I live in Illinois.
Citibank tried to get a judgement against me a few months ago for $9302.56. I went to court as summoned. My case got called and the attorney for Citibank was not present. The judge decided to hold off on dismissing the case. She called all of the other cases. The only 2 people left in the courtroom are myself and another lady that Citibank was trying to go after. The judge called my case again and Citibank of course wasn't there. She dismissed the case. Now, 2 months later, I find out that Citibank re-opened the same case. Is this legal for them to do? Doesn't this fall under double jeopardy or something of that nature? I thought once a case was called twice it's finished. Please advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
