Tricky answer but you should be able to understand. If they did issue a 1099C for the debt, then they shouldn't then try to collect the balance. However, the debt maybe sold to a third party or third tiered debt organization who are generally hardcore and will ground and pound you on the phone. This shouldn't happen b\c now you will pay tax on the debt. However, like everything else in life there are always cracks and many of them. It will take 7 years from the time the last payment was made on the debt to be erased from your credit report. Don't worry about lawsuits either, although some states have a noticibly longer "statute of limitations" the only real way for them to sue you is if you are a property owner or have something to be made liquid. Hang in there.

The term "written off" does not mean the debt has been cancelled/forgiven. The term indicates that the original creditor will no longer continue to collect the debt in the usual manner. The debtor will receive a notice from the original creditor of whatever further action will be taken with the account.
