Lenders Continuing Unauthorized ACH Withdrawals After Cancellation
Predatory lenders continue debiting consumer bank accounts via ACH after customers have explicitly revoked authorization and cancelled subscriptions.

Consumers who discover unauthorized recurring charges on their bank accounts are being denied assistance from their own bank in stopping or reversing the debits. Banks are citing inability to block specific payees despite Regulation E obligations to investigate unauthorized transactions. The asymmetry between merchant ACH initiation rights and consumer revocation rights is a persistent exploitation mechanism.
