Unpaid cheque fee - twice

A cheque I wrote from my Santander current account bounced earlier this month - this was my fault, I took my eye off the ball and had insufficient funds for several days.
I just checked my statement online and it shows that 3 days later the same cheque was bounced again, and now I have just been hit with TWO unpaid fees of 25 pounds each.
It's true that I would still have had insufficient funds on the second date, but are Santander allowed to bounce the same cheque more than once thereby pocketing TWO fees? Should I be complaining about this?

If it was represented, and again bounced the second time, then yes you will get hit with a second charge.0
