Providing a letter of authority

Use the letter of authority process to give permission for a third party to manage your account on your behalf.

What is a letter of authority?

A letter of authority allows a third party to deal with your account on your behalf. This could be your partner, an associate, a solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau, your landlord or another company.
