2) Before contacting the CCB; you should try and find the Locksmith's CCB Licensed number by going to the CCB's web site:
https://www.oregon.gov/CCB/pages/index.aspx
Then do a search for the Locksmith's Name (Contractor Search):
http://search.ccb.state.or.us/search/
They write down the CCB License Number of that Locksmith and include it in the letter to the CCB Enforcement Officers.
Make a copy of the invoice and write a letter to the CCB about your experience with the locksmith and what questions you want answers too. The CCB Enforcement Officers should get back to you in a few days to a week. They are very busy.
