Disputing an original creditor is not the same as disputing a collector
First Community Bank of Tennessee 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee questions, answered
Is First Community Bank of Tennessee FDIC-insured, and what is its certificate number?
Yes — deposits are FDIC-insured under certificate 27211. That record lists First Community Bank of Tennessee as a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator headquartered in Shelbyville, TN, chartered April 1, 1988, with $944 million in assets across 5 FDIC-reported offices on the 06/30/2026 call report.
Who regulates First Community Bank of Tennessee, and where do I escalate if a dispute fails?
As a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator, First Community Bank of Tennessee answers primarily to that regulator. Where a §611 and a §623 dispute both come back verified against documentation you hold, escalate to the CFPB, and note that FCRA §§616–617 create a private right of action. You do not need to hire anyone to take either step.
How many credit-card complaints does the CFPB show against First Community Bank of Tennessee?
No number is published here. When we queried the CFPB credit-card complaint data, no company key matched First Community Bank of Tennessee exactly, and we will not approximate one by partial-name matching — that routinely pulls in unrelated companies with similar names. Rather than imply a count we cannot source, we leave it out. The database is public and searchable at consumerfinance.gov.
How long can a First Community Bank of Tennessee charge-off stay on my credit report?
The FCRA ceiling is roughly seven years measured from the date of first delinquency on the First Community Bank of Tennessee account. Charging the balance off, selling it, or moving it to another servicer does not restart that clock. If the date of first delinquency moves forward, that is re-aging — itself an FCRA violation worth disputing.
What is the difference between disputing with First Community Bank of Tennessee and disputing with a collector?
First Community Bank of Tennessee is the original creditor and holds the underlying file — application, statements, posting history. Collectors typically receive a data file, not the original paperwork. Disputing directly with First Community Bank of Tennessee under §623 puts the question to the party that can actually check it.
Does First Community Bank of Tennessee report to all three credit bureaus?
There is no legal requirement to report to every bureau, and banks this size often do not. Compare all three files first. With First Community Bank of Tennessee, a varying balance usually reflects different refresh dates; a varying account status or date of first delinquency is the real signal.
First Community Bank of Tennessee was acquired or changed names — why does my report show two accounts?
A single account showing twice is a classic conversion artifact. First Community Bank of Tennessee has operated since 1988, and charters that old have usually been through at least one core-system migration. One account may legitimately appear under a predecessor name, but the same debt must not report twice with two balances. Dispute the duplicate and name both tradelines.
Can I dispute a First Community Bank of Tennessee account myself without paying anyone?
Yes. Both the §611 bureau dispute and the §623 direct dispute to First Community Bank of Tennessee are free and available to you directly. No company can do anything for you that you cannot do yourself, and nobody can lawfully promise a specific result. Anything accurate and timely stays on the report.
Where is First Community Bank of Tennessee headquartered, and does that affect my dispute?
First Community Bank of Tennessee is headquartered in Shelbyville, Tennessee, with 5 FDIC-reported offices. Headquarters does not change your federal rights — the FCRA applies the same way everywhere — but it does tell you which state banking regulator shares oversight, which matters if you escalate past the CFPB.
