If it is an authorised overdraft then it wont, it will only affect the credit score if it is unauthorised or if you go over your overdraft

your credit score is affected by whether you pay off credit on time. So if you dont pay it back when they say, it will affect it. If you do, then it wont.
so technically the answer is both yes & no

It must go to collections for it to be reported. If you pay it you will have no problems.
