Signed Authority, how do I word it?

Been in touch with some of my creditors regarding my outstanding debt with them and they have written back asking for a signed authority?

To be honest im not sure how to word it, any idea's people?

Thanks...

    Are you trying to authorise someone else to deal with these companies on your behalf?

    Yeah, something like that. The letter template I found was from a debt management agency who make their templates available for download, taking a closer look at the letter id imagine Egg may have thought it was from a debt management company on my behalf which may explain the signed authority request?

    Are you trying to get Egg to talk/write to someone else, instead of you?

    Aha, just put your name and details at the top.

    If they have been corresponding with a third party in the past, then just put that from the date above, all correspondence is to be sent directly to you at the above address and that .....XXXXX...... are no longer acting on your behalf and no further details to be sent to them.
