Right to Set Off if Account Is Negative?

Answered by: 

Question: 
If an account is negative do you have the right to set off? For example: if a customer owes for a safe deposit and the payment is due, we take the payment out on a Wednesday knowing they will have a direct deposit on Friday.
Answer: 

Right of setoff is a matter of your contracts and State law. You cannot offset a negative balance.
