Call first of course, but send them by certified mail, a copy of your payoff info and request they correct their records and acknowlege doing so by sending an Amended 1099C, (it may actually have a form number like 1099C-AMD). They aren't going to like doing so, because making amended filings for them is always a time consuming and expensive process, but they would have to. If they respond with any reasons they believe the 1099C you received is required, you can deal with that. If they don't respond or send the amended, the documentation you have should become part of your tax records and would appear to be sufficent to show your acting properly in not reporting the income.

How do you dispute a chargeoff account that the creditor refused to validate?

Technically this should be very easy. Write a letter to the (3) credit reporting agencies stateing that this information is/may not be accurate. They will then request that the creditor verify the information. If the creditor does not respond in 30 days then the entry should be removed. That's the way the law is written, though some credit agencies will give more time to the creditors before removing.

What reflects better on your credit report a zero balance on your credit card or buying something once a month and paying it off?

Buying something and paying it off. It shows the creditor that you are responsible and not a credit risk. Be aware though, you will be flooded with competing credit card company offers.


How long do you have to pay a charge off?

Charge offs' are when a creditor writes off a debt as a loss which usually take place 180 days after the initial missed payment or delinquency. Being as though the debt is still owed, the original creditor sells your debt for pennies on the dollar to a collection agency who tries to enforce collection of that debt which they now own or have been assigned. So to answer your question it can be paid anytime but, after the debt has been charged off you can now negotiate for a settlement of of lessor value than it originally was.


How do you remove a paid collection from your credit report if you paid even though disputed and did not agree with it and provided proof to original creditor who still sent you to a collection agency?

Don't let a collection agency push you around. As a consumer you have many rights. The best places for anyone to exercise their rights are in small claims courts. For less than $100 you can bring a collection agency to their knees.
