A 1099c can only be issued if the debt is forgiven. Believe this is an admission the debt is forgiven and cannot be collected.
Go to irs.gov and search 1099c. I am using my iPhone and cannot directly send you there, but you will see you may NOT use a 1099c unless the debt is cancelled .

I researched this issue a few years back from the standpoint of when the 1099-C should be issued, but have not reviewed it since. IRS position from my interpretation was that the 1099-C should not be issued unless the creditor believed the debt was completely uncollectable and not before then. That said I am not aware of any statute holding issuance of the 1099-C acts to prohibit the creditor from seeking to collect the debt, although if debtor had to pay tax on the discharged income and the lender took the loss as a tax deduction, I would raise estoppel as a defense in any action filed. I wonder if the FDCPA addresses this issue? At the very least the creditor continuing to attempt collection is a basis to challenge the 1099-C by the debtor as the creditor clearly does not believe the debt is uncollectable. If the debt later is collected from the debtor in full or part then the 1099-C would need to be amended. The creditor should be able have

Thanks, but it is not exactly my question. I know that there is COD income tax liability. My question is whether, after issuing a 1099-C, the lender can still attempt to collect the debt. Is the lender somehow precluded from attempting to collect the debt after it issues a 1099-C?

By issuing a 1099-C the bank is saying that some event happened that
reduced the debtor's
contractual obligation, where the bank agreed to accept less. Ask the
bank Why.

Let me go back in time, to when I had a desk in the Office of Chief Counsel
of the IRS . . .
I see this case coming to my desk when the IRS issues a notice of deficiency
against Joe Taxpayer for failure to report his $100,000 of COD income, which
our agent found when the computers matched up the 1099-COD and the return.
Joe sues the IRS in Tax Court, saying I didnt get this income because the
creditor is still hounding me for it. Ill call Joe up and ask him what
his evidence is that the debt isnt written off; if its good evidence, then
Im referring the creditor to audit because its issuing fraudulent 1099s.
The creditor is issuing the 1099 so that it can get a bad debt writeoff, and
thus a deduction from income tax. If its taking the deduction and still
pursuing the debt, its defrauding the government and honest taxpayers. I
think I could get a bunch of government employees excited about this one.
I also think that estoppel works well in this situation without dragging the
IRS into it. The 1099 is a document with legal effect that binds the issuer
against the government and against the issuee. You cant write off a debt,
announce it to the government and the borrower, and then seek to collect it.

NCLC FDCPA manual, at 1.5.12 has discussion on the significance of the
issuance of a 1099 C as to cancellation of the liability. There seems to be
no clear guidance. Some cases are bk cases, some are state courts of
appeal, including at least one CA case and a few fed district court cases.
See also 26 cfr 1.6050P-1 explaining some of the reasons other than debt

This has got great article written all over it - 800 words. I had a client recently who got a 1099-C and believed that he no longer had to pay the debt. Luckily the bank saw its mistake and rescinded the 1099-C but I wondered about the efect myself. Does announcing you have written off the debt somehow prevent the collection?

Ah, I was way off. Well assuming there was a foreclosure I provide an equally well intentioned but probably doubly confused second try:
CCP Section 726, commonly known as the "one-action rule," restricts the remedies available to lenders. CCP Section 726(a) provides that, "There can be but one form of action for the recovery of any debt or the enforcement of any right secured by a mortgage upon real property" Moreover, CCP Section 726 requires the lender to first look to the sale of the collateral security for satisfaction of its debt and prevents the lender from bringing more than one action against the debtor. Therefore, if the creditor prevails on its lawsuit for foreclosure, the court will direct the sale of the encumbered property and the application of the proceeds to payment of the creditor's costs and indebtedness. If the proceeds from the sale fail to satisfy the costs of the foreclosure and indebtedness, the creditor can apply within three months following the sale for a deficiency judgment. Upon such application, and establishment of a deficiency, the court will render a money judgment against the debtor for the amount of the deficiency. See CCP Section 580a.
Other instances not involving foreclosure are at:

Hello David:
What is the taxpayers tax bracket? If its the 35% bracket, the borrower
will need to pay the IRS $35,000 to satisfy that obligation. Why? Because
the 1099-COD is income, under 26 USC 108, unless the taxpayer can prove the
benefit of one of the loopholes.
I suspect you know this, and youre asking the meta-question: Why, given
that the lender cant prosecute a deficiency judgment in California, and
thus the borrower owes nothing after the foreclosure?
(Questions which may become relevant: is the debt recourse debt? Is the
property a principal residence?)
Because the individual owed $500,000 the moment before the foreclosure, and
after the foreclosure he owed nothing, and thus got a windfall of debt
cancellation; but he gave up an asset that turned out to be worth $400,000,
so it was a trade (if involuntary) of one asset for the cancellation of debt
worth more. The taxpayer is better off after the foreclosure than before.- John D. Faucher
