It depends. You cannot be jailed for just availing the bank overdraft facility. But if you fail to pay back the money you owe the bank that you utilized by means of the overdraft option, then the bank can initiate a legal proceeding against you and you may be jailed if you fail to pay the money.
go to jail
only if you have owed that bank for a long period of time then yes they can but if u just recently owed the bank money then no. also if you have insufficient funds with a bank and you go open another account with a different bank then your old bank will see and get the money from the account you just recently opened to pay off what you owe with them.
Overdrafting in itself is not a crime. It's only you failing to stick to what you agreed with the bank. For this - not doing as agreed, they will charge you extra. Then that's the end of that. What is a crime though is not to pay what you owe. Thing is, you're even less likely to pay what you owe if you're in prison. Harder to make any money there. So a bank will try a lot of things to get their money back first, before trying to send you to jail. They'll only go for the jail option when it's obvious that you won't/can't pay. And what you get sent down for isn't the overdraft as such, it's that you've not payed it. It would be exactly the same as any other debt where you haven't kept up with the payments.

I recently sold my dirt bike to someone and I still owe on the loan. Can I go to jail?

Yes, it's called "bank robbery".
only if you have owed that bank for a long period of time then yes they can but if u just recently owed the bank money then no. also if you have insufficient funds with a bank and you go open another account with a different bank then your old bank will see and get the money from the account you just recently opened to pay off what you owe with them.
You cannot be garnished if you do not work, but it does not change the fact that you owe 'someone' money. If you owe the IRS money and simply ignore them you can most certainly go to jail. If you owe an individual or business money I doubt they would waste the money on a lawyer to get money you do not have. Once you got a job again you could begin getting garnished, and if you receive any sort of financial support from the gov't, ex. Welfare, Social security, I'm sure that would be affected.
The buyer has to go to the bank with you, write the check to the bank and you and the bank will give them the title and give you the remaining money.

The individual will still be responsible for paying back the money they owe even after serving time in jail. Time served does not fulfill their obligation to repay the victim for the property obtained by false pretense. They may be required to pay restitution as part of their sentence.
