Can they legally keep selling your old debt to other collection agencies to keep the debt active?

YES, but your question is not well thought-out. There may be statutes of limitation in your state of residence when you incurred the debt, regarding a particular type/category of debt -- you would have to check further along that line. If the debt is not of a category having statutes of limitations, then the creditors can continue collection effort or resell the debt to a collection agency (that can then continue the collection effort) pretty much until they decide to quit spending time and resources on the effort. Even your death won't prohibit creditors from pursuing your estate. This is a primary reason for the existence of personal bankruptcy -- to legally terminate some or all debt that you are not capable of paying.
