What is the chance of receiving a 1099-C from creditors? I recently signed up with Debt Settlement company. I don't want to owe federal taxes to the IRS. I do have a mortgage on my home along with other bills. Not sure if I am doing the right thing or should I contact the creditors on my own and try to work it out that way. I was with a CCC but I was having a hard time making the $415/mo. payment. Any advice?


My advice is to handle debt settlement yourself and save money. You will retain control of your accounts and keep up-to-date on what's transpiring with your accounts. There are numerous debt settlement companies that are not too reliable. Many of us on here handled our own and got better settlement percentages.

I settled 100k in credit card debt myself and I received 3-- 1099's totaling 43k. I will recieve another one next year as that one I just finished paying March 2011.

I am sure I am insolvent since I have 3 mortgages and am upside down on all but one. But filling out the form is proving difficult. Well, the 982 is not hard and I have it but the insolvency thing is over my head and my accountant does not know either.

Anyone want to help me on or off forum? It would be so appreciated. I tried to post all the numbers yesterday but for some reason it is not posted here, not sure why?

Kaylee-

The IRS form comes with explicit instructions. From what I have read from you on here, you can do it girl. Google it up too. You will see how others did it. It should not be causing you that much grief. It should be a math problem with you plugging in the numbers here and there. Good Luck.

Greetings "[URL="http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/member.php?u=246558"]jbare[/URL]",

In response to your original question of "What is the chance of receiving a 1099-C from creditors?".

In my case, it was 100%.
Got all of the 1099's from my settlement actions.
They did not forget.:shock:
