Hello
Im in california and I recently returned a leased car to the original dealer after a brief 2 month extension. I returned the car on August 31, to avoid having to pay for September. When I called the car finance capital group to extend the original contract they said as long as I turn in the vehicle before the first of the month, I do not have to pay for any additional months. When I first extended my lease I had thought that maybe id extend it 4. They said that doesnt matter and I could have it for two, which is what I did, with no penalty.
Here is my issue. When I returned the car on August 31st the guy who did lease returns wasnt there. They convinced me it wouldnt be a problem and I left. Well, little did I know that the next day on 9-1 some sales person would forge my signature with the odomoter reading stating I had returned the car on 9-1. There were two official documents with my forged siganture. Now, they want to charge me for September which is like $500.
Whats my recourse? Forging someone's signature is obviously illegal.
What are my rights? How should I proceed?
THANKS.
