The term "malicious overdraft" as mentioned in the preceding paragraph refers to the behavior that the cardholder overdraws beyond the prescribed limit or time limit for the purpose of illegal possession, and refuses to return it after being urged by the issuing bank.

Legal basis:

Article 70 of the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Credit Card Business of People's Republic of China (PRC) Commercial Bank stipulates that under special circumstances, if it is confirmed that the credit card debt exceeds the cardholder's repayment ability and the cardholder is still willing to repay, the issuing bank may negotiate with the cardholder on an equal footing and reach a personalized installment repayment agreement. The longest term of personalized installment repayment agreement shall not exceed 5 years.

If both parties reach an agreement and sign an installment repayment agreement, the card-issuing bank and its card-issuing service institution shall stop the collection of the cardholder, except that the cardholder fails to perform the installment repayment agreement. If an oral repayment agreement is reached, the issuing bank must keep the recorded data. Records shall be kept at least until the date of settlement of arrears.
