Fleetwood Bank on Your Credit Report
In short: Fleetwood Bank is a state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the Federal Reserve and its state regulator headquartered in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania. FDIC certificate 13561 traces the charter to January 1, 1934 — a twentieth-century charter that spans the shift from paper ledgers to electronic furnishing. As of the 06/30/2026 call report, Fleetwood Bank held $416 million in assets and operated 7 FDIC-reported offices. Fleetwood Bank is the furnisher of record on accounts it originates, so both the §623 route to the bank and the §611 route through the bureaus are open to you. Information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable can be disputed under the FCRA. Outcomes depend on what the furnisher can verify, and results vary.

Fleetwood Bank is the furnisher here, not an assignee, which matters: an assignee usually receives a data file while the originator keeps the paperwork. Chartered in Pennsylvania and operating 7 offices, Fleetwood Bank handles disputes against its own records. Dispute in writing, name the exact field in question, and run the §611 bureau route in parallel. No outcome is promised — it depends on the underlying documentation.

Disputing an original creditor is not the same as disputing a collector
Fleetwood Bank 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, Fleetwood Bank 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.
Dispute with the furnisher — FCRA §623
Send Fleetwood Bank a direct written dispute. It must investigate and must not continue reporting information it knows is inaccurate. Keep copies and proof of delivery.
Fleetwood Bank questions, answered
Is Fleetwood Bank FDIC-insured, and what is its certificate number?
Yes — deposits are FDIC-insured under certificate 13561. That record lists Fleetwood Bank as a state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the Federal Reserve and its state regulator headquartered in Fleetwood, PA, chartered January 1, 1934, with $416 million in assets across 7 FDIC-reported offices on the 06/30/2026 call report.
Who regulates Fleetwood Bank, and where do I escalate if a dispute fails?
As a state-chartered bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the Federal Reserve and its state regulator, Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank?
No number is published here. When we queried the CFPB credit-card complaint data, no company key matched Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank charge-off stay on my credit report?
The FCRA ceiling is roughly seven years measured from the date of first delinquency on the Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank and disputing with a collector?
Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank under §623 puts the question to the party that can actually check it.
Does Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank, a varying balance usually reflects different refresh dates; a varying account status or date of first delinquency is the real signal.
Fleetwood Bank was acquired or changed names — why does my report show two accounts?
A single account showing twice is a classic conversion artifact. Fleetwood Bank has operated since 1934, 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 Fleetwood Bank account myself without paying anyone?
Yes. Both the §611 bureau dispute and the §623 direct dispute to Fleetwood Bank 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 Fleetwood Bank headquartered, and does that affect my dispute?
Fleetwood Bank is headquartered in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania, with 7 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.
