I have a debt of $1,600 from a auto loan that i took in 2003, I didn't make a payment on the account for several years. I recently received a 1099c from the bank that gave me the loan, but i've been contacted by a collection agency that doesn't own the debt but is collecting on behalf of the bank. I have talked to the bank and they will not report it as "paid in full" if i settle with them. What is my best option? Wait for the statute of limitations? Pay the full amount owed, or agree on a settlement? Does a 1099c take away the banks right to collect?
