Signatures on letters??

I have just been reading several different threads on MSE where the advice given seems to be that you must not personally sign any letters that are sent to creditors or their DCAs.
I have just sent all my creditors full and final offers and I have signed everyone of them personally.
Need I by worried? What can /will they actually do with it??

Nothing you can do if you already sent them.
The advice for not signing them in simple. Creditors and debt collectors have been caught red handed in terms of forging credit agreements. They super-impose your signature on a new agreement, given they have lost the old agreement.
They aren't going to do it everytime, and i think it is fairly rare for it to happen as it is fraud in the fullest sense. Unless your planning to ask for copies of all your agreements, and even then, i would not worry about it.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

Really I would never have believed they could stoop so low!!
Joking aside, thanks for the re-assurance! I had a bit of an feeling that may be the reason but was not too sure.adde parvum parvo magnus acervus erit

Cabot copying a signature.
Problem is, they copied the brothers signature (who wrote the letters) onto the sisters credit agreement! - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/259518-cabot-deceitful-dirty-tricks.htmlAlthough no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
