Yes. Usually the Plaintiff has to prove the charges that accompany the suit. However, if the defendant has not provided enough proof to the collector/creditor that a bill/charge is fraudulent before the suit was filed he or she will need to use the invalidness of the debt as their defense.

Can you be sued by the original creditor if they have already sold your case to a collection agency?
If they've sold your case to a collection agency, they have been "paid" for your debt with the money the collection agency gave them for your case, so, no, they can't legally sue you - as far as I know.

What information does a collection agency need from a creditor for them to legally go after you?
When your account is turned over to a collection agency all the infornmation goes with it. In other words, whatever you put on the original application for the card. Home and work #s, home address, name and address of employer, income, etc. The collection agency does just that collects (or tries to). They cannot sue you without the consent of the original creditor. If that happens, your account is referred to an attorney who specializes in collection. Lenders do not want to sue. It is time consuming and expensive and the majority of suits are uncollectable. They are almost always willing to negotiate terms you can afford. Know your rights as a consumer and stand up for them.
