Bank overdraft fees query?

I have had a bank account open for 5 years now with a particular bank and for the first time i have gone overdrawn by £7 unexpectedly (unpaid bill i misssed) and i noticed within a day of being overdrawn that i should transfer money from another account into to my overdrawn bank account to cover it. Now i am in credit 24 hours after being overdrawn but will the bank charge me an overdrawn fee seiing as its the 1st time ive ever been overdrawn and by so little? If so what charge should i expect to see on my bank account in overdrawn charges?

Update:

Update 3:

    If you did what the bank advised you will not be charged. If you missed their deadline they will charge you. Banks thrive on customer mistakes. That's part of their expected income. The trick is either to make sure you never sail close to the wind, or arrange a suitable authorised overdraft.

    I have had an authorised overdraft in place for many years, just in case.

    I think they will charge you unless you have a free overdraft facility.

    Look at the terms and conditions of your account to see the fees you will get charged.

Reconcile on your financial business enterprise assertion each month or extra usually in case you are able to desire to online. verify off each little thing on your verify register that has cleared then take each little thing that has no longer cleared and subtract it from what the financial business enterprise has. they could desire to tournament. in specific cases a checking isn't for each individual. it may desire to be extra fee-effective to apply money to purchase issues and purchase money orders to pay costs. in basic terms think of of all the money orders you ought to purchase for $35.00.

    The bank will probably charge you, but if you ask nicely they may waive the fee, seeing as it was a first occurrence.
