Implying that I forged a signature..

[Consumer dude]

This is connected to my other thread on lending money but felt it deserved a thread of its own. The person who owes me money and to which he has confirmed with his signature and later agreed by the court has now turned round to say that he did not sign this document but if he didn't, then who did.

 

By way of implication, am I being accused of forgery, slander, libel or anything else ? Be grateful what to do with this current issue..

Part of his witness statement was that he declared to the court that the signature that he signed to confirm what he owed me was not his which I would have thought had other implications. What do others think ?

Slander is the spoken word, Libel is the written word.

[Consumer dude]

Slander is the spoken word, Libel is the written word.

 

Yes, feels like possible libel to me at the very least by that if it is not his signature, then I may be being implicated to an illegal act ?

[Consumer dude]

When making this statement to the court, because he had stated that it wasn't his signature, how would I go about getting a report of his complaint that he had made to the police or would it be possible I could request that of him ?

[SabreSheep]

I would it would be for him to prove to the court that the document is forged.

 

A police investigation *IF* it happens would provide evidence that he would *try* and present

 

Im guessing that maybe he thinks just having a crime reference number will be enough

In the defendants witness statement, he claimed he had reported the issue to the police, and I can only assume he was given a crime reference number. Are the police now likely to investigate this claim, and why would the police give out a crime number when no crime has been proved ?

[SabreSheep]

Remember.

 

Issue of a crime number is not proof a crime was committed mearly that an accusation has been reported.

 

On that basis until an investigation is concluded a crime number means nothing

[Consumer dude]

What would be the correct way of obtaining a report of an accusation if I was to believe that I was mentioned in such an accusation..

[Consumer dude]

Are the police obligated to investigate this accusation..

[Consumer dude]

Could I request an SAR to the defendant in question for a copy of what was reported to the police if I may be party to that accusation..

[SabreSheep]

A SAR is only applicable to corporate or public bodies

[Consumer dude]

A SAR is only applicable to corporate or public bodies

 

Ok, so Could I SAR the police ?

Set a side was dismissed in your thread so its irrelevant anyway.

Game set and match ?

[AndyOrch]

Yes unless he wishes to bring a seperate claim of his own
