Automatic Payment Protection Kit

Use editable letters to organize a stop-payment request, revoke an automatic debit authorization, or document a disputed transfer.

How to stop a covered recurring withdrawal

Regulation E covers qualifying electronic withdrawals that you authorize in advance to repeat from a personal bank or credit union account. Recurring ACH debits are a common example. One-time payments, credit-card charges, and business-account payments can follow different rules.

  1. Revoke permission with the company. Tell the company in writing that you withdraw permission for future automatic debits. Keep a copy and proof that you sent it.
  2. Give your bank a stop-payment order. For a covered scheduled debit, notify your bank or credit union orally or in writing at least three business days before the scheduled transfer. If the bank requires written confirmation of an oral order, send it within 14 days of the oral notice. The bank must tell you about that requirement and where to send the confirmation when you give the oral order.
  3. Handle the bill or contract separately. Stopping a debit does not cancel a debt, loan, subscription, or contract. Arrange another payment method or contact the company about cancellation if needed.

Frequently asked questions

Will these letters automatically stop a payment?

No. You must submit the appropriate request to the merchant and/or financial institution. A template is not a guarantee that a withdrawal will be stopped.

Does stopping a debit cancel my loan or membership?

No. Your underlying contract or payment obligation may remain in effect. Contact the company separately regarding cancellation or alternative payment.

Do I need to buy the kit to exercise my rights?

No. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provides free guidance at 12 CFR 1005.10. This kit is an optional convenience.

How will I receive the files?

Urban AZ Financial verifies your PayPal payment and sends the digital kit manually to the buyer email on the transaction within one business day after payment confirmation.
