I had a college tuition bill of $1904, which I paid by entering my PNC checking account number. In that account I had $2089. The check apparently bounced, and the University charged me a $50 fine. I immediately transferred the money to Ally bank, and the bill went through on time so I wasn't charged a late fee. Nonetheless I am frustrated. As a college student you can see how significant fines like this can be. Parking tickets, books, administrative fees, ramen noodles, I'm drowning here and not sure how anyone makes it through this.
Why would they send the check back as "insufficient funds" when I clearly had enough funds? Can I get PNC bank to refund this fee? I can't exactly threaten to leave as a customer because my account is already pretty much drained.
Edit: If anyone has tips for broke college students please lmk
