Error Resolution

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your Electronic Transfers

Telephone us at (800) 431-1567 or (402) 528-3223 or write us at PO Box 100, Beemer, NE, 68716, as soon as you can , if you think your statement or receipt is wrong or if you need more information about a transfer on the statement.  We must hear from you no later than 60 days after we send you the FIRST statement on which the error or problem appeared.

  • Tell us your name and account number.
  • Describe the error or the transfer you are unsure about, and explain as clearly as you can why you believe there is an error or why you need more information.
  • Tell us the dollar amount of the suspected error.

We will investigae your complaint and will correct any error promptly.  If we take more than 10 business days to do this (5 business days if the transfer involved a point-of-sale transaction and 20 business days if the transfer involved a new account), we will credit your account for the amount you think is in error, so that you will have use of the money during the time it takes us to complete our investigation.


Billing Rights Summary

In Case of Errors or Questions About Your FCB Creditline.

If you think your FCB Creditline bill is wrong, or if you need more information about a transaction on your bill, write us at PO Box 100, Beemer, NE, 68716 as soon as possible.  We must hear from your no later than 60 days after we send you the first bill on which the error or problem appeared.  You can telephone us, but doing so will not preserve your rights.  In your letter, give us the following information:

  • Your name and account number.
  • The dollar amount of the suspected error.
  • Describe the error and explain why you believe there is an error.  If you need more information, describe the item you are unsure about.

You do not have to pay any amount in question while we are investigating, but you are still obligated to pay the parts of the bill that are not in question.  While we investigate your question, we cannot report you as delinquent or take any action to collect the amount you question.  The charge in question may remain on your statement, and we may continue to charge you interest on that amount.  But, if we determine that we made a mistake, you will not have to pay the amount in question or any interest or other fees related to that amount.  We can apply any unpaid amount against your credit limit.


How to Calculate Your FCB Creditline Finance Charges

Your finance charge is computed by multiplying your closing principal balance for each day by the daily periodic rate and adding the daily results during the billing cycle together.  You may calculate the daily periodic rate for any day by dividing the annual percentage rate for that day by 365.  The closing principal balance for each day will be determined by adding all advances made and deducting all payments received from the opening principal balance.  The finance charge will accrue from the date of each advance.  The periodic rate in effect may vary in accordance with your FCB Creditline Agreement.
