I paid my cable bill, but I paid too much because I wasn't sure of the amount of my bill. The check I wrote them was returned due to a bank error. (my direct deposit wasn't in my account when it should have been) I wrote the check out for $200 and I found out last night when I called the cable company that my bill was only for like $150 plus a $25 check charge. I got $200 dollars out of my account and went to pay it. The clerk at the cable company told me that I owed $225 because I wrote the check out for $200. I simply explained to her that I wasn't sure of how much my bill was and I just wrote it over to compensate. She said that because my returned check was written out for $200, that I had to pay the $200 plus the returned check fee, even though my bill was only for $150 plus the check charge. Is something wrong with this?
