Acting on behalf of my son ** WON **

[assisi]

Hi CAG
I am acting on behalf of my son. I'm just filling out the N1 Claim form and have a couple of questions which I hope someone can advise on
1) I have put my sons name as the claimant. When signing the statement of truth at the bottom do I put 'the Claimant believes' that the facts stated are true or 'I believe'?
2) When it says I am duly authorised by the claimant to sign this statement - Do I need to provide anything from my son to substatiate this?
Any advice gratefully received
Thanks

Have just had a quick look at your ther posts. Just want to clarify something. Although you say you are acting on behalf of your son, is he unable to represent himself for health reasons ? If so are you his 'Litigation friend' ?

I have now read up a few comments from others and realize that I can't act as a 'Litigation Friend' so we are going to file the claim under my sons name and he will sign. Problem may come that he'l be in California before the case gets to court/settlement date. Does anyone know whether I can attend in his place with his permission or if not does the case just get flung out?

i have read a few posts like this you will have to send all documents that need signed to him and he will need to be there in any court attendance give your local court a ring first just in case i could be wrong

Thanks for this - thats what I thought from what I had read. Going to the court with the N1 today so will ask for clarification.

Hiya

Been there done that


You need to download a copy of the power of attorney document

fill it in as your son giving you enduring power of attorney

get a solicitor to endorse/certify it

this will give you FULL power to act , when/his day comes in court you stand there "as if him"


Sign all docs As Attorney for and on behalf of Mr X

Ps the court will not advise you , they will say seek legal advice

Thanks very much for this. As it happens i'm not going to need it as Lloyds have just refunded everything in full. Just about to post details.

Out of the blue I received a letter from lloyds which appeared to be an offer but is actually for the whole amount I was claiming on behalf of my son - £490 pounds - which they say will be in his account within ten days. No idea why! My son had gone over his overdraft limit for only a minor amount of time and almost all the charges related to charges imposed by Lloyds. Dont know if this made a difference. Good luck to everyone else trying to get their money back and thanks for the help - the community is fantastic support and is really giving the power back to ordinary people to fight these injustices. Would like to donate and hope other people who win don't forget to do the same.

Would like to make a donation to the site - do I do this on paypal and if so do I just mark it as a donation?
Many Thanks

Can you divulge the size of the claim and a little more info?

Hi
See above on this thread for details - claim for £490 covered in full. I didn't claim compound interest - just wanted to get my sons student account back in the black.
