Can you pay a debt to the original company once it has gone to collection?

The only person that can accept payment once an account has been charged off is the purchasing agent. When a collection agency purchases your debt, they purchase all legal rights to it, including any payments made towards the account. If you were to pay the original creditor after a chargeoff, they are required to forward that payment to the purchasing agency and this can be a rather lengthy process. Understand that many debts that go to collections are interest bearing and the longer a payment takes to get to the correct party, the more you may be paying in the end.

How do you find the company that is holding the debt from someone that has gone into recievership?
You will need to begin by contacting the company in where the debt originated from. They can tell you if they are still holding the debt collection or if it has been released to another company.
If a collection account was sold to another collection agency is it correct that they should both show up on your credit report as late payments?
When a collection agency sells your debt they no longer have any claim to your debt. It's like selling a car, once it is gone it is gone.
If an original card account has gone on to multiple collection agencies do you include all or the most recent one in Ch 7 bankruptcy and what if you dont know all of them?
Include everyone you know of and just make sure to keep the paper work ready for anyone in the future that tried to collect it. If the debt was not sold by the original card company then you should not have much of a problem in the future; if it was sold it can be a pain as it may jump around to a handful of other debt buying agents before someone does their job and deletes it.
A collection that is removed from your credit report be gone off the report but the collection agency said you still owe on account?
Well, check your states statute of limitations. If the SOL is up then tell the company to stop contacting you are you will sue them for harassment based on the fact that they have no claim under your state's SOL. The collection agency will try to say you still "owe" and I guess you do if it is your debt but you no longer have any legal obligation to pay.

No. The damage was done as soon as the debt was defaulted on. It is common to have accounts taken over by various ca's.

If by 'gone' you mean the agreement is missing than it may be deemed unenforceable and the debt can be cancelled by a court. This only applies in the UK as far as I am aware though.
