I'm not exactly sure what it is you are saying. Are you saying you tried to deposit, or did actually deposited a check drawn on 5/3 and you a 5/3 customer was charged $5 when it was returned or was the check drawn on a "forgien" bank and you a 5/3 customer was charged the $5 when it was returned NSF. Either way, that's the way it works. I'm surprised they only charged you $5. The thing to do is to have the person that gave you the check refund you the $5. That's what all businesses do and usually add on a hefty $25 to $75 on top of the bank's NSF fees. In the future, I'd "cash" the check ASAP AT THEIR BANK or better yet have them pay you in cash.
