1099C received will i have to repay debt to collector? HELP,

Submitted by conciouschoice on Fri, 02/12/2010 - 19:23

Hello,

I have received a 1099C from my Debitor stating that the debt has been cancelled and I have to declare this to the IRS.

The collection agency is telling me that I still have to pay them the full amount even thought the original debitor gave me a 1099c cancellation of debt.

Can anyone please help me? thanks so much!!!

I'm not exactly sure but if the original debtor has sent you a cancellation of debt then the debt is now canceled. I would try sending the collection agency a copy of it and see if that doesn't make them change their mind. Also I would send a debt validation letter and ask them to validate the debt they are trying to collect on. Most collection agencies can not do that. Also there should be others on here that can also help you in handling this. So just hang in there

Hi Conciouschoice,

If you have received a 1099C from debitor, you need to declare to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), that you are not required to pay the tax, because you were insolvent or bankrupt (whichever applies) at the time of charge off of the debt. You can do this either with the IRS form 982 or by attaching the information regarding your debts and assets.

As far as I know, nowhere in the instructions given by the IRS, is it mentioned that the collection process cannot continue after cancellation of debt under 1099C.

Still you can check into the details of the information given by IRS.

it depends on how the debt was satisfied. it sounds like this may be a 1099 for an account that was settled on...?

If a debt is settled on the amount saved is then considered taxable income for the following year - anything over $500.

if its a debt that was settled on and theyre asking for the taxes on the amount saved the 1099 form is legit.

See if this is ur case and get bk to me pls , happy to help

My mother in law got one of these forms from a house she let go. The bank sold the home and then sent her a form to take in when she had her taxes done. Apparently she had to pay taxes on the difference between what the bank sold the house for and what was left over was taxable. She did however get out of it because of her spouse dying. I guess if it is due to this then you are not responsible.

Once you receive a 1099c they CANNOT collect on the debt after that. Some of the rip off collection agencies will lie to you though. Say you owe 5000 and they were adding interest and fees and the debt was charged off. They will try to claim that you still owe that interest even though legally you do not. The 1099c also has a block for interest so if its not on the 1099c they know they were not legally entitled to it. Send a copy of the 1099c along with a letter to the collection agency stating that you have claimed this as income and they are not to contact you anymore. Debt cancellation is considered a gift. Basically they are claiming that they gave you the money and after that you owe nothing. Do not listen to people trying to claim they can still collect on the debt. I have checked with my tax person and attorney on the matter. Your credit reports also will have to be updated to show a 0 balance and in some cases it can be removed.

Hello, I too have received a 1099c for cancellation of debt on a vehicle and had to pay the IRS almost 900.00 dollars . I spoke with the IRS and an attorney. Both agreed that they can not collect on a debt that has been cancelled . However, they will not release my title to me. The collection department told me the only way I will receive my title is if I also pay them a settlement amount on top of paying the IRS. This in no way can be right ! How can a company write off a debt on taxes but still collect money? This seems wrong to me !

I received a 1099-c back in 2009 for a voluntary repo I did. I declared it on my 2009 taxes, but now the credit company who I have been working with to consolidate my debt is telling me it's better to settle. My credit is hurt anyway, should I or do I have to pay?

I received a 1099C Schedule from my auto lender. Since I have to pay taxes on this, can I get the title to this vehicle from the lender?

We did a short sale on a house and the made us sign a non-secure promissary note of $30,000, we told them we could not pay it and basically the realtor told us we would be able to negotiate a lower amount when it actually came to paying it. We were stupid and believe him.Well now we are getting letters from a debt collecting attorney the latest one says that they we can be 1099C'd, well if this is for forgiven debt, what does this have to do with us not being able to pay the $30,000? We did short-sale and when we pd our taxes this year our tax advisor had us collect all of the debt on the rental property and we were insolvent , on the property.

I retired 1/1/2013, and received a 1099c, as my income is very limited. What are my options, as I can not afford to pay taxes on this?

I received a 1099c, but I still have the vehicle. What should I do with the vehicle because I will be filing IRS form 982 (Insolvent). If I return the vehicle to the lender, can the lender turn around and put it back on my credit report. What should I do because technically the lender still owns the vehicle?

Happy New Year my name is Alexis from Texas I live in NY. I’m a divorced mom of 2 kids with a substantial income. We were going to lose our home because I didn’t have the credit score to purchase it. I had already worked with a hacker that almost wrecked my account with zero result. He also introduced one of his friends who tried to help but couldn’t because of the new security on the credit bureaus, they were unsuccessful but if I paid $1500 more, they would send me a cloned Credit Card and it is nothing but another big mess. I continued making more research on whom to help me with my credit until I read some reviews from people talking about Ghost Virus and how he help people who have alarming poor credit. I texted on +1 (205) 418 0498) and emailed Ghostvirus7890@gmail.com asking if everything I heard and read were legit that I am interested in his service ASAP. I got a responds and further explained the process. We moved on and Ghost actually did all he said he would do within 8 business days and now I’m happy sitting on an average high credit score of 790 across the 3 major credit bureaus with no negative items on it. You can connect with Ghost for a Credit Repair assistant.

My credit was horrible. I had almost everything on there from repossessions, tax liens, evictions and some few others. I just wanted to be able to live somewhere decent and that was impossibility for me at the time due to my low credit profile. I got to know about a credit repair hacker from my course mate back then in college who I am so grateful to. I would not have met this amazing hacker if he had not told me of his quality service. Since I met him my credit report is worth being happy about. He is legit, and I recommend him. Contact: TheCreditWizard@Writeme.Com.

I never believed a hacker can fix my credit (delete negative items such as debts, IRS and Liens etc.) and also boost my credit score until I came in contact with DEBOOTH CREDIT SOLUTION. To cut long story short, a colleague of mine told me about them and their expertise and how they helped fix his credit. I emailed them via DEBOOTHCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM and explained my credit issues to them. To my greatest surprise, my credit score was upgraded from 480s to 786, and the negatives in my profile all wiped. I advise anyone with credit issues to contact him cos there’s nothing as having good credit. Text: (562) 281-7621. Trust me you’ll never regret it…

Everything I read about DEBOOTH CREDIT SOLUTION on trulia, credit magic and Google are true. I believe they are just out to help people with credit issues be it minor or major. I don’t know who you are consulting right now, even if you have consulted someone already for your credit repair I strongly advise you contact DEbooth credit solution if you want desired results. It took DEbooth and his team approximately 14 working days to fix my credit. My fico score was increased by 100 points within the first week and later increased by 100 points on the second week, isn’t that incredible? My score was initially 602, and was increased to 802 across the three credit bureaus and my negative reports were cleared. I’m so happy and I conclude with this assertion that “DEBOOTH CREDIT SOLUTION is the best”. You can as well reach them today via DEBOOTHCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM and text: (562) 281-7621 to confirm this.

Hey I am James Harris from Norway. My Christmas will be incomplete without celebrating XAP and his entire team. About this time last year, I wanted a beautiful home for my family, a car and also start up a good business but I was denied all of this as a result of my poor credit. I was never qualified for anything until I contacted XAP Credit Solution around October through a colleague. He helped me raise my score to 784, cleared all the negative information on my credit profile replacing them with good tradelines within few days. Though I doubted him at first, he eventually got the job done. Now my credit report is up to speed and I’m qualified for everything. I recommend him for he is reliable, discreet and trust worthy. Contact XAP on XAPCREDITSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM and/or +1 (972) 597 9704. Merry Christmas!
