Reference - Stolen Purses

Multiple Choice

Reference - Stolen Purses. Sandra and Mary were having lunch at their favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, a thief stole their purses containing their ATM cards. Mary notified her bank the next day of the theft of the ATM card. Unfortunately, the card had already been used to fraudulently obtain over $1,000. Sandra thought back to her business law class and did not call her bank, however, because she believed that she would not be liable for any charges on the ATM card because of the rules involving forgeries. Nevertheless, a week or so later when Sandra was in the bank, she casually mentioned to the teller that she needed a new card because hers had been lost. She was shocked when a bank representative attempted to hold her responsible for hundreds of dollars of goods bought with the ATM. Sandra told the bank representative that she refused to cover the amounts, that she was moving her account, and that she wanted all preauthorized payments and EFTs stopped immediately. Which of the following is true regarding the bank's obligation to stop EFT transfers?

A) The bank must immediately end any EFTs on the same day requested so long as the request is made during regular business hours.
B) The bank must end any EFT payments on the same day requested so long as the request is made by 2 p.m.
C) The bank must stop any EFT payments so long as the request is made within 48 hours of the EFT authorization.
D) The bank must stop any EFT payments so long as the request is made within five days of the EFT authorization.
E) The bank could not stop payment because EFT transfers occur instantaneously.
