What to do if my name was forged on a promissory note signed by my daughter-in-law?

What recourse do I have? I want my name off of this note. I was out of state when this occured. I began receiving late payment notices and threats of collection from this bank. I called my son and asked him why I was getting this stuff and he told me that my name had been given as a credit reference. He lied about this to me. I never gave permission for my name to be signed on any note. Every month I’m called my son and his wife to tell them to get this taken care of. I am not paying this bill. It’s a mess.
