What does this 1099-C cancellation of debt mean for Discover charge-offs?
Discover frequently issue a 1099-C cancellation of debts for credit cards, installment loans and student loans that it can’t collect in. Once you stop making payments on a debt, within 180 days the account is goes to charge-off status. Charge-off does not mean the debt is cancelled. However, some of these charge-offs get discharged through a 1099-C, and only then is the debt not owed
Discover Bank has the right to issue a 1099-c for a debt that you haven’t paid or made a settlement which didn’t pay off the entire amount.
Do you still owe Discover the debt after a 1099-C is issued or does it mean debt is forgiven ?
No. You do not owe the debt is a 1099-C is issued. The 1099-c signals to the IRS that the creditor has forgiven your debt. However, you will find creditors violating the law and still trying to collect or report a balance on your credit report even after a 1099c is issued. This is not allowed and a violation of your rights.
What are you required to do after receiving 1099-C
Once a creditor issues you a 1099-C , it means they’ve reported it as a loss, and you may be required to report it as income on your personal taxes. you should consult with your tax professional to discuss this.
1099-C credit report and credit reporting requirements
If a 1099c is issued, the creditor is required to report the account with a ZERO balance. So do check your credit report to see if the lender has changed the outstanding balance to $0.
If they have not done that, then you may be entitled to monetary damages.

Yes all of the above applies. I was rushed by ambulance on last Thursday my blood pressure was 212 and the Dr stated that the high blood pressure was due to stress and I said you are right. I’m so stressed over this Discover account. A $500 card they charged off $835, written off $835, 1099C $835, and past due $835. I know they are in violation but they aren’t threatened because I don’t have legal counsel. They keep ignoring and updating my disputes. I even filed the 1099C after asking Jackson Hewitt what it was for they told me taxable income to me and so I filed it even though I didn’t understand it. I want your help.
I forgot to mention the Dr prescribed blood pressure medication now. I picked them up from Publix and I’ve been on that medication for stress and anxiety he calls it, for approximately 5 or 6 days now.
