I had accidentally overdrafted my PNC checking account by about seven dollars a little over a week ago. I was then charged a total of $71 in overdraft fees (an initial $36 overdraft charge and then $7 per day after that) until today.
Today, I finally decided to try to call my bank and ask if they could refund my overdraft charges. I was very polite and explained that I had accidentally overdrafted while paying my bills and asked if it would be possible for me to be refunded the overdraft fees. The person on the other line agreed.
There's no harm in asking! The worst is that they refuse, but the potential benefit of not having to pay is worth that risk.
