POSTED: Friday, April 08, 2011When a junk debt buyer purchases the debt they may file a 1099C if they forgive the debt BUT the AMOUNT on the 1099C MUST BE THE AMOUNT THEY PAID TO PURCHASE THE DEBT (in other words: their ACTUAL LOSS), NOT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEBT THEY PURCHASED.
Simplified example: You owe Creditor A $10,000. Creditor A sells your debt to partially offset their losses (this is a common business practice.) JDB purchases your debt from Creditor A for $500. JDB can file a 1099C for the $500 they paid to purchase the debt. They CANNOT lawfully file a 1099C for $10,000. If the do, they are violating IRS regulations. There are exceptions, such as mortgages and such, and the IRS can explain to you what the exceptions are.
You can check with the IRS or an attorney.
Good luck.
