Unsure if it would affect it. Could she not just give you her card to do it instead of putting your name on it?

This is illegal to have someone elses card and or pin number and banks are required by their laws to take the card for you.

I deposited a chq into Lloyds for my bestfriend i had his card for the account info gave it to the girl and the chq. She said im going to give you the opportunity to go fill out a dep slip otherwise if you give me this card I wil have to take it away from you.

I would go for POA this to me is the best option. My OH has this for his mother....had it for several years..... at least you are covered if council ask any questions.

Thanks for the advice everyone, I suppose POA is the way to go.
