NOTES OF DECISIONS

      Failure to register is not “status” such that unregistered debt management services provider can violate this section only once for period of time that registration would have been valid if provider had registered. Violation of this section occurs each time, while unregistered, person “engage[d] in business in this state in the course of which the person [p]erform[ed] a debt management service;” thus, debt management services provider violated this section each time provider held initial paid consultation with new Oregon consumer without having registered with Director of Department of Consumer and Business Services.
