They are the bottom of the bottom. They will try anything and any trick to get money from you. They bought your debt for almost nothing ( example 1500.00 debt to am express, they bought it for around 50.00) Never agree to anything cach wants you to agree too. Fight them on every little detail. Make sure you show up to court of they will win. I went to court a few weeks ago and there was NO attorney present for cach so I WON!!! If it comes down to it call the origional creditor and make a payment plan with them and cuty cach llc out of the picture. NEVER LET THEM WIN!

Several Collection agencies are doing that when they cannot collect on a debt they probably only paid pennies for. This collection agency is KNOWN for filing false documents in court - so false 1099's would fall right into their illegal way of doing business. My guess this bottomfeeder bought a batch of old debt (sometimes called Zombie Debt) that is no longer legally collectable and cannot provide debt validation you had anything to do with it. Debt collectors are required by FAIR DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT to provide proof that YOU owe the debt. When they purchase debt for pennies - the necessary paperwork to validate the debt does not come with it. They LOSE and so do the false 1099 filings. www.budhibbs.com is an excellent resourse for you in helping get this issue resolved. contact them for advice..

is used to report imputed income. If you owed them money (for a loan) and didn't pay it back AND they FORGAVE the debt, a 1099 is appropriate as the forgiven debt is imputed taxable income for you. The 1099 memorializes the fact that the debt is forgiven. If you NEVER had a loan with them, or you did and you fully repaid the debt, you should contact the IRS to DISPUTE the filing of the 1099C. You are correct that a copy of the 1099C is required to be furnished to you when a debt is forgiven. The creditor is required to mail a copy to you.
