How to stop a company from pulling money from your bank by ACH. Use the free template below and follow the timing steps.
Timing matters most. A notice sent on the due date often comes too late.
Send a written notice that you revoke the debit authorization. Email works for most apps. Keep a copy with the date.
Do it at least 3 business days before the next scheduled debit. You can call or write. Ask your bank to block future debits from that company.
If you tell the bank by phone it may ask for written confirmation within 14 days. Send it so the stop stays in place.
Watch your account around the next due date. If a debit still goes through ask your bank what it can do.
Copy it and fill in the brackets. Send one to each company.
