FAQ
A bounced payment occurs when there isn't enough money in your current account to fund a pre-arranged payment, so your bank refuses to make the payment. Banks usually charge you for each bounced payment.If a bank refuses to make a payment it must generally tell you as soon as possible and explain why.
The phrase in payment of an obligation means that the check should not be issued in payment of a pre-existing obligation. When a check was issued in payment of a debt contracted prior to such issuance, there is no estafa.This law has made the mere act of issuing a bouncing check a criminal act.
But, the bank never notified me, so other checks bounced and I got hit with several overdraft fees. Shouldn't the bank have sent me a notice? The bank is not required to notify you when a check bounces because of insufficient funds. You are responsible for keeping a current and accurate check/transaction register.
When there are insufficient funds in an account, and a bank decides to bounce a check, it charges the account holder an NSF fee. If the bank accepts the check, but it makes the account negative, the bank charges an overdraft (OD) fee. If the account stays negative, the bank may charge an extended overdraft fee.
