It depends. If:
- you have a monthly credit card bill repayment agreement with the bank wherein the bank automatically deducts your monthly payments from your checking account or
- you have defaulted on your card payments for more than 2 or 3 months and haven't contacted the bank reg. the same
Then, the bank can withdraw money from your account (if there is any cash available) towards your card repayment. Otherwise the bank cannot deduct any money from your account without intimating you.

An overdraft protection fee is a fee assessed to your account when: 1. You have set up overdraft protection for your checking account, usually in the form of a savings account or line of credit/credit card; and 2. You spend more money than you have in your checking account. Overdraft protection transfers money from the linked savings account or line of credit/credit card in order to pay for the expenses that you did not have enough money for in your checking account. There is a fee for this transfer, but it is usually much less - sometimes a savings of 50% - than an insufficient funds fee, which you receive when you spend more money than you have and do not have overdraft protection.

You don't necessarily need a checking account to have a credit card. When you swipe the credit card, the credit card company is paying for your purchase out of their money. In turn, they will send you a statement or invoice at the end of each month detailing how much you spent and how much you must pay. The major difference is that a credit card can lead to debt if you aren't disciplined. If you only use a check/debit card, you will never go into debt. When you run out of money in your checking account, new transactions will be declined.
