If you earn above a threshold (9 or 10K I think) you have to file. But if you're 16 you're almost certainly doing a 1040EZ which is not remotely hard to do. ...

It depends.
Most likely, the $15K figure came partially out of their ass. I say partially because what they probably did was take the past due APR and applied it retroactively even though BOA charged it off.
