Bank overdrafts are flexible for different clients depending on account activities. Active accounts will tend to attract higher bank overdrafts as compared to dormant or less-active ones.

You can still be overdrawn if you take out more than you put in
Bank overdrafts occur when one makes a purchase by check, credit, or other vehicle to access money in one's bank account, but there are not enough funds in the account to pay for the purchase or charge. If the bank chooses to pay the charge anyhow, an overdraft occurs, which typically results in a negative balance, and the bank charging a fee. Careful attention to one's balance and spending habits is the most prudent form of avoidance of overdrafts, however, sometimes banks will give the user an option to not pay overdrafts, meaning that the check or charge will be returned unpaid.
To get a bank loan, the bank makes sure that you have a good credit rating and have good collateral before you get to touch their money. With an overdraft, not only are there no evidence of good character, as above, but the overdraft itself makes a person unreliable in the bank's eyes. Then, of course, they like to charge a high rate for overdrafts to train you into not doing any more overdrafts.
No. You can not tell by looking at a check if they have had overdrafts.
An overdraft occurs when you spend more money than you have in your bank account. The bank covers the difference, but charges you a fee for this service. You then owe the bank the amount of the overdraft, plus the fee.
To cancel an overdrawn balance on your bank account, first, deposit sufficient funds to cover the negative balance. You can do this via cash deposit, bank transfer, or direct deposit from your paycheck. After your account is back in good standing, contact your bank to discuss any potential fees and to ensure your account settings prevent future overdrafts, such as setting up overdraft protection. Always monitor your account regularly to avoid future overdrafts.
Yes, that should not be a problem.
I have overdraft protection, so my bank covers overdrafts instead of bouncing checks. This is useful because I have several auto-pay accounts, and I don't keep track of them well. However, overdrafts are charged to me at a rate of $30 a pop- if I had 120 overdrafts, that would be $3600. Just how disorganized is your checkbook? H-m-m-m?
Yes, you can overdraft even if you already owe money in your account, depending on your bank's policies. If your account is already overdrawn, additional transactions may result in further overdrafts, leading to additional fees. However, some banks may decline transactions if your account balance is below zero. It's essential to check your bank's terms regarding overdrafts and fees.
