Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Assistance in Obtaining IRS Form 1099-C for Charged-Off Debt To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to formally request your assistance in obtaining a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ) from [ Creditors Name ]. The company has reported a charge-off of the debt on my credit report, yet I have not received any documentation indicating that the debt has been canceled, forgiven, or otherwise settled. This lack of a 1099-C form is causing potential confusion and discrepancies in my financial and tax records. 

Details of the Account : Creditors Name : [ Mercedes Benz Financial Account Number : XXXX Original Loan/Agreement Date : XX/XX/XXXX Charge-Off Date : XX/XX/XXXX Reported Balance : {$51000.00} Reason for Request : According to IRS regulations and the Federal Credit Reporting Act, creditors are typically required to issue a 1099-C form for debts of {$600.00} or more that have been canceled or XXXX. Since this debt has been reported as a charge-off, it indicates that the creditor has either written off the debt or considers it uncollectible. As such, I believe I am entitled to receive a 1099-C form for this canceled debt to accurately report it on my federal income tax return. 

Despite several attempts to contact the creditor directly, I have not received any response or documentation. I am seeking the CFPBs assistance in ensuring that the creditor fulfills its obligation to issue the appropriate tax form, in compliance with federal regulations. 

Action Requested : I respectfully request that the CFPB assist in : Contacting Mercedes benz financial on my behalf to obtain the 1099-C form. 
Ensuring that the creditor corrects any discrepancies on my credit report if the debt has indeed been canceled. 
Providing guidance on how I may proceed if the creditor fails to comply with this request. 
I appreciate your time and attention to this matter. Please let me know if there are any additional documents or information required to support my request. 

Thank you for your assistance. 

Sincerely, BY : XXXX, XXXX XXXX FOR : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
