Written Statement Under Penalty of Perjury
Affidavit of Unauthorized/Improper Entry
FOR CONSUMER ACH DEBITS ONLY

__________________________________ |
I, ______________________________________ (consumer's name), depose and say that
I have examined the attached statement or other notification from my financial
institution indicating that an ACH
debit entry was charged to my account number: __________________________ in the
name of _________________________on __________________________ (date) in the
amount of $___________________________, and that the entry was unauthorized,
improper, or a prior authorization was revoked. For non-consumer accounts: I further assert that I am an authorized
signer on the above-referenced account or have corporate authority to act on
the above-referenced account.
A revocation of authorization means that the written agreement with
the originating company, which was signed or similarly authenticated to allow
payments processed through the ACH network to be deposited in or withdrawn from
an account at a financial institution, has been cancelled. The account holder must revoke
authorization directly with the originating company prior to the return of the
debit.
FOR REVOKED AUTHORIZATION, I FURTHER DEPOSE THAT:
(Return reason code = R07 )
I authorized
_______________________(‘the Company’) to originate one or more ACH
entries to debit funds from my account, but
on _________________,20_____, I revoked that authorization by notifying the
Company in the manner specified in the authorization.
An unauthorized debit
means an electronic funds transfer was never properly authorized by the account
holder. An ACH debit in an amount greater than that authorized by the account
holder, or that occurs on an earlier date than that authorized, is also
considered unauthorized. An
unauthorized debit does not include an electronic funds transfer initiated with
fraudulent intent by the account holder or any person acting in concert with
the account holder.
FOR UNAUTHORIZED ENTRIES, I FURTHER DEPOSE AND SAY THAT (check
one)
(Use R10 for consumer SEC codes to
consumer acct; use R05 for corporate SEC codes to consumer acct; use R29 for
corporate SEC codes to corp. acct.)
I did not authorize, and have not ever
authorized, in writing, or by similarly-authenticated means (for WEB, TEL, and
POP), _________________________________ (company) to originate one or more ACH
entries to debit funds from any account at this financial institution.
I authorized ____________________________ (company) to
originate one or more ACH entries to debit funds from this account at my
financial institution in writing or by similarly-authenticated means, but:
___
the amount debited exceeds the amount I authorized to be debited. The amount I authorized was
$________________;
OR
____ the debit was made to this account on a date earlier than the date
on which I authorized the debit to occur.
I authorized the debit to be made to this account no earlier than
___________________________,20_____.
An IMPROPER DEBIT means an RCK, ARC, BOC,
or POP entry where the item to which the entry relates is ineligible, or other
