Collection account and charged off account for same debt in credit report

Dear Experian, If an account is "charged off" and sold to collection agency, how can both accounts be used against you? My credit report shows two negative accounts. I owed $1,900, but now one account shows the original amount owed and a separate account shows $2,300 owed to a collection agency. Will both accounts stay on my report for seven years? The original account was four years ago, but the collection is only three months old. - VNW[ READ MORE ]
