Double Reporting Question

I have a charge off on my credit reports from a Perkins loan that I thought was paid off when I consolidated my student loans.  My school is reporting the charge off on my credit report.  They referred the account to a collection agency and they are reporting a collection account on my credit report also.  My question, "Is this legal" and "What should I do about it?"

Re: Double Reporting Question

Try contacting them and making arrangements to pay them direct. They will be able to pull the account back from the CA.
