A Motion for Nonsuit is what a creditor typically files to dismiss a lawsuit. The motion is usually filed “without prejudice“. This means that the Plaintiff is voluntarily giving up on their case but they reserve the right to re-file the case if they want to. Creditors may not file the lawsuit again but they often will if it is within the statute of limitations for collecting a debt. Thus, if a creditor dismisses a lawsuit against you, they may have the right to sue you again in the future.
