transaction has the right to stop payment on any specific ACH debit. A
stop payment request should be handled in accordance with the provisions
of Article Seven (Recall, Stop Payment, Recredit, and Adjustment) of

for stop payment is made to ensure this is not intended to be a
revocation of authorization (R07). A stop payment order shall remain in
effect until the earliest of the following occurs: a lapse of six months
from the date of the stop payment order, payment of the debit entry has
been stopped, or the Receiver withdraws the stop payment order.
