    Default Can You Be Sued More than Once Over the Same Debt

    If you are sued by a collection agency over credit card debt and win, can another collection agency or the same creditor sue you again over the same debt?

    Default Re: Can You Be Sued More than Once Over the Same Debt

    If you are sued by or on behalf of the same creditor for the same debt and prevail on the merits, you can use a verdict in your favor from a prior lawsuit to obtain a dismissal of the new lawsuit. A new suit would only be possible if the original suit were dismissed without prejudice.
