They saved you the trouble of writing out your signature. It's a case of "no harm, no foul." Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't see how you are harmed here.
And, technically, it's not forgery if they are not attempting to make some financial gain.
Worst that can be said is that whoever wrote your name where your signature belongs shouldn't have done that. So send a nasty letter to his/her boss, suggesting that the person be admonished. | | |  | Expert | |

Or perhaps a thank you letter, since they saved you the time and trouble of having to return to sign paper work that was forgotten for some reason. Should they have done it ? NO of course not, but they did not take the title, try to steal the car they merely helped you get the title for yourself.
I guess I don't see what the big issue is all about. | | |  | Uber Member | |

You are requesting ANYONE who wants to comment to do so. Nor do you have the right to pick and choose who can respond or not. Unless a response violates our rules (in which case you use the Report link to report it) then you have the right to comment on the response or ignore it. But you don't have the right to tell anyone to not respond.
Second, I have to agree with the others. You purchased a car and to service you and help you get the car as soon as possible the dealership signed the application for you. Instead of thanking them you want to file criminal charges against them. The police are likely to tell you the same thing if you go to them. Unless there is something you aren't telling us (and getting details from you seems difficult) I don't see any reason for your ire. | | |  | New Member | |

| | | So you are all saying, except Miss Judy, that it is ok for someone to forge your name on a document when the document cleary states that before signing it you are certain that the information is true and accurate? No it not right. It doesnt matter what the document is for. If i use this document with this signature on it, I will be obtaining a registration for my car illegally. | | |  | Expert | |

Then I'd drive it illegally. That'll show 'em.
