I have a delinquent balance of $3,460 on a Visa card. I received a letter from the Credit Union stating that under a new IRS regulation, they are required to send a 1099-C to the IRS if no payment has been received within the past 36 months. This would mean I would have to pay income tax on the amount listed. Is this information true? Would I have to pay the IRS?

For the past 2 or 3 years, I have received a 1099-misc form for income from board work in a micro-cap, employee-owned company, paid in illiquid penny-stock shares that cannot be sold due to the company's financial difficulties. Is there any mechanism to defer declaring this income, such as marking the year-end value of the stock to zero due to its illiquidity, even though it theoretically has value?
