Can a creditor collect after issuing a 1099-C?
Sometimes, even when debt has been forgiven, the lender may not have reported it to the credit-reporting bureaus. The debt may have even been sold to a debt collector. If this happens the creditor may have no legal right to collect once the debt has been forgiven and a Schedule 1099-C issued.
CAN 1099-C be reversed?
