About a year ago I got desperate and took out a log book loan. I work in a pub full time but the money just didn't cut it so I had no choice.
The man who took my log book loan said that he would give me money to witness him signing something, and that because I had a law degree albeit 10 years ago, I was professional and could do it. He said all I needed to do was write my name and address and sign. Then sign his receipt book as well which I think was for him to claim the money back from his boss.
I think this is going to come back and bite me, because I shouldn't have signed it because he did my own log book loan so it's not like im independent. He wrote down that I was a solicitor and said it was fine because its like car insurance where you pick the profession closest to you. I said it was wrong but I had already signed by then.
He said the form goes to the court and is sealed in a vault. I don't know why or what that means. I signed 8 of them but not my own. He asked me to sign more the following week but I said no because I thought we'd done wrong. He said we hadn't. He's since taken very ill and doesn't work for the log book people anymore.
It was only like £40 he gave me but it paid the food shop that week and I was so desperate.
Should I write to the court and explain what has happened? I don't even know which court it is, he just said it was sealed in a vault at court and he posted it to them. I'm scared my name's on a register somewhere. I don't even know what exactly I signed, is it a bill of sale? I just know he signed it then I did. Then after he wrote or ticked solcitor I can't remember which but it's the same pen so it's not like I can prove otherwise.
If someone defaults or gets the car repossessed I assume it comes out of the vault and it will then all come to light?
