NEED ADVICE: Identity theft by relative; call police?

[ejpoeta]

78. i have been screwed over by plenty of people in my life.

It seems simple enough. Just let it go. Deal with it next year. But forging the signature is worse than just using pressure and manipulation. This is a step further. Not even asking for the signature. You are at the point where you need to nip it in the bud. I agree that the person should be given the opportunity to make it right before involving the authorities. I understand people in a tough situation, but it just seems this situation is getting progressively worse. "Family" doesn't mean you need to be a doormat. Waiting another year just will make it worse. And harder because the OP let it go. See how hard it was the second year to say no.... well you breached that wall once, now it is harder to say no. Now not even bothering to ask.... just forging a signature.... another wall breached.... letting it go is implicit approval.
