Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low New Jersey

I recently received a fee for an item that was paid -/-/16 from my Bank BB & T, even though I had and still have more then enough in my checking account to pay the check. The system in which BB & T executes their overdraft fees is very suspicious. The person at customer service at BB & T said I received the fee because on -/-/- the check was sent for payment. Not only did I have enough in my account to pay the check, but I also had a cash direct deposit that morning and another -/-/16. Throughout the weekend I used my debit card watching to make sure the funds were still available and even made a deposit Saturday morning just in case. The banks methodology is that throughout my transactions that weekend, all of my " debits '' worked against me and I did not receive credit for my deposits reasoning their over draft fee but that seems very in genuine ; all while not being notified that a check is posting to my account. Instead it posts 3 days later along with an overdraft fee. First, if the bank wishes to apply the charge on -/-/- rather then -/-/- I feel that should have been reflected on my account that day and not -/-/-, since, as stated my account could handle it. Hiding this information has no real substance other then keeping the consumer in the dark in order to have them slip up. Also, their " voodoo '' accounting of what counts for that day and what does not sounds very heavy handed in order to reach an outcome in which they profit. As their customers, we deserve some visibility to situations happening with our accounts, and deposits should carry as much weight as debits, even if they are " pending ''
