    What does it actually show on the statement (the narrative)?

    Could it be interest charged?

    It's 'debit interest', and incurred because you used your agreed overdraft facility last month.

    If you don't want to pay interest don't use the overdraft facility. :)

    So its nothing to do with a charge for using your card.

    Er.. you borrowed money (overdraft) from the bank so they are charging you interest for it... geddit?

    Note a charge for USING your debit card, but a charge for USING the borrowing facility of the overdraft.
