I recently agreed to one for a credit card, and the bank did notify me that the forgiven debt will be considered income by the IRS. I will have to file taxes on this amount using form 1099C. The bank will report the zero balance to the credit agencies, my credit report will read "settled, zero balance" and the account closed. Was this a bad move on my part? -- Cindy, California Dear Cindy: Given the information I have, here is what will happen: Yes, you will be required to pay taxes, both federal and state, on the amount remaining -- just as if that was money you earned. By not repaying, it is money your bank gave to you. That is the law, and your bank must report this to the IRS. It will also be reported to all of the credit bureaus and will stay on your credit report for seven years. The word "settled" on your credit report is, in the world of credit scores, just one level above "bankruptcy" and "charge off." It's considered very negative, and this is going to sink your credit score. Plan on losing 100 points right off the bat, maybe more. If it's fewer, con- not completed this settlement, I sider yourself lucky. Remember, your credit would suggest you reconsider.

Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Ultra-marathon paddling event California's first ultramarathon paddle race, the "California 100," will churn down the Sacramento River on May 25 from Redding to Chico. Expected to compete will be nearly 100 people on more than 50 kayaks, surf skis and outrigger canoes. Race organizers predict the boats will cover the 100-mile distance in eight to 20 hours of hard paddling. "Cal 100 benefits Rivers for Change, a nonprofit that promotes conservation through source to sea educational river adventures," said Race Director Haven Liv- ingston, "Though it also will bring attention to the mighty Sacramento and its recreational qualities. California is one of the few states that can host an ultra-marathon paddle, because of this great river." With support from the California Paddle Sports Council, California 100 will include paddlers at all levels, including elite racers. The race is described by Rivers for Change as offering, "adventure, competition and relay divisions, with many paddlers of intermediate ability out for the fun of it." Paddlers are required to stop at checkpoints at Reading Island, Red Bluff and Woodson Bridge and finish at Irvine Finch State River access in Chico. Failure to check out, if quitting, could mean the paddler is charged search and rescue costs. The race passes through four counties and multiple city jurisdictions. It is a distance so formidable, that the race organizer lists, on its website, four training sessions by world-class paddlers, including world-recordholding paddler Carter Johnson, to help partici- pants prepare for the event. California 100 begins at 6 a.m. and continues to the following day at 2 a.m. After dark, bow lights and headlights are required. Registration information is found at www.cal100.eventbrite.co m. Entry fee is $200. Rivers for Change plans a Community Conservation Paddle Day on May 19 and a Memorial Day Sacramento River Cleanup on May 27. For more information, visit www.riversforchange.org.
