What if the police won't take a report?

Some police departments may be reluctant to write a report on a crime of this kind, taking the position that since the creditor suffered the financial loss, you're not the victim. They may insist that the creditor file the complaint. The creditor, however, may choose not to cooperate, calculating that it's not cost-effective to spend time and energy assisting the police. Nevertheless, even if the creditor won't prosecute, insist that the police take a report.
