overdue vs over due

Both "overdue" and "over due" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Overdue" is a single word used as an adjective to describe something that is past its due date or deadline. On the other hand, "over due" is incorrect as two separate words and should be written as one word, "overdue."
