Can the bill collector who bought the bad credit card charge interest over the interest that has already accumulated before?

If they actually bought the debt they shouldn't be able to charge any additional interest on it since you did not sign a contract with them allowing them to do so. Please keep in mind that not all collection agencies buy debt. Some are still collecting on behalf of the original creditor which means interest and fees could continue to accrue.
