Banks often have the right to deduct service charges from your account, even if it results in a negative balance. This is typically outlined in the terms and conditions you agreed to when you opened the account. It is important to keep track of your small forgotten accounts to avoid such charges. You should contact the bank to discuss the negative balance and see if any resolution can be reached.
