If the credit card company has charged off the full debt can the attorney who claims to directly represent the Credit Card Co sue the debtor?

Yes. A charge off is NOT the dismissal of the debt. It is a term used by creditors to remove the account from their books so it can be listed as a loss on their taxes. The account is then taken over by a collection agency or collection attorney who can recover the debt owed by whatever means neccessary. Which includes filing a lawsuit, being awarded a judgment, enforcing the judgment against wages, bank accounts and any non-exempt property.

If you are sued for injuries you caused in a car accident, you are not required to have an attorney represent you; you can be a fool and represent yourself and take the chance on losing everything you own if you lose the case. But, if you have car insurance, the insurance company will provide a lawyer for you. They are required to do that under the policy. Plus, the company is not going to trust you or a lawyer of your choosing to defend your case if the insurance company has to pay for the damages.
