    I did qualify an invoked POA. But hey!

    Your life is too short to be unhappy 5 days a week in exchange for 2 days of freedom!

    One can always make more money. No one who has ever lived can create more time.

    Hi All, thank you for your responses and advise.

    As Sourcrates suggests, letter to the bank seems like a best option. Although, I understand, that this bank account was dealt with at one point, bank had frozen interest. But when the payments took the balance back to within arranged overdraft, they had unfrozen interest, and let it go again to run up bigger balance by adding them.

    It will be very interesting to see how they respond to the question of writing off this debt, I don't believe this was ever asked.
