    Dismissed without prejudice
    I was suited in one county for a credit card balance. I went to court and the attorneys didn't have all of the paperwork I requested to see as evidence. It was later dismissed without prejudice. About a 2 years later the same attorneys are suing me again in a different county for the same credit card balance. The company is Midland funding. I have received a request for disclosure which I need to return within 28 days I will also request the same from them. What are my options to win this case? I don't have any information on this credit card account. Can they continue to sue me in different courts and counties for the same occurrence?

    All I know is that when something is "dismissed without prejudice" it generally means that the dismissal will not, in and of itself, stand as a bar to the same suit in the future. Usually, an action that ends that way is treated as if it never happened. (a nullity)

    There may be other defenses, though, such as jurisdiction, statutes of limitations, unequitable delay and so forth.

    You should contact a lawyer.
