Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
Civil Action Withdrawn
I recently went to--name removed--hearing for past credit card debt. The attorney for the plaintiff took me aside and asked me questions. I told him that the statute of limitations on the card had passed. He made--name removed--phone call and withdrew the complaint. What happens now?

Re: Civil Action Withdrawn
You asked what happens when a civil complaint seeking old credit card debt is withdrawn.
Nothing happens. The case no longer exists. Make certain to keep the paperwork. You should have gotten or will get a notice of the withdrawal. If this matter shows up on your credit report you can use the paperwork to help have it removed if applicable.
Congratulations. I am always happy to see a consumer prevail over credit card companies.

Re: Civil Action Withdrawn
What happens? Nothing. Case is withdrawn. Done. Finito.
Of course, if they find that it is still within the statute of limitations, they can refile it, but if it was so clear that it wasn't that the attorney withdrew it, it's unlikely that will happen.
Good work.
