They can only legally issue a 1099c if they sue you and you use SOL as a defense to get the case dismissed. If they issue you one on an unvalidated debt you can dispute it with the IRS. I am quite certain the IRS would take a dim view of a company using them to make money or strongarm a payment out of you.
Your best bet is to send a debt validation letter. With old debts it is highly likely that the JDB only has minimal information and no documentation to prove the debt actually exists or that you owe it.
