Now-Bankrupt Husband Accused Of Forging Spouse's Name On $13M+ In Mortgages Secured By Family Home; Wife, Three Kids Now Face Foreclosure

In Brisbane, Australia, The Sunday Telegraph reports:
  • THE wife of declared bankrupt and former Billabong surfwear boss Matthew Perrin has made startling allegations of identity fraud and forgery in a Supreme Court bid to protect her luxury Gold Coast mansion from the circling Commonwealth Bank.

  • Nicole Perrin claims her signature was forged on two mortgage documents and on a guarantee against loans worth more than $13 million extended to her husband by the bank, court documents show. The Commonwealth Bank claims Mrs Perrin last year took out two mortgages against her $15 million Surfers Paradise mansion, where she lives with the couple's three children. The bank has applied for a court order to repossess the two-storey Cronin Island home after Mr Perrin declared himself bankrupt in March. [...] Mrs Perrin has applied to the Supreme Court in Brisbane for a restraining order to stop the bank taking the home. In her claim, Mrs Perrin says she did not authorise or consent to the mortgages and says it is not her signature on a loan guarantee.
