Consumer Narrative
I am disputing this because the creditor did not provide me with a Form 1099-C ( Cancellation of Debt ). According to IRS regulations, creditors are required to issue a 1099-C when they discharge {$600.00} or more of a debtors obligation to repay. The lack of a 1099-C suggests that the debt may not have been legally canceled, and therefore, the charge-off should not be reported on my credit report.
