Can I use overdraft to pay £10 charge-list fee?

In short:

Made redundant.

Have small overdraft (not fully used).

Want to claim back on past charges.

Don't want to reveal A N Other bank account I hold so don't want to send the ubiquitous £10 cheque, drawn on that account.

Is it cheeky/acceptable to pay the bank I'm chasing with their own cheque on a slightly overdrawn - but still within agreed overdraft limit - account?

Thanks.

Mr HP.

    That did occur, but I'm going to be pursuing my bank and 2 x Credit Card companies and £30 is a bit steep at the moment.

    Daft thing is that, 'cause I've generally behaved myself by properly administering my accounts and I've not been out of work since I left school (until now), there's not really that much to claim - just a few hundred £'s (including interest charges) at best.

    Thanks, tho.
