Yes, if you still have OD limit and No, if you have exhausted your OD limit.

Let us say your OD limit is $10,000 and you have used $7,000 and you have given a cheque for $2000, then your cheque would be cashed.

If you have used $9,800 and given a cheque for $2000 your cheque would be rejected.

If there is no money in a checking account can you cash a check?

There are a couple ways to answer this question. 1) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN OUT TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but have no money in YOUR account: Unless it is a government check or a payroll check you will not be able to cash it. Most banks now require you to provide your Social Security Number when cashing it instead of your account number (since there is no money in your account to "hold the check" against.) IF you still need to cash it you can always bring it to the bank that it was "drawn off of" on every check it says what bank that persons account is at. 2) IF A CHECK IS WRITTEN YOU TO YOU.. and you would like to cash it but the person whose account it's coming from does not have enough money (or no money) you'll still be able to cash it, however the person whose account its coming from will be hit with an overdraft fee. Also, when you bring it to your bank to cash it and it is "drawn off" a different bank the money may be drawn out of YOUR OWN account. Banks dont like giving out money for free. I highly suggest you bring it to the bank it was drawn off of to avoid any problems. 2) IF YOU WROTE OUT A CHECK.. and dont have enough money in your account the check might go through, but you will be hit with a big overdraft fee for going below $0.

How do you repay an overdraft?

You don't actually repay and overdraft fee. When your account becomes negative the overdraft fee is then taken out adding to the original negative amount. In order for the bank to allow you to cash checks against your account or even keep the account you have to make a deposit to make the account good. When making the deposit that's when you essentially pay back the overdraft. For example if your account was in the negative $20.00 you are then hit with and overdraft fee commonly $35.00 so to make the account good and to use it you have to deposit at least $55.00

Is a mortgage same as overdraft?

No. Overdraft is a facility wherein a customer can withdraw money from his account even if he does not have sufficient balance to cover for it. He would have to eventually return the money to the bank but still he can take cash for his requirements anytime he wants. Mortgage is a facility wherein a customer borrows money from a bank to purchase a home. The only similarity between overdraft and mortgage is the fact that you will be paying an interest to the bank in return for the cash you borrowed from them.


Will your credit rating be affected if you cash a bounced check from someone else?

As long as you pay the bank fee (usually $3-10) and do not allow your account to go into overdraft status, your credit rating is not affected. Even an overdraft does not affect your credit unless your bank account is closed and you leave an outstanding overdraft balance due. At that point, the debt will likely be reported to credit bureaus, resulting in a drop in your credit scores.
