When opening a check account, the holder of the account signs a document that outlines all of the charges that can be imposed. If the 7 day recurring NSF fee was stated in the document, the account holder can not claim ignorance.
Yes, a bank can charge nsf fees to anyone they want to. You may want to check with other banks, and ask about their nsf policies. THE BANK CAN CHARGE NSF FEE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE US.
Yes. There are individual state laws which dictate the amount of the NSF fee. Most businesses do have the disclaimer posted in their business. Large businesses like Wal-Mart do not, and are still allowed to charge NSF fees.
Probably if you knew or should have known about the fee before the NSF happened. If you could not know then you may have a basis for dispute.
NSF checks and fees can usually be discharged in BK. Refiling? or reopening? Once a BK has been filed,it can sometimes be amended. There will be an additional fees.
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.
Non-sufficient funds... It means put some money in the bank or you'll be paying a lot of fees.

Certainly ... If one has overdrawn knowingling or unknowlingly, and your accounts are at the same institution, the bank has every right to move a certain amount of funds from one to the other in order to protect themselves. They might be protecting you as well to prevent endless NSF fees from being charged. One would think having money pulled is much better than the over charged NSF fees, which can keep recurring over and over again, which drains money from an account faster than it goes in. Bottom line - keep track of your finances daily - with todays methods of tracking bank accounts online, there is no rhyme or reason for any account to be overdrawn.
