Can an auto business accept a request to stop automated payment withdrawals from my bank account without my consent?

The bank account is in my name only and the agreement for automated withdrawals was signed by me only. It reads that changes must be made in writing or fax and I did not request that automated be discontinued.

If the agreement itself states that any changes must be made in writing or otherwise by fax and (presumably) signed by you, then no--it may not be changed without your written consent. Any such terms in an agreement regarding auto payment will generally be enforced as they are written.
