Yes. A 1099C is confirmation from the creditor or lender that the debt has been cancelled and collection efforts have ended. The bad news is, the amount shown on the 1099C is considered taxable income and must be claimed on your federal tax return.

The debt is then considered income and must be reported on the debtor's tax return as such.

I filed a 1099c for debt and the account was sold to a new creditor do I have to pay?

You mean you received a 1099C right...you had (cancellation of debt)income because you had a bankruptcy or failed to pay what the persdon issuing it to you had loaned you. In any case, no matter what the circumstances, the facts haven't changed....just the name of who you owe that debt to. That doesn't change anything about your accounting, taxability or reporting obligation.

Your debt has been written off should you pay it?

"Write offs" sometimes called "charge offs" do not mean a debt is no longer valid and collectible. The term is used to allow the creditor to remove the account from normal prescribed collection action and tax procedures. "Write offs' generally indicate the defaulted account has been sent to or purchased by a collector who will continue collection action and may pursue a lawsuit to recover monies owed. A 1099C IRS form will be sent to the debtor when a debt is cancelled and collection will no longer be pursued. The total amount of the debt is taxable and the debtor is required to claim it as income on his tax return.
