no
It went NSF and your down payment is not paid. You will likely incur extra charges as well for the NSF not only from the bank but from whomever the down payment was for.
I just found the same thing on my suntrust bank statement, but it's NSF paid items penalty $35 ??? l found a similar charge, stating NSF Paid ltems Penalty-$105. l found this was a charge for overdrawing. . . Very unnecessary charge, but still.
non-sufficient funds ( means you do not have enough money in your account to cover your transacations)
It is legal for the bank to charge a fee for every nsf check on the account. Now they can't charge you an nsf fee that's higher than what they would charge anyone else. But, if there were 10 nsf checks, then they can (and will) charge 10 nsf fees. By the wording of the question "without contacting you to see whats going on with the account" I assume you mean do they have to call you to discuss this nsf problem? If so, then no, they don't. They did send you notices of the nsf/fee, right? Most banks will not contact you about NSF fees, so you may have them accumulating for days. Also, if you run out of money, you can often still withdraw money from an ATM, which will also generate a fee. It is up to you to track the money in your account. It is a tough lesson to learn, but you can go to the bank and ask for some relief in fees, if this has not happened to you before. Set up a savings account to be tied to the checking account so that you do not get caught in this bind again.
It means that there was not enough money in the account to cover the check. Non Sufficient Funds.
usually refers to a purchase payment. RTN NSF = RETURNED NON SUFFICIENT FUNDS. basically you didn't have enough money in your account to cover the purchase price. the bank charges you around 42 dollars for this.
No they cannot. The check can only be honored with funds from the account it was written on.
