Q: Is it legal for an individual to submit a recommendation to receive a award in your name without your permission.
It happen a few years ago I notified the person who received the award from the CIF southern section. I have all documents regarding this matter.
A:
Sorry i have no idea how this ended up in the criminal section. Did they impersonate you or just recommend you for an award?
Bottom line, if it happened a few years ago, it is probably too late. But what is your Complaint? Did you get in trouble? If someone impersonated you, make a police report.... Again, they will want to know what took so long...
I hope this helps but your question was hard to decipher....
Tim Akpinar agrees with this answer
A:
I'm not fully clear on the facts here, but it looks like you may have been impersonated in recommending someone for an award without your authority. If that's the case, a court would have to examine what your damages were (financial loss, professional loss (being beaten out for a desirable position), reputation loss (endorsing someone who was not highly regarded, which diminished your prestige?). Damages in a such a matter would be difficult and costly to prove, and as Mr. Kestenbaum points out, considerable time has elapsed. Good luck
