Recovering Attorney Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 If a creditor forgives $600+ of a loan, and he wants to write it off as bed debt, he issues you a 1099 form, which means he has told the IRS he forgave that amount. Becasue the 1099 gets issued, you must report it as income on your tax return. Go to irs.gov and search forgiven debts and you'll see more info.The CA cannnot garnish your wages without a judgment. And the OC can issue a 1099, but only if you settle. This guy is harassing you. Get an account at tel-biz.com, call him, and tape the conversation. Ask him what he meant. Hopefully, he'll make a boo-boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
