Can a person with a general power of attorney conduct someone's business affairs?

Answer

Yes. You may contact creditors and inform them of the situation. This will not keep them from intitiating collection action or reporting to credit agencies. Having a power of attorney does not make the person financially obligated. In some (not all) states a power of attorney grants legal authority to file bankruptcy or other actions on behalf of the debtor.
