Utah Identity Theft Recovery: Clear Your Name

You shouldn’t pay for a criminal’s spending spree.

Filing a report at IdentityTheft.gov is just the first step. In Utah, credit bureaus and debt buyers often ignore these reports, leaving fraudulent accounts on your record. At Cannon Legal PLLC, we use the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Utah Identity Fraud Act to force bureaus to remove the damage and, in many cases, pay for the harm they’ve caused.

How Identity Theft Hits Utahns

  • Fraudulent Accounts: Criminals open new credit cards or utility accounts in your name, leaving you with the bill.

  • Debt Collection Abuse: You are hounded by debt buyers (like Midland or Portfolio Recovery) for money you never spent.

  • Mixed Files: Not all “theft” is criminal; sometimes credit bureaus merge your file with a relative or stranger with a similar name.

  • Criminal Identity Theft: Someone uses your name during a Utah law enforcement stop, resulting in a “phantom” criminal record.

Our 3-Step Recovery Process

  • Free Security Freezes: Under Utah law, you can freeze your credit for free to prevent new accounts from being opened.

  • Restitution for Your Time: The Utah Identity Fraud Act allows victims to seek restitution for the time and money (including attorney fees) spent clearing their name.

  • Immediate Debt Blocks: Once we provide a valid police report, bureaus have a strict timeline to block fraudulent information from your report.
