I read an article about this and it pondered how the collection agencies were reporting this to IRS. They buy these debts pennies on the dollar, but yet they are issuing a 1099 for the whole amount owed, so then it looks as if they lost more more than what they ever paid for the debt themselves.

Yes if they forgive the debt then the debt is gone. It has been a few weeks and I havent heard back from them.
