CONSUMER PROTECTION COMPLAINT FORM
Before proceeding, please read, understand the material in the box below, or download the Consumer Complaint Information. Then check the box to move on to the complaint form. This information explains the Attorney General's duties and responsibilities regarding Consumer Protection Complaints. This will assist you in filling out the form and providing our office with the correct information. (If you prefer to fill out and mail in the form, please download the form here.)
"Consumer Complaint Information"

Consumer Protection and the Attorney General’s Authority
The Idaho Consumer Protection Act prohibits commercial sellers from engaging in unfair competition and unfair and deceptive business practices in trade and commerce. The Attorney General enforces the Act and may file civil actions on behalf of the State of Idaho in situations of statewide significance. The Attorney General does not represent individual consumers.

When to File a Complaint
If you experience a loss of property because of a seller’s misleading or deceptive business practices, you should file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Division. You can submit your complaint to our voluntary dispute resolution process or provide your complaint for informational purposes only.

Dispute Resolution Process
Our dispute resolution process is voluntary and requires the cooperation of all parties. If your complaint claims a violation of the laws our office enforces, we will forward it to the business for a response. If we receive a response, we will send it to you. This process may take several weeks to several months. If you need to “update” your complaint after submitting it, please do so in writing. If you have a legal emergency, you should contact a private attorney.

Public Record Disclosure
Your complaint form and any supporting documents you provide are public records. Do not send us original documents or documents that show personal identifying information (SSN, DOB, driver’s license number, and bank account numbers). “White-out” personal or confidential data before you send it to our office.

Before proceeding, please read and understand the explanation of the Attorney General's duties and responsibilities listed in the box below. This will assist you in filling out the form and providing our office with the correct information. (Click here to download "Explanation of Duties and Responsibilities")
"EXPLANATION OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES "

Before filling out the form, please read the following sections carefully.

IDAHO CODE § 31-2002:
County prosecuting attorneys and county sheriffs have primary responsibility for enforcing Idaho’s criminal laws. As a rule, the Attorney General may investigate and prosecute cases at the county level only when a statute grants the Attorney General concurrent jurisdiction or when local authorities request assistance for a specific case.

However, Idaho Code § 31-2002 gives the Attorney General the authority to investigate alleged violations of state criminal law by elected county officials and who are acting in their official capacity. A complaint must meet all three of these criteria for the Office of the Attorney General to investigate.

Upon completion of an investigation into such allegations, the Attorney General may (a) Issue a finding that no further action is necessary; (b) Prescribe training or other non-judicial remedies not involving the filing of criminal charges; or, (c) Conduct further investigation and retain the matter for prosecution.

What violations does the statute cover? Idaho Code § 31-2002 authorizes the Attorney General to investigate alleged violations of state criminal law by county officers holding elective office. This does not include: (1) Violations of city or county ordinances; (2) Acts with which the complaining party merely disagrees; (3) Inadequate performance of duties; (4) Policy violations; and (5) Acts performed in obedience to or permitted by a court order. The statute specifically excludes investigations into open meeting violations.

Who can be investigated? Idaho Code § 31-2002 applies to allegations involving "a county officer occupying an elective office." This includes only the following officers: (1) County Commissioners; (2) County Prosecutor; (3) County Sheriff; (4) County Clerk; (5) County Assessor; (6) County Treasurer; and (7) County Coroner. It does not include deputies or any other county, state or municipal employee.

Defining Official Capacity
A county officer acts in his/her "official capacity" when the action takes place "while the officer is working or claims to be working on behalf of his employer at his workplace or elsewhere, while the officer is at his workplace whether or not he is working at the time, involves the use of public property or equipment of any kind or involves the expenditure of public funds." Idaho Code § 31-2002(5).

If you believe a violation of the law has occurred that does not meet all three of these criteria, you should report it to your local law enforcement authorities.

Process for Reporting Violations
Please complete the online reporting form. Make sure to provide your name, address, phone number and email, since we may have to contact you for additional information. Provide as much information as you can regarding the violation(s) you believe have been committed.

Each complaint is reviewed by Office of the Attorney General staff. If we determine no further action is necessary, you will be informed in as timely a manner as possible. If further action is necessary, a response may be delayed. In order to maintain the integrity and fairness of the legal process, our office does not comment on pending investigations, and we are unable to provide any information until an investigation and related legal proceedings are completed.

Public Records
Pursuant to Idaho's public records law, any complaint form or associated documents become public records when submitted to this office. This office may be required to disclose such documents if requested. All documents submitted become the property of this office. Original submissions will not be returned, so please send only copies of documents if you desire to retain the original.
INFORMATION ABOUT COUNTY OFFICIAL (REQUIRED)
Office Held*
The Office of the Attorney General welcomes your submission regarding these elected county positions: Assessor; Clerk, Auditor or Recorder; Commissioner; Coroner; Prosecuting Attorney; Sheriff; or Treasurer, Public Administrator or Tax Collector.

The Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division reviews all consumer complaints to determine what action is appropriate. If your complaint identifies the name and address of the caller or if we are able to identify the caller from the telephone number provided, we will forward your complaint to the caller for a response.

Because illegitimate businesses and criminals are able to "spoof" the telephone number that appears on the consumer's caller ID, it may be impossible for the Consumer Protection Division to identify the source of the call. However, when possible, our office works with other law enforcement offices and telecommunication companies to track down the perpetrators of these unwanted calls and hold them accountable under state and federal telemarketing laws.
