I just received a letter from a Columbus law firm representing a NJ debt collector. Who do I validate the debt with? OH or NJ?

The letter states that no one with the law firm in OH has even reviewed the file.

The law firm you received a letter from might not really be a law firm and you should be very careful whom you give your information to over the phone or through the mail.
