Re: Request to File Report of Identity Theft (ORS 165.800 / ORS 165.803)

Dear Records Officer:

I am the victim of identity theft and am requesting that your agency open a case and provide me with a written police report or case number. The conduct constitutes a violation of:

• ORS 165.800 (Identity Theft — Class C felony); and, where applicable,
• ORS 165.803 (Aggravated Identity Theft — Class B felony).

A federal violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1028 may also be present.

I have enclosed:

1. A signed and notarized Identity Theft Affidavit;
2. Schedule A — list of fraudulent accounts and credit-bureau inquiries;
3. Schedule B — supporting documentary evidence (credit reports, statements, correspondence);
4. A copy of my government-issued photo identification; and
5. Proof of my Oregon residency (utility bill / lease).

The discovery date of the theft was [__/__/____], and I estimate the aggregate fraudulent activity at $[________________________________]. [If 10 or more fraudulent transactions / accounts within 180 days, or aggregate loss exceeds $10,000, the conduct may qualify as Aggravated Identity Theft under ORS 165.803.]

Please record this matter as an identity-theft offense and provide a case number, a copy of the report, and the name and contact information of the assigned investigator. The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681c-2, requires me to provide an "identity theft report" to the consumer reporting agencies in order to block fraudulent tradelines, and an Oregon law-enforcement police report meets that definition.

Thank you for your prompt attention. Please contact me at the number or email above if you require any additional information.

Respectfully,

[________________________________]

6. OREGON PRACTICE NOTES

• ORS 165.800 vs. ORS 165.803. Standard identity theft is a Class C felony. The "aggravated" tier (Class B felony) applies when there are 10+ separate incidents within 180 days, aggregate loss is $10,000+, or the perpetrator possesses 10+ pieces of personal identification belonging to 10+ different persons. Flag aggravated facts in the police-report cover letter so the agency charges appropriately.
• Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act (OCIPA), ORS 646A.600–.628. OCIPA governs business-side duties: implementing safeguards (ORS 646A.622), notifying Oregon residents within 45 days of a breach (ORS 646A.604), and prohibiting public posting/printing of SSNs (ORS 646A.620). DCBS enforces; civil penalties up to $1,000/violation, capped at $500,000.
• Free security freeze. ORS 646A.604/646A.628 entitle Oregon consumers to free placement, lift, and removal of security freezes at the three nationwide CRAs and at specialty agencies (ChexSystems, NCTUE, LexisNexis, Innovis).
• FTC Identity Theft Report. Pair this affidavit with the FTC Identity Theft Report from IdentityTheft.gov. Together they satisfy 15 U.S.C. § 1681a(q)(4) and trigger the four-business-day block at the CRAs.
• Civil leverage. A debt collector who continues to pursue a debt that the affidavit shows is fraudulent risks liability under FDCPA § 1692e/§ 1692f and Oregon UDCPA, ORS 646.639/646.641. The affidavit functions both as consumer remedy and as plaintiff's evidence in any later civil action.
• Tax-related theft. File IRS Form 14039 separately and request an Identity Protection PIN; notify the Oregon Department of Revenue.
• Mail theft. If mail theft is suspected, file a report with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (1-877-876-2455).
• Notary. Oregon authorizes remote online notarization under ORS 194.215; ensure the notarial certificate states the technology used.
• Statute of limitations on civil claims. Oregon's general 2-year SOL for personal-injury torts (ORS 12.110) and 6-year SOL for actions on a contract or statutory liability (ORS 12.080) may apply depending on the theory of recovery. Diary the SOL from the date of discovery.
