Is Platinum Recovery Solutions, Inc calling you? Here’s what you need to know.
Falling behind on your bills and owing increasing amounts of money is a stressful situation to be in, especially if you are dealing with rude and unethical debt collectors. The good news is that no matter how much money you may owe, you still have rights.
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA, was passed in 1977 after predatory debt collectors were accused of contributing to a rise in personal bankruptcies and similar financial crises.
Consumer Rights Protected by the FDCPA
Under the FDCPA, debt collectors may not use methods like the following when collecting or attempting to collect a debt.
![]()
- Swearing and using profane language
- Calling you outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. your time
- Calling you at work after you’ve told them that your boss doesn’t allow such calls
- Making threats they cannot legally carry out or have no intention of carrying out
- Demanding amounts that exceed the original debt
- Discussing the debt with anyone except you, your spouse, and your attorney
Collection methods like these are against the law, but remain prevalent because not enough consumers report infringements to the Federal Trade Commission or file lawsuits in response.

The phone numbers for Platinum Recovery Solutions, Inc are 1-866-302-1102 and 1-402-633-7996. If you see a call come in from either number, it means that a debt collector is attempting to contact you.
