Q: People made me sign a document. I only know that people ordered me to sign it and then left quickly.
People made me sign a document. I can provide details but it would never be believed. I only know that people made me sign a document and then left my house quickly. I do not know who they were. I do not know what I signed. Is there any advice to me on finding out what I signed? Once again... Proving that "I didn't or did" sign is unimportant to me. Finding out who or what broke into my house to sign a document which I do not know I signed is much more important to me. How could I find out what I signed? It might lead to a lawful arrest. It probably happened to other people.

A:
It sounds like a very troubling situation, and it's important to take action to protect yourself. The first thing you can do is check for any physical copies of the document in your home. Look through all your papers to see if there’s anything unfamiliar. If you can't find anything, consider contacting your bank or any other institutions where you have accounts to see if any unusual transactions or agreements have been made in your name.
You should also report the incident to your local law enforcement. This could be treated as a break-in or identity theft, and they may be able to investigate further, including checking for fingerprints or surveillance footage in your neighborhood. Providing law enforcement with as many details as possible about the incident could help them track down who was responsible.
Lastly, consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report. This will help protect you from any potential misuse of your identity while you try to find out more about the document. Keep track of any other unusual activities in your life that might be connected to this situation and keep detailed records for future reference.
