forged signature

[gilligan]

someone forged my wifes signature after she was not willing to sign for a job which was not done to satisfaction, and received a grant for compleated work, i know this is against the law but what can be done about it, no one cares,
please advise

[Postdog]

Register with whoever officially that it was not her signature. It might not change anything, but you get it on record.

we had cavity wall insulation done, and they broke a vent in the bathroom and the outside light, the work was done on a grant from the local council, the vent and lamp was replaced and the contractor told to bring the forms back to be signed, they never came back and then the council tells us that my wife signed it on the day the work was carried out, this was no so so someone forged it, i know we are not out of pocket but this should not happen under any circumstances

You're not out of pocket. So why not get a life and forget about it, instead of harrasing workers. My god man, what a nazi!

i wanted helpful guidence not slagging off, if it was your signature they forged would you not be thinking what sort of employees this firm have brought to your house, surley we should have confidence in the staff that we let into our property, if we have to forge customers signatures to earn an "honest" living surley then YOU MAMJET should get into the real world, (how did you know i was a German)

[pink-kittens]

gilligan, waste not your time on the idiot that is Mamjet. Your subtlety about being German will be lost on he/she anyway

Why not speak to someone at the council?

[gilligan]

we have done, its just a waiting game, but its hard to find out what your rights are, like i said before noone seems to care, i will let you all know the outcome, thanks for your coments

Even though you didn't pay for this work someone did, so forging your wifes signature to get this payment must be fraudulant,

Contact your Citizens advice bureau they may help, or ask the local police force, they may have an officer who deals with fraud or may have had other complaints about this firm.
Your local trading standards office may have record of this company and may be able to help.

If no-one is able to help I would write letters to the Chairman of your Local Council and the Leader of the Councillors at your local council, both envelopes marked Private and Confidential, tell them you are disappointed at the lack of response to your complaint about the fraudulent signature and ask them to investigate.
If you are still unhappy at the reply contact the Local Government Ombudsman.
