Barclays Bank.....

I know i have another thread running but just wanted to pick your brains on this one.....

As said in my other thread i have been on the sick with a bad back after slipping on the ice 2 weeks ago. I am getting SSP but i am losing my job on 9th March as my contract isnt getting renewed.

I checked my bank balance with Barclays today and was £2 something over my OD as well as having a DD returned for car insurance as there wasnt enough funds to cover payment. I went into my local branch of Barclays and told them my situation ans wanted to spk to personal banker. Although i dont get my wages paid into this account i thought i would let them know the situation as i also have a loan with them to advise that i will not be able to make the payments next month and i didnt know when my situation was going to change.

I was told that in order to get help i would have to default on loan and OD for them to recognise that i am in financial difficulty, but was given a booklet on doing SOA to sort out I&E's which i have posted on other thread. My OD with Barclays is £800 and as i have paid a minimum amount into the account ot get me back under OD limit am i still entitled to this help or do i have to default again and take on more charges? (£8 incurred for return of DD)
Barclays OD -£805.93/limit £800 A & L OD -£350.00/limit £250
HFC (laptop) £549.00, Barclays Loan £3033.00, O2 £331 (227.70 left)(defaulted):eek::eek::eek:
