1. Demand Debt Validation (FDCPA §809)
Within 30 days of first contact, send Lacy Katzen LLP a written debt-validation letter. They must prove the debt is yours, the amount is right, and they have the legal authority to collect — or stop collecting.

3. Log the Calls
Write down every call from 585-454-5650: date, time, and what was said. Repeated calls, calls at odd hours, or threats can be FDCPA violations — and leverage for you.
