Discover Bank debit transactions arrive with garbled "MMDD ####&@#" description prefix

All debit transactions from my Discover Bank checking account arrive with a garbled prefix: MMDD ####&@# before the merchant name. Example raw name: "DEBIT PURCHASE 0525 1234&@#SAMPLE MERCHANT LLC" becomes cleaned name "0525 1234&@#Sample Merchant Llc" so the cleaning strips DEBIT PURCHASE but leaves the date, card digits, and &@# delimiter. Affects 100% of this account; my other linked accounts are fine. Stripping the pattern ^\d{4} \d{4}&@# from the cleaned name would fix the whole feed. Happy to provide more examples or connection details.
