If you think a forgery has occurred, tell the other party (Sallie Mae) ASAP. You might also need to file a police report. If you do not, then you mihgt be found liable later, as you would appear to allow the forgery to fester,. A court could find that you accepted the respnsibility for the debt by not taking appropriate steps, after you learned of their reliance on your alleged signature.

Good luck
