Yes, both accounts can show on your credit report and this is typical.

The first listing should show the history while the account was with the original creditor, including the charged off notation, a zero balance and some statement indicating that it was sold or transferred.

The second listing should show the dates relating to that purchase or transfer and the current balance.

The date of last activity should remain consistant on both accounts. This is the date you last paid on the account immediately prior to it becoming delinquent. This date triggers the (7 year plus 180 days) countdown for how long both listings are supposed to show on your credit report.

If you get sued over this debt and a judgment is granted against you, that would constitute a third listing of this same account. A judgment would be in the "public records" portion of your credit report. It would have its' own beginning date and 7 year reporting time period.

What does it mean when a company writes off a loan and sells your account to some other company?

When a company writes off your loan, from an income and accounting standpoint, they are saying that your loan will not be paid. When this occurs, they will send a transaction line to one or more credit bureaus indicating that they had to charge off your account as a result of non-payment. When your account is sold to another company, the current organization either believes that they have gotten the most value out of the account or does not believe that it is cost effective to waste any more money working on the account. Either way, companies sell loans to other companies all the time. When an account is sold off AFTER being charged off, the buyer is usually a distressed debt (collections) organization that specializes in the collection of that type of debt. Usually these buyers pay very little for the loan because the likelihood of collection is quite low.
