I thought I read a post saying they wouldn't give you a student account?
For normal people or post grads, overdrafts are charged interest.
Stretch the column headers at the top, the cells are probably too small to fit.
ahh thanks, that sorted it.
No i got my student account when i started my HND 2 years ago. But then i was only planning on doing a 2 year HND...I didn't know i could go to uni! But now i am, and my account has been changed to a graduate account (or it will be soon) Even though i've never even set foot inside a uni yet.
But they want to see proof, like an acceptance letter from the uni saying i am going there. Which i don't have, and won't have till September.0 -
If it isn't clear why you went over the limit, post the transactions on the online statement.
As a starting point, recreate your soa on a spreadsheet, using formulas to do the totals, apr's etc.0 -

The last transaction here is where you went over the overdraft limit, balance minus 71.27 withdraw £50 cash = balance minus 121.27.
There are no random up's and downs that I can see, every transaction should be explainable.
