Collection accounts


I had an old account that was charged off in 07/04 by a utility company. This company did not send this account to a collection company. They was acquired by another company in 2005. This company sent the debt to collections in 11/2005. I was told that this was a new debt to their company. I asked her how is this a new debt when they acquired the company and did a name change. I did not open a new account and this is not a new account. Is it legal for a company to report to the credit bureau and make the debt look as if it is a new debt when they acquire the company?
