My son and his wife are separated and before she left she took out a $12,000 loan and signed his name and used his social security number to get it. What should or can he do?

Re: Forgery or Fraud?

You should report it to the police and ask them to refer it to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution.

You can also file a civil suite to recover those funds. Also, if she signed the promissory note in front of a notary public or in front of the lender as you, they could also possibly be liable for a variety of reasons via conspiracy.
