Would overdrafts affect my credit ratings?

If my bank account is overdrafted all the time, do i get a bad credit?

  1. Hmm good question. My account was overdrafted two days ago, but not often.
  2. only if you dont pay the fee and it gets reported to the credit agency
  3. Yes, I had several overdrafts when I was young and just starting out and let me tell you now, if you don't want a bad credit rating (and trust me you don't, it just holds you back) make sure you do NOT overdraft your account. (note to snobunnie, you have to pay the fee, they automatically issue one to your account each time a trnasaction goes through for a negative balance. my bank charges $35 each overdraft)
  4. Writing checks for money you don't have? Are you seriously asking this question?
  5. I work at a bank. Your overdrafted account only affects your credit two ways. The first is if you don't pay it off within a certain amount of time, the account will charge off and go to collections. The second is if you are buying a car or house and they check your account history. Many places may actually ask to see your statements for the last year. Be careful not to overdaft too often and to pay it back imediately.
