Hear this out loud PauseI respectfully request that you forgive my alleged debt, as my condition precludes any employment, and my current and future income does not support any debt repayment. Please respond to my request in writing to the address below at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance for your understanding of my situation.
Hear this out loud PauseEven if you can exclude a forgiven debt from your taxable income, you may still get a 1099-C form. If this happens, you'll use Form 982 to report the amount to exclude from your gross income based on your circumstances. Once you know how much canceled debt to include as income, you will put that amount on Form 1040.
Hear this out loud PauseIf you receive a 1099-C, you may have to report the amount shown as taxable income on your income tax return. Because it's considered income, the canceled debt has tax consequences and may lower any tax refund you are due.
Hear this out loud PauseUnfortunately, you're still obligated to pay a debt even if the original creditor sells it to a collection agency. As long as you legally consented to repay your loan in the first place, it doesn't matter who owns it. You may be able to pay less than you actually owe, though.
Summary: You can pay off a debt to the original creditor if they haven't sold the account to a debt collection agency yet. There is a chance the debt may have been transferred to collections, but that doesn't mean it's too late to reach out to your creditor and settle the debt once and for all.
