Two months later, The cement company said he paid for the cement with a Maxed out credit card. The cement company filed a lien on my property.

You will need to sue the contractor to indemnify your from the concrete company. If you cannot find the contractor, you will have to pay to remove the lien.

I'm not real well versed in Utah lien law. It's best that you hire a local attorney in Utah to handle this matter for you.
