| claim | free route | statute |
|---|---|---|
| Landlord & tenant a landlord keeping my deposit | — | Utah Code § 57-17-3 |
| Employment unpaid overtime | The Wage Claim Unit of the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division does more than investigate: its own description is that it processes, investigates, mediates, adjudicates and files judgments on wage claims. A judgment from it is enforceable the way a court's is, which is unusual for a state wage office.↗ | — |
| Consumer a debt collector harassing me | The Division of Consumer Protection takes the complaint, and it warns that filing may result in an investigation and legal action by the Division rather than a refund to you. Attach the documents: contracts, receipts, proof of payment, emails, texts, screenshots, recordings.↗ | — |
| Employment being fired for complaining | Your EEOC deadline here is 300 days rather than the 180 most national articles print, and the reason is the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division: the extension in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) turns on whether a state agency has authority over the same conduct, and here one does. That office takes the charge and it costs nothing. It also sets a filing deadline of its own, and in a dozen states that one is shorter than the federal window — ask the office for its date rather than counting on the 300.↗ | — |
| Injury a car accident | — | Utah Code § 78B-2-307(3) |
