1099 c income after death

My father died in sept of 15 . I did not file a final tax return because his income was low enough that it was not required.

I received a 1099c today dated dec of 16 for 21000 on a credit card he did not pay . He did not have assets to speak of except a life ins policy left to me for 20000

Do I need to file a tax return for this 21000 and am I liable ?
