First Community Bank of Central Alabama on Your Credit Report
In short: First Community Bank of Central Alabama operates from Wetumpka, Alabama, as a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System. The FDIC lists it under certificate 57124, established August 28, 2001 — a charter granted during the era of interstate branching, so its records were computerised from the outset. Its 06/30/2026 call report shows $694 million in total assets across 9 reported offices. Because First Community Bank of Central Alabama lends on its own balance sheet rather than servicing another lender's paper, it is the furnisher of record on its own tradelines, which gives you a direct FCRA §623 dispute route to the bank alongside the §611 route through the three bureaus. Information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable can be disputed under the FCRA. Outcomes depend on what the furnisher can verify, and results vary.

How First Community Bank of Central Alabama appears on your credit report
Handling a First Community Bank of Central Alabama entry differs from disputing a national issuer's tradeline. A bank in this size range typically runs reporting through a small operations team, which is why a letter identifying one specific field usually outperforms a general demand. Identify the account by its last four digits and open date, name the single field that is wrong — balance, status, or date of first delinquency — and send the same dispute to the bureaus under §611 so both routes run in parallel. What results depends entirely on the bank's verification, and results vary.

Disputing an original creditor is not the same as disputing a collector
First Community Bank of Central Alabama is an original creditor — the institution whose name was on the account when it was opened. That matters for two reasons. First, the FDCPA, which governs debt collectors, generally does not apply to a creditor collecting its own debt in its own name, so the “debt validation” request that works against a collection agency is not the right tool here. Second, as the furnisher of the tradeline, First Community Bank of Central Alabama has direct obligations under FCRA §623 to investigate a dispute you send it and to correct or delete information it cannot verify as accurate.
Dispute with the bureaus — FCRA §611
File with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. They must generally investigate within 30 days and tell the furnisher. Free, and you can do it yourself.

First Community Bank of Central Alabama questions, answered
Is First Community Bank of Central Alabama FDIC-insured, and what is its certificate number?
Yes. First Community Bank of Central Alabama holds FDIC certificate 57124. The FDIC record shows a charter established August 28, 2001, headquarters in Wetumpka, AL, and 9 FDIC-reported offices with $694 million in total assets as of the 06/30/2026 call report. It is a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator.
Who regulates First Community Bank of Central Alabama, and where do I escalate if a dispute fails?
First Community Bank of Central Alabama is a state-chartered commercial bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, so its primary federal oversight runs through the FDIC and its state banking regulator. If a dispute with the bank and the bureaus does not resolve an inaccuracy, you can file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and you retain a private right of action under FCRA §§616–617. Escalating does not require a third party — you can do all of it yourself at no cost.
How many credit-card complaints does the CFPB show against First Community Bank of Central Alabama?
We do not publish a figure for First Community Bank of Central Alabama. A 9-office community bank is rarely a distinct company in the CFPB's credit-card complaint data, and we do not publish counts matched by partial name, because similar names belong to unrelated companies and attributing another firm's complaints to First Community Bank of Central Alabama would be inaccurate. You can search the database yourself at consumerfinance.gov.
How long can a First Community Bank of Central Alabama charge-off stay on my credit report?
A charged-off First Community Bank of Central Alabama account can generally report for up to seven years from the date of first delinquency — the original missed payment that was never brought current, not the date First Community Bank of Central Alabama charged it off and not the date it was sold to a collector. If that date has been moved forward, the re-aging is itself a reportable FCRA inaccuracy.
What is the difference between disputing with First Community Bank of Central Alabama and disputing with a collector?
First Community Bank of Central Alabama is the original creditor, so it furnishes the original tradeline and holds the underlying records — application, statements, payment postings. A collector reports a separate tradeline built from data handed to it. A §623 dispute to First Community Bank of Central Alabama reaches the party holding the documents, which is why these often resolve on evidence a collector never had.
Does First Community Bank of Central Alabama report to all three credit bureaus?
Furnishing is voluntary under the FCRA, so this depends on First Community Bank of Central Alabama's own arrangements. A lender with 9 offices and $694 million in assets may report to only one or two bureaus, each on its own cycle. Pull all three before deciding a First Community Bank of Central Alabama account is missing or misreported — a balance that differs between bureaus is usually just a timing artifact, whereas a mismatch in payment history, account status or date of first delinquency is worth a dispute.
First Community Bank of Central Alabama was acquired or changed names — why does my report show two accounts?
Mergers and rebrands routinely cause this: a converted First Community Bank of Central Alabama account can appear under both the old and new furnisher name at once. Only one tradeline should survive, and the duplicate needs to be deleted rather than marked closed, since a duplicate still inflates your utilization and account count. Even a modern charter can duplicate a tradeline after a branch acquisition. Identify both versions by last four digits and open date when you dispute.
Can I dispute First Community Bank of Central Alabama reporting myself, without paying anyone?
You can, free of charge. The FCRA gives you the dispute right personally; it is not something that has to be purchased. Send First Community Bank of Central Alabama a written dispute identifying the inaccurate field, and send the same to the bureaus. What changes depends on the bank's verification, and no honest party will promise you a number.
What should I check first on First Community Bank of Central Alabama reporting?
Three fields decide how long an item lasts and how heavily it weighs: date of first delinquency, account status, and high balance or credit limit. Because this charter was computerised early, genuine errors here are more often cycle-timing than conversion damage. Compare each against your own statements before writing, because a dispute that names one provably wrong field resolves far more often than a general request to remove the account.
