Managing Store Cards

[sb_66]

My mum is increasingly forgetful and has numerous store cards. How do we manage what is being spent without a power of attorney?

I do not know what you could do.
Why does your mum need numerous cards?
Can she still go shopping on her own?

I allow myself one store card only. It is possible to reduce one's credit limit too.

Does mum use in store or online, if online deleting the three security numbers on the card means it’s not usable online. No idea how to disable the magnetic strip though.

Is it possible for you to get hold of the cards and simply destroy them (cut up into small pieces and out with the rubbish) so that your Mum doesn't have any cards to use? Or persuade your Mum to allow you to write to the stores concerned to reduce her credit limit so the repayments are a more manageable amount and she doesn't therefore have the facility to spend any more on the cards?
