Subject: Resolving Decline Check, E-Code Flag Message


If you have received a decline check, e-code flag message, it means that the check writer had a previous return which caused the payment processor to block any future ACH payments. Here's what you need to do to resolve this issue:


1. Contact Your Bank: You will need to request a letter from your bank on their letterhead stating that the account you are using is active. This letter is required by the merchant who processes e-checks in order to remove the block on future ACH payments.


2. Use the Template: For your convenience, we have attached a template that you can provide to your bank. Simply fill in the necessary information and request that the letter be placed on their letterhead.


3. Email the Letter: Once the letter is completed, it will need to be emailed to customersupport@eftsupport.com.
