(2) Upon receiving the certificate, the Secretary of State or recording officer shall enter it in full length in the index of liens upon chattels.
(3) If any lien claimant, after full payment of the claim, within 10 days after being requested thereto, fails to discharge the claim of lien, the person is liable to the owner of the chattel formerly subject to the lien in the sum of $100 damages and for all actual damages caused by the failure of the lien claimant to discharge the claim of lien.

(a) The date and location where the claim of lien was filed with the Secretary of State;
(b) That the lien has expired and is discharged because no suit to foreclose or proceeding under ORS 87.272 to 87.306 has been initiated with respect to such lien claim; and
(c) That the person filing such certificate has personally contacted the clerk of the circuit court in such county to determine that no suit to foreclose or proceeding under ORS 87.272 to 87.306 has been filed prior to the expiration of the time period set forth in ORS 87.266 (2).
