I paid apt rent online, but it bounced. And now apt. is charging me 25dollar bouncing fee, but I had the money
Online, the apt. website asked for routing number, account number, name, and eveything, which i provided. Also, I had more than enough balance left in my account. The rent was due Aug 3, so I paid on Aug 1. But they did not notify me until afternoon on Aug 3, and said the rent got bounced, and that I owe them 25 dollars extra. So I asked them if I try paying online again, will I know the result right away? They said No, and that I will be charged late fee of 50 dollars if I do not pay by Aug 3, which is today. Thanks.

Tell them they suck and give notice.
Pay your rent in a check to the apartment today. Do it in person so that you can get a receipt that it was properly paid by aug. 3. Do not give them the $25, but discuss it. You tried to pay them yet their bank rejected it. You shouldn't have to pay for their bank's error when they provide this as a method of payment.
What doesn't make sense to me is why there is a late charge when the rent is due Aug. 3?
Some states have statutes that limit how soon late charges can be assessed, and how much they can be.
