Complaint narrative:
I have the following account on my credit report that are documented as charged offs : Capital One. I have contacted Capital One directly on numerous occasions, dated back to XXXX with no resolution to date. The most recent contact was XX/XX/XXXX. Each year I have been trying to get a copy of my 1099c since all three companies have stated that each account has been charged off/written with refusal to send me the appropriate information. This information has impacted my credit report and has been misleading to lenders and creditors. Listed below is a generic letter letter that I have submitted to all 3 creditors with no response : To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the current status of the above-referenced credit card account and to request the issuance of IRS Form 1099-C for the cancellation of debt associated with this account. This account was reported as charged off by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I believe it qualifies for cancellation of debt reporting under the applicable Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) and IRS regulations. Account Holder Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Type : Individual Credit Card Date Opened : XXXX Charged-Off Amount : XXXX Credit Limit : XXXX Balance as of XXXX : Past Due Amount : XXXX  Last Payment Date : XXXX Original Charge-Off Amount : XXXX High Balance : XXXX Creditor Contact : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As stipulated in 26 U.S. Code 6050P, a creditor must file Form 1099-C when a debt is canceled or forgiven in an amount greater than { {$600.00} }. The amount of the charge-off for this account exceeds { {$600.00} }, and it remains unpaid. Under these circumstances, I believe the cancellation of debt for this account should be reported to the IRS, and a 1099-C should be issued. Additionally, 26 U.S. Code 6050P ( b ) ( 1 ) clearly mandates that any debt canceled in excess of { {$600.00} } must be reported by the creditor. The cancellation of this debt qualifies under the relevant provisions of the IRC and IRS guidelines. I request that the Form 1099-C be issued for the XXXX tax year, and that it be sent to my address on record. I also reference IRS Publication 4681, which addresses the requirements for reporting canceled debts, including credit card charge-offs. The IRS requires creditors to file Form 1099-C in cases where the debt is charged off and exceeds the { {$600.00} } threshold. If there are any exemptions or reasons why this account would not qualify for reporting under the IRC, I request that you provide written documentation and supporting case law or IRS guidelines. I expect this matter to be resolved within 30 days from the date of this letter, and I request that the completed 1099-C form be sent to my address no later than XXXX, in compliance with IRS filing deadlines. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm the status of my request in writing. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
