Legal Question in Consumer Law in New York

What legal action can I take?

A company was given permission to electronically debit a checking account via signed contract on certain dates. This company proceeds to take money out of the account on two occassions on the wrong date once to hide a accounting error and make the consumer account for the clerical error. Later the company doesn't even bother to take out funds on the agreed upon date and the customer has to resolve the companies delinquent payment. What can I do? Do I have any legal recourse?

If you have suffered damages, a demand for reimbursement

of such is also in order

Find an alternate method of paying
