recurring and automatic transfers and payments from accounts to
third parties; and (3) payments from accounts by check, draft or

we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your
complaint or question (90 days for point-of-sale debit card transactions,
transactions initiated outside the United States, and EFT transactions or new

not credit your account.
