Virginia Oil Company allows Telecheck to charge $50 per returned check even when the check is paid on second submission.
BBT bank charged me $35 (X 6) $210, for checks returned (they had been paying overdrafts up to then and had been charging me overdraft fees.)
So I was charged $70 dollars per check by BBT. $70 X 6=$420.
Several days later-Telecheck submitted charges of $50 each, total $300. It was not paid so agian there's $210 in return fees.
7 days later, Telecheck submits again - $50 X 6= $300. It was not paid so BBT charges another $210.
So - $210 $420 $210= $840 $210=$1050 total for 4- $20 checks, 1 check for $10 and 1 for $15.
Can telecheck be sued for the charges.? The checks were paid on second submission.
Can BBT be forced to return $420 in return fees?
Ordinarily BBT would have paid these fees but they saw it as an opportunity to collect huge fees from a penniless elderly person whose income is less than $700 a month.
