Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Re: Can an agency still collect on this debt?

The collection agency can still attempt to collect on the account. You can challenge the report in your credit report with the credit agency and presumable use the same argument that got your case dismissed, if not on a technicality.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

Re: Can an agency still collect on this debt?

A dismissal without prejudice usually means the case can be refiled against you.

A debt can be reported on your history for up to 7 years, so if it is not that old, it will remain.
