FAQ
If your criminal charges are dismissed without prejudice, it means your case is not moving forward, and you're no longer charged with a crime—but it also leaves the door open for the prosecution to refile the same charges against you if they see fit.
When a debt collector files a "Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice," it means they are withdrawing their case against you, at least for now. Since this dismissal is "without prejudice," they reserve the right to refile the case in the future.
The dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not mean that you won the issue regarding the debt. It just means that the creditor stopped fighting in court without conceding that you won. So the dismissal ``without prejudice'' does not necessarily help your argument to remove this from your credit report.
A case dismissed with prejudice is over and done with, once and for all, and can't be brought back to court. A case dismissed without prejudice means the opposite. It's not dismissed forever. The person whose case it is can try again.
A case dismissed “without prejudice” means that the lawsuit can be re-filed. However, to re-file the case, the statute of limitations for collecting a debt still applies. Thus, if a creditor dismisses a lawsuit against you without prejudice, they may have the right to sue you again in the future.
If a bill that's reported to debt collection never came to you first, you can file a dispute with the credit bureaus. In your dispute letter, say that you were never notified of the debt.
Yes. It is rather common for collection agencies to report a debtor to credit bureaus without notifying the debtor. When a debt becomes overdue, the creditor has several options. One of those options is to simply sell the account to a collections agency.
Specifically, the rule states that a debt collector cannot: Make more than seven calls within a seven-day period to a consumer regarding a specific debt. Call a consumer within seven days after having a telephone conversation about that debt.
Debt collectors may not be able to sue you to collect on old (time-barred) debts, but they may still try to collect on those debts. In California, there is generally a four-year limit for filing a lawsuit to collect a debt based on a written agreement.
The proper way to dispute a collection is to send a letter of dispute to a collection agency. Make sure to send it within 30 days of receiving the debt collection letter and request for proof of debt. Keep a copy of the letter and any correspondence. Seek legal help if needed.
