So I had a lawsuit against me ( Collection from debt Buyer ) and after I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy the case changed to ( Dismissal with Prejudice ) can you please tell me what does that mean and is it good or no ?
Thanks
That means it is all over, kaput, done, a dead soldier, whatever. "prejudice" means the end, "without prejudice" means it is probably on the back burner.
Good Luck

If you did not use Counsel, please check that you used the proper exemption (don't know if GA uses Federal or State-check with a lawyer) so that the funds in the account are exempt and the Trustee will not take it. If you... Read more »

The property manager lied and told the judge she was not aware of a ch.7 filing and believed I only answered the motion with that because I was smart enough to know it would allow me to hold the home over. I however released... Read more »

Confirmed last year.

From what I understand, the Northern District Chapter 13 Trustees will not be seeking stimulus checks.
It may be best to freeze your credit, alert your creditors and if you know who they are, file a police report.
I wish you well.

Simply move to dismiss it and the court will likely oblige you.
