==About==
The following is an exchange between [[Woozle]] and [[Chase bank]], conducted via the secure messaging feature of [http://chase.com their web site] (which lately only works for me in Chrome, not Firefox... but that's a separate issue).

We have recently resolved a very difficult situation that began several years ago, and are now ready to try and address this debt. Our means remain very limited, but should improve over time.

Can you offer a reduced amount as a lump sum payout to settle Sandy's debt to Chase, including all three accounts {{faint|[numbers redacted]}}, and what would that amount be? Alternatively, what monthly payment schedule would you accept as a plan to pay off these debts?

Thank you.

This is Nick Staddon typing this message. I've been helping Sandy with her financial situation. I don't think I'm listed as a cardholder on any of the Chase accounts. If I called the number you gave below, would you be able to speak to me about this matter? If not, to what address should Sandy send a letter authorizing you to speak with me? Thank you.

Sandy wants me to speak with you about this. She is not prepared to speak with you on her own behalf at this time. What does she need to do in order to authorize you to speak with me?

Thank you,

I'm sorry, I think I must be misunderstanding something.

Sandy would be happy to send you a notarized letter authorizing me to access this account.

What I don't understand is why I need to have a power of attorney. I don't need authority to act on her behalf; I just want to discuss her options for payment on this account.

Would the notarized letter of authorization you described be sufficient?

Thank you,<br><br>Nick
