What is the name of your state? Ohio
I am insurance agent in Ohio. Client came to me in 09/2004 for guadianship probate bond and the bond was approved over the phone by the surety company. Client sumbitted bond to court and when submitted to surety company they denied the bond based on our agency did not have the authority to write the specific bond amount. I was the sales manager for the company, and only the president was licensed to write the bonds, but for years he left a rubber stamp of his signature in the office to use for certain documents like bonds. This time he told me to just sign his name, because the rubber stamp was not in the office anymore. I quit this position in 04/05 because I was not being paid as agreed, and now collecting unemployment. Now he is saying I forged his name without his knowledge. I had nothing to gain out of the situation? Can i be held personally liable, what can happen?? I am moving out of the state in less then 90 days. Please give advice!!
