I recently "went over" my overdraft "limit" by a few pounds and Natwest
pounced on me with a charge of �28. This seems unbelievable to me. An
overdraft limit should be just that but the banks pay a few pounds out
of your acount when their is insuffient funds and then charge you �28!

I asked the bank if they could make my overdraft limit more of a limit
to prevent to prevent this happening in the future because to charge
�28 it must have been a great inconvenience to the bank, and the reply
was if someone tries to charge my account and there is not enough cash
there the bank takes �38 from me for me not having enough money to pay
the original person.

I am currently choosing a new bank based on bank charges and am looking
long term for an alternative to these high street thieves.


What on earth has this got to do with New Zealand?
