Car Repossession Legal Options

Summary

The statute of limitations for debt collection in Oklahoma is typically 5 years. If the car was included in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy by the primary owner, you may have some protection. Coercion into co-signing could be grounds for disputing the obligation. In legal terms, prejudice refers to harm affecting rights. A case dismissed with prejudice cannot be refiled, while without prejudice allows for refiling. Consider disputing the debt or contacting the creditor for resolution.

What does prejudice mean
In a legal context, "prejudice" usually refers to a detriment or harm that affects someone's rights or claims. When a case or claim is dismissed "with prejudice," it means it is dismissed permanently, and the same claim cannot be brought to court again. If it is dismissed "without prejudice," it means the claim can be refiled in the future.
Have you received any communication indicating whether the case was dismissed with or without prejudice?
