Should I file a police report?

Yes. Police reports often assist other agencies with repairing damaged credit. Generally speaking, the police report should be filed with the jurisdiction where the charges or accounts were generated.  If you are a Loudoun County resident, you may file a report here, even if your information was not used in the County. The law does allow for either jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute the offenders if captured, however, investigation leads are easier to advance with the jurisdiction where the offense occurred.
