Signature was forged
by someone at the dealership where my friend bought his car. Apparently they forgot to have some forms signed and then were sent to him and they were blank. It was not the bill of sale but rather a dealer agreement pricing form. He contacted the sales rep and was told he would get a completed copy once they get it back. Never happened, after much hounding on his part, a form was mailed to him (un-signed by dealeship) but was signed and initialed by someone at the dealership.
Any opinions/advice on this.

If it was just a form for something and no harm was done personally I would just forget about it... "Basically a no harm no foul" thing. If he just wants to make trouble than thats his/her right... Now if some harm was done, thats another story and he/she certainly has the right to damages..
Forging documents is a serious thing... But to me it would depend on what it was and why the dealer did it.. I had to sign a couple of minor docs that my dealer about 200 miles from where my house is forgot at delivery and in truth I asked him just to sign it for me, he wouldn't so back and forth by overnight mail went the docs... If he had signed them for me I couldn't have cared less, it was just an oversight on a delivery receipt and registration paper... But thats me and everyone is different..

C6 related ?
Is this a C6 we're talking about ? If so, why isn't that person doing the asking. If the car in question is not a C6, the question should be posted to the correct forum.

if he has a question which might lead to the breaking of the laws, he should contact an attorney. asking legal questions on a car forum is not such a good idea.

When doing paperwork, on a new deal, most dealerships have the buyer sign a "POA" to clear up any details with transfer of ownership. This is commonplace with both a used trade and a new vehicle.
Contact the dealer and get specifics........if you like!
POA = Power of Attorney

Under POA, someone can sign on your behalf but they would sign their own name, not yours.
I would not tolerate someone signing MY name, unless I specifically authorized it. Depending on the situation, it could be a big deal but likely not in this case if it is a standard form that must be signed to do the deal. They should have called you and asked you to sign, Fax (scanned emails) signatures are legal pretty well everywhere nowadays and can
If the document contains terms you don't agree with, get it voided, call a lawyer if need be - if it contains terms you do agree with, void it anyway and sing a new one yourself

He will be joining once he returns to the states and gets a little more time. Thanks again.

This is a moot subject until we know exactly what forums are being discussed/questioned as forms vary by state.

Sort of like all the paperwork you have to fill out when you go to the doctors office. You walk out with wads of paper that have statements you were informed of this and that and so on and which you throw in the nearest shredder.
