What is the name of your state? California
My case was dismissed without prejudice in Nov. 2004. Even so, the Plaintiff continued to authorize the CA to file an unpaid collection account on all 3 credit bureaus. Plaintiff, Howard's Appliance, states that since they reserve the right to refile the case it is still a valid debt in their view. I have written to them numerous times, phone calls, etc. asking if they intended to refile? Never an answer. How can I get this case heard? I want to prove to the court that I do not owe this debt. Dismissal was handed due to Plaintiff not present.
Doesn't a case need a judgment in order to proceed with collection and credit derogatory actions taken first?
Any advise?? Frustrated in Socal with ex-perfect credit rating.
