With all due respect to your marketing person, I think you're asking for trouble here. If you "refuse" payment, you bounce a check. You don't "refuse" payment on something you're paying against an overdraft line, formal or informal. As much as I abhor the language of the statute, our legislature hasn't seen fit to change it. I don't think you can charge a qualifying account for the privilege of going overdrawn. Period.
