Is 3600.00 in overdraft fees for1 year legal?
I have overdraft protection, so my bank covers overdrafts instead of bouncing checks. This is useful because I have several auto-pay accounts, and I don't keep track of them well. However, overdrafts are charged to me at a rate of $30 a pop- if I had 120 overdrafts, that would be $3600. Just how disorganized is your checkbook? H-m-m-m?

What is the difference between overdraft and cash credit?
The difference is very subtle and relates to the operation of the account. In the case of Cash Credit, a proper limit is sanctioned which normally is a certain percentage of the value of the commodities/debts pledged by the account holder with the Bank. Overdraft, on the other hand, is allowed against a host of other securities including financial instruments like shares, units of mutual funds, surrender value of LIC policy and debentures etc. Some overdrafts are even granted against the perceived "worth" of an individual. Such overdrafts are called clean overdrafts.
How does one avoid a bank overdraft?
Bank overdrafts occur when one makes a purchase by check, credit, or other vehicle to access money in one's bank account, but there are not enough funds in the account to pay for the purchase or charge. If the bank chooses to pay the charge anyhow, an overdraft occurs, which typically results in a negative balance, and the bank charging a fee. Careful attention to one's balance and spending habits is the most prudent form of avoidance of overdrafts, however, sometimes banks will give the user an option to not pay overdrafts, meaning that the check or charge will be returned unpaid.
