    You will be charged by bank I think and if it is the first time - call the bank tomorrow (or when charges appear on account) and you should get a refund. My bank, A&L will charge £25 for each one, they would also charge for paying one that puts you overdrawn!

    As for who they were going to - I have NEVER been charged by anyone for bounced dd except CC and that was the £12 late payment fee. So you should be ok there.

    They might re- present them to bank in a few days, which they are not supposed to do without letting you know but it has happened to me without being told so just be careful money is available in bank

    Its pants........and it is very good that it is a first for you...........its happened to me LOADS before LBM, but then you have read my rantings about fee's to A&L. In fact this is the first month I have no charges from them :)

    I hate charges! So frustrating when you are just a day out.

    I think you will be able to 'smooth talk' them hun, especially when they are used to chancers like me who didn't have money for most payments most months!

    Hi BTD, how's the diet going? Mine's gone off the rails a bit this week as I'm on holiday (from work - I'm not on a nice beach somewhere :cool:)

    Could you arrange your DD's for a later day in the month? Or is DH paid on different days?

    Hope you can manage to sweet talk the bank. If it's a first offense, you might be ok :)

    I would honestly ring the bank up and see if you can get the money back. I did this with A&L recently and they did waive the charges - worth a shot I think?
