Ok, I recently bounced a check for 28.01. It went thru 1 time. I do alot of banking over the internet and didnt add right when transferring money to my checking. The merchant is using certegy, and certegy sent my check thru the second time which cleared. I have to write them a $25 fee for the check even though it cleared the second time. Now the merchant that I actually bounced the check with wants another 28.01 plus fees. So Im paying the same bill twice to two different companys. I would have thought that since the check did clear the bank I wouldnt owe the merchant. also certegy is going draw the 25 out of my check without authorization from me is any of this legal since the check I had written cleared...I know I owe fees but to pay twice to two different companies does not seem right, and I know I shouldnt have let this happen and I will be more careful in the future. I hope someone knows something about this...Thanks
fees but to pay twice to two different companies does not seem right, and That is the way it always works.
