If It costs a bank £ 30-35 for a failed item charge/ bounced cheque and they claim that its a pre-estimate of their loss, for manual intervention, how come if your in credit that it costs you nothing.

To my mind a cheque that passes through the clearance cycle has more manual intervention than a failed direct debiticon, yet the banks dont charge £35 per cleared cheque.

I think you can only draw the conclusion that you are penalised for bouncing a direct debit rather than paying an estimated cost to the bank ??
