Legal Question in Banking Law in Florida

I been out of work since oct 2009 and just started work again in july 2010. During that time I had a suv finance through chase financial. I had a checking account at chase bank that was not connected to the auto loan. In july my truck had been repossess and they sold it for 9500.00 and I owed 10,500 on the truck. They was told in july that I could not settle the account do to the fact that I just stated to work. So all I used that account for is to pay rent so when I deposited 620.00 in the checking account the auto finance company went in and withdrew 300.00 without my conscent. I'm wondering if that was legal first of all because if that was legal of them to do that why did they withdraw all of the 620.00 that was in the account.

Thank You

Have you asked? They can't withdraw funds without a writ of garnishment or some legal right to access the account. Did you give them that right? Go speak to the bank.
