I had a similar problem in WA state. It was the banks fault though so checks to other stores had bounced plus the bank charged me those great fees on top of it. I don't think you'll necessarily have to sue. My bank reimbursed me for the overdraft fees and in order to waive the fees at the other stores, the bank wrote a letter stating it was their fault. The other stores reversed their charges. I'm thinking that maybe Blockbuster may do the same and your bank may be nice enough to waive the fees "as long as it doesn't happen often"

Good luck. I know it can be a headache.

Spoke to Blockbuster this morning,they are going to return the money they took from my account for the DVD's.They also said they would cover the overdraft charges when they recieve a fax from the bank stating it was their fault the charges were incurred.I hope this ends the matter,if not i will let you know.
