Depending on the bank, holds are automatically taken off when the funds are either taken out or canceled.

you will probably be overdrawn and get charged another fee. what you should do is, call customer service after the fee is charged. explain what happened. if you have a good record, they could refund the fee. if they say no, ask to speak to the supervisor, if the supervisor says not, ask to talk to the manager. stay very calm, don't be rude, but just insist that you didnt know you would be charged this fee and it's not your fault. this has worked for me in a bunch of situations and usually they get tired of dealing with me and give in lol:)
