There are not laws that pertain to how long a debt is collectible or how long collection action can be taken. There are statute of limitations regarding the length of time a lawsuit can be filed against the debtor for the recovery of monies owed. States establish laws regulating SOL's and their application to different types of debts.
Recall of a debt by a creditor is when the original creditor asks for the debt to be returned to them after they have sold it, often to a collection agency. This may occur if the debt has not been collected for a certain amount of time, and the debt will be sold to another agency to collect, or if the debtor offers the original creditor a settlement.
The term "written off" does not mean the debt has been cancelled/forgiven. The term indicates that the original creditor will no longer continue to collect the debt in the usual manner. The debtor will receive a notice from the original creditor of whatever further action will be taken with the account.

Generally a Creditor will wait 180 days from the date of the last payment before passing the account to a Collection Agency

More than likely. Three years is not long enough for an SOL to expire. What probably happened was, the account was bought from the creditor, which is common practice. The BK of the original creditor, has no relevancy if the debt was sold.
If the debt was sold to a collection agency and the original creditor accepted payment AFTER the debt was sold, the money does not belong to them. If, however, you paid the debt and it was mistakingly sol after that payment, the collection agency can't try to collect. If you have proof of payment, forward it to the collection agency and deman in writing that they cease trying to collect this debt.
OSI Collection Service is a "Third Party" Collection agency. Collection agencies buy your information from the original creditor in order to collect on a debt. What this means is that they make money if you pay anything on this debt, not only from the original creditor, but a commission on the payment that you make on that debt.
