Hello lfc1983,

I am not sure if you can act on someone elses behalf but I see no reason why you cant do the work for them and carry on with the claim as if it was from your relative.

Providing your relative gives you all the relevant information then I see no problem doing it this way

I am claiming on OH's behalf, he gave me all the info, I am doing the letters etc., all he has to do is sign them. The only problem might be phone calls, as banks don't tend to speak to people who are not the account holders themselves.

Hi Everyone, My Nephew has recently sent off to Barclays for a list of his charges,However, he is in the Army and is being posted abroad in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know how we can change it so that his Mum has the right to deal with his claim? Does he have to write to the Bank or go in with his Mum?.Any help on this would be much appreciated, Many Thanks in advance.

No you can't act on someone else's behalf at court unless you are a Solicitor.

You can help them with their claim as a "Litigant's Friend", but they either have to do it themselves or employ a solicitor to do it.

Obviously you can deal with the bank on their behalf, but not with the court.

Can I speak as a Litigants friend--I dealt with the banks up to court stage using a POA signed letter?
