Hi there! I've been lurking but I keep getting conflicting information /: 

 

I'm also fairly young (21) so I think a lot of it is flying over my head. 

 

I found this on creditkarma today, and it shows up on all three of my CRs as of today:

I opened a dispute with Transunion already under

"I don't know what this is" because I'm unfamiliar with what this could be far and have received no letters or mail about it, and I wanted to open disputes with Equifax & Experian but neither site is letting me access my full CR and is asking for me to request a physical copy. I move around a lot so it's possible they're getting red flags from all my different addresses? 

Should I contact the collections agency or the original creditor for validation? I'm in NY so waiting out the SOL isn't a viable option. I could pay it but I've head paying doesn't remove it from the CR and to try and offer 20%  + deletion, but I honestly have no knowledge of why this would be on my report at all. Any guidance would be amazing!
