No. Send the collection agency proof that you paid the company and tell them to cease contacting you about the debt. While it's true that the company sold them your debt, the agency will work it out with the company.
You do not have to pay both.

what usually happen a collection agency "buys": the debt
from the company you own money too, so once that happens
techinally you cant pay the company directly ' you have to pay the collection agency instead.
(although in some cases you may be able to make
arrangement with the company in question in other words
your mil age may vary

This is just a wild guess but I would think yes. Think a company has a legal time frame to collect from you before handed over to collection agency. Then you owe them for their time as well. Once again.......just a guess
