The appearance would depend upon whether or not a lawsuit was filed and granted.
The original credit card account should appear on your credit, its' delinquent status, history, Date of Last Activity (DLA), zero balance and some indication of sold or transferred.
The collection agency account will comprise a 2nd listing, referencing back to the original account and contain the current balance, the DLA (which should NOT have changed), and the dates the track when the account came to be in their possession.
If a suit is filed and judgment is granted against you; that would comprise a third listing of this account on your credit report. This would appear in the public records portion of your credit and have the starting date of when the judgment was filed. It has its' own length of time for reporting purposes and would need a legal disposition (a satisfaction of judgment) in order for it be closed.
Once a judgment is granted against a consumer, creditors may then undertake any legal remedies available under (your) state's laws. These include wage garnishment, freezing of bank accounts and attaching liens to real property.
