I wrote a check on a friday, the daycare deposited the check on a friday. On Monday my account was in the positive and i was able to purchase some items with my debit card. My debit card transactions was shown on my statement online as posted. I realize that i didnt have enough to cover my check which still wasnt showing to have cleared online on thursday. On Friday to my surprise they posted the check for Monday and all my debits after giving me 7 over draft fees. They switched everything around so that i would get charged all of those fees and only refunded 2 fees. Now they are holding another check written last Wednesday and deposited by the daycare on Wednesday afternoon, the check still hasnt posted and it is Tuesday of the next week, I have enough in my account this time to cover the check and leave a balance of $100, I think they are waiting for me to use my debit card so they can do the same thing to me but I am not touching my debit card until that check clears. My advice, be careful using your debit card, PNC has a way of altering transactions to their advantage leaving you with nsf fees out of the butt. My suggestion, withdraw cash out of the branch when you go shopping, its inconvenient but it will save you a hassle with these blood suckers.

Well...

AUTHOR: Robert - Irvine (U.S.A.)

It seems by your own admission, where you know you didn't have enough money, you are relying on "floating" transactions and on-line banking. You can not rely on On-Line banking, as it does not know you wrote that check until the bank receives it. It does not know you made a Debit Card purchase until the merchant submits it. So what is the only thing you can rely on...a Check Register. As soon as you make a purchase either from your debit card or a check you need to write it down. If you spend more than you have in your account, then EXPECT overdraft fees. Any bank you go to is going to do the exact same thing.

"I think they are waiting for me to use my debit card so they can do the same thing to me but I am not touching my debit card until that check clears..."
-Everytime I hear this it just makes me wonder if people actually think this, or they just have some alternate reality that keeps them from taking responsibility for THEIR actions. The banks do not have some "back room fortune teller" that tells them to hold a check because they know that a person will use their debit card on a certain day and overdraw their account.

Now, the best thing you said was at the end of your post.
"My suggestion, withdraw cash out of the branch when you go shopping, its inconvenient but it will save you a hassle with these blood suckers..."
