<prompt> Human: Im not quite sure if this is the place for this, but I need some advice regarding a banking issue. My stepmom on the first of every month sits down and writes checks for all her expected bills for that month electricity, credit card, etc and mails them out. This month she was writing a check to pay her credit card with Bank of America, she made a mistake.She wrote the correct amount on the amount line One Hundred Twenty-Five Dollars and No Cents the same amount she pays every month, but accidently wrote 1125 in the dollar box. 1125 was taken out of the account. Bank of America refunded the difference after my stepmom called them, after realizing her mistake.Unfortunately, in the meantime another of the other checks she sent out were cashed by other entities, and this led to a cascade of overdraft charges now totaling in excess of 550. BBT the bank my stepmom uses, and has used for 20 years, and still has a legacy account of her late first husband that banked with them since the 1970s, said there was nothing they could do to remove the charges when she went and spoke to someone in person. According to the representative, she had already used her overdraft reversal another unrelated mistake for the year, and because it wasnt a banking error, the charges would stand.It seems ridiculous that a simple mistake on a check that no one noticed, that Bank of America was willing to reverse, is now going to cost her in excess of 550? Further still, I was under the impression that the written portion of a check overrides the numbers if the two conflict. An unbudgeted 550 expense is hugely problematic in an already strained financial situation. Do you all have any advice for this situation? Is there any thing she can do about this?  <response>: To be honest the bank have been fair from what you describe. They already gave her one correction free and this was the second. I dont think theres much more you could expect from a bank here.
