Consumer Narrative
This complaint seeks action to compel Capital One Financial Corporation to fulfill its legal obligation under Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) Section 6050P by issuing Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt for an account that it has reported as charged off. Despite my formal request on XX/XX/year>, Capital One has yet to provide this form, hindering my ability to manage my tax obligations and accurately represent this debt to relevant authorities. Description of Violation : Under IRC Section 6050P, any lender who discharges or cancels a debt over {$600.00} is required to report the cancellation as income by issuing Form 1099-C to both the debtor and the IRS. Since Capital One has classified this debt as charged off, it has effectively treated the debt as uncollectible and subject to discharge for reporting purposes. The issuance of Form 1099-C is therefore necessary to document this cancellation of debt as taxable income. Without this form, I am unable to meet my tax filing obligations accurately, nor can I fully clarify the status o f this account with relevant parties. Additionally, the absence of Form 1099-C makes it challenging for me to address this accounts reporting with credit bureaus, as the outstanding balance on a charged-off account appears inconsistent with Capital Ones classification of the debt. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I am prepared to provide any further documentation needed to assist in your investigation. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
