It depends.  From this specific situation there is no canceled debt income to report.  However, if you have a 1099-C that reports canceled debt for any other reason, you will need to report it.  However, a letter in lieu suggests you did not receive a 1099-C, and therefore you have no canceled debt that would be income.
