non-sufficient funds ( means you do not have enough money in your account to cover your transacations)
Yes. And there can be, depending on what state you live in, criminal misdemeanor charges.
Exception processing in banking is simply when an item is processed as an exception to normal practices and as a courtesy to the customer. For example, you have written a check for an amount slightly higher than your bank balance and it is cleared through your account rather than being returned NSF. This might result in an overdraft or additional service charges but saves you the embarassment of the NSF check and NSF charges.
The bank charges you for a NSF fee and the place that you used the check can also charge you so you're looking at some hefty charges.
Fee income is the income that is generated off products such as NSF or Overdrafts, account service charges, etc. These fees are generally pure profit and very lucrative to banks

It went NSF and your down payment is not paid. You will likely incur extra charges as well for the NSF not only from the bank but from whomever the down payment was for.

usually refers to a purchase payment. RTN NSF = RETURNED NON SUFFICIENT FUNDS. basically you didn't have enough money in your account to cover the purchase price. the bank charges you around 42 dollars for this.
That the NSF charges will really increase the bank's bottom line.
When opening a check account, the holder of the account signs a document that outlines all of the charges that can be imposed. If the 7 day recurring NSF fee was stated in the document, the account holder can not claim ignorance.

an NSF cheque is often called a "bounced" cheque

It is legal for the bank to charge a fee for every nsf check on the account. Now they can't charge you an nsf fee that's higher than what they would charge anyone else. But, if there were 10 nsf checks, then they can (and will) charge 10 nsf fees. By the wording of the question "without contacting you to see whats going on with the account" I assume you mean do they have to call you to discuss this nsf problem? If so, then no, they don't. They did send you notices of the nsf/fee, right? Most banks will not contact you about NSF fees, so you may have them accumulating for days. Also, if you run out of money, you can often still withdraw money from an ATM, which will also generate a fee. It is up to you to track the money in your account. It is a tough lesson to learn, but you can go to the bank and ask for some relief in fees, if this has not happened to you before. Set up a savings account to be tied to the checking account so that you do not get caught in this bind again.
