A negative balance in your Debit Account means you owe money to the bank - and yes, it probably means you have used more than what you had in your account ( overdraft ).
Fortunately, bank overdrafts won't affect your credit score as long as you resolve them within a timely manner. Once you pay off the overdraft amount and bring your account to at least a zero balance, you can continue using your checking account as normal.
But since you have great credit assuming because your limit is 1000, you should request for an increase of your credit limit. Overpaying a credit card to create a large positive balance may cause a bank to red flag your account.
Many card companies limit you to paying no more than the full balance, but some do allow you to overpay. If this happens, you'll wind up sending more money to the credit card company than you owe them. If you write the wrong amount on the check, the card company will get paid more than you owe them.
Many experts recommend that you have enough available credit (that's the portion of your total credit limit that you have NOT used) so that you're not using more than 30% of it at any given time. However, there's nothing special about a 30% debt-to-credit ratio, as it's often called.
Credit limit increases typically come after you've displayed good financial behavior – like paying all your bills on time. When you only pay the minimum amount due it means you're paying interest on the remaining balance. This is how the credit card companies make money.

This is the amount of time between monthly bills being due. By federal law, due dates must be the same date every month. During your billing cycle, you are allowed to charge any sum up to your credit limit. As soon as your payment is posted, your credit line bounces back to the full amount you're allowed to borrow.
The credit limit is the total amount of credit available to a borrower, including any amount already borrowed. Available credit is the difference between the credit limit and the account balance—how much you have left to spend, in other words.

If you have a pending transaction on your account because the merchant has not yet completed their transactions, it could take up to five days for a total clearing of the charge. However, pending transactions could affect available credit right away even if it hasn't fully processed yet.
If you send the credit balance refund request in writing, your refund can come to you in the form of cash, a check, or money order, or can be deposited into a bank account, according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. These rules don't only apply to credit card overpayments.
