Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Collection agency or Creditor? who do I list on the schedule?
I am getting ready to file a Chap. 7 and have found both original creditor (ex. medical bill) and a collection agency trying to collect the same bill. Which one do I list on the proper schedules? In certain instances the original creditor is not trying to collect and only a collection agency is. I have the addresses and required info. for both parties but am confused how to proceed.

Just list them both but list one as a duplicate with an amount of $0.00 (to avoid double counting).

It is best if you list the original creditor with the collection agency as an additional contact.
