OK new problem. My bank account shows a $560 debit that I didn't authorize. Can't contact bank due to weather issues with the phone, but I suspect that Rio took this out. I stopped payment on them, then received an email that their name has changed to MTE. Think there's a connection. I emailed the bank and reported an unauthorized debit. Should the bank return that to me or not? What should I do?

If you didn't authorize it, then your bank should credit it to your account. I would contact them as soon as possible.

RIO does business under many names, including MTE financial. You should probably attempt to block all their names, just to be safe.

I had to supply a company ID number for Rio to stop the original ACH. Shouldn't it still be the same, and shouldn't that have triggered a stop payment?

If they are using a different name, then most more that likely they will have a different ID number. That's how the debit probably went through.

It would be virtually impossible to block these people they go by so many names. They also pull the paper check routine. They will send a check thru with the numbers 1 or9999 something like that. I would get new account. KYSIDE38

You have up to 60 days to report your claim with the bank regarding an unauthorized debit in your account.
Once you get in touch with your bank it should be pretty simple to solve the problem.

I would just close the acct and open a new one. Be sure to check with your bank to see if they allow companies to debit using your social. I don't think most banks do this, but my Credit union did and I had to change banks for like 4 months until I got them paid off.
