Plains State Bank on Your Credit Report
In short: Plains State Bank is a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator, operating from Humble, Texas. FDIC records place the charter's origin at April 6, 1957 and assign it certificate 17739. The 06/30/2026 call report lists $828 million in assets across 8 FDIC-reported offices. Because Plains State Bank originates its own paper rather than buying it, the documentation behind any tradeline sits with the bank — which is what makes a §623 direct dispute worth filing here. Information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable can be disputed under the FCRA. Outcomes depend on what the furnisher can verify, and results vary.

Across 8 offices in Texas, the review is handled in-house. No outcome is promised; the paperwork decides the result.

Disputing an original creditor is not the same as disputing a collector
Plains State 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, Plains State 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.

Plains State Bank questions, answered
Does the FDIC insure deposits at Plains State Bank?
It is insured, and certificate 17739 is the number to quote. The FDIC lists a state-chartered bank that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, supervised by the FDIC and its state regulator, headquartered Humble, TX, chartered April 6, 1957, reporting $828 million and 8 offices as of 06/30/2026.
Which regulator oversees Plains State Bank?
Plains State Bank answers primarily to the FDIC and its state banking regulator. If a §611 and a §623 dispute both return "verified" against paperwork you hold, take it to the CFPB; FCRA §§616–617 also create a private right of action. You do not need to pay anyone to do either. The Plains State Bank head office in Humble is the right address for the written record.
How many credit-card complaints does the CFPB show against Plains State Bank?
No number is published here. When we queried the CFPB credit-card complaint data, no company key matched Plains State 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 Plains State Bank charge-off stay on my credit report?
The seven-year window runs from first delinquency on the underlying Plains State Bank account. Transfers, charge-offs and sales are irrelevant to that date. A first-delinquency field that shifts forward on a later pull is re-aging and should be disputed on that basis alone.
What is the difference between disputing with Plains State Bank and disputing with a collector?
Go to whoever holds the documents. Plains State Bank has the signed application and the posting history; an assignee generally has a spreadsheet row. That is why a §623 direct dispute to Plains State Bank tends to produce a substantive answer rather than a rubber-stamp verification.
Does Plains State Bank report to all three credit bureaus?
Furnishing is voluntary under the FCRA, so Plains State Bank — 8 offices in Texas — may report to one or two bureaus rather than all three. Compare the three files side by side: differing balances are usually timing, but differing account status or first-delinquency dates are disputable.
I see duplicate Plains State Bank tradelines — is that allowed?
One account showing twice is a classic conversion artifact. Plains State Bank has operated since 1957, and a charter that old has usually been through at least one core-system migration. An 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 Plains State Bank account myself without paying anyone?
No payment is required. Writing to the bureaus under §611 or to Plains State Bank under §623 costs you postage. Paid help is optional and cannot unlock anything extra; results depend entirely on what the documentation shows, and accurate entries stay put.
Where is Plains State Bank headquartered, and does that affect my dispute?
Plains State Bank is headquartered in Humble, Texas, with 8 FDIC-reported offices. Headquarters does not change your federal rights — the FCRA applies identically everywhere — but it does tell you which state banking regulator shares oversight, which matters if you escalate past the CFPB.
