negative balance
Money you owe
A negative balance occurs when an account shows you owe money rather than have it—when withdrawals or charges exceed deposits.
Bank accounts with negative balances are overdrawn; credit cards with negative balances mean the issuer owes you.
I checked my account and found a negative balance of forty dollars.
