The Power of Attorney trap
What you actually hand over when you sign with a commission service.
Legal referenceAssignment / mandate terms
Commission services need a signed Power of Attorney or an assignment of your claim. That lets them negotiate, settle, and receive the payout into their account before passing on your share — minus their cut.
- They, not you, control whether to accept a settlement
- The airline pays them; you wait for them to forward your share
- They collect ID, boarding pass, booking and often bank details
A flat-fee letter keeps the claim — and the payout — entirely in your name.
