Overdraft query

Hi,
I would like some advice.
I requested an overdraft facility from a bank. Not only did they authorise it, they accidentally gave me ten times more than I asked for. Stupidly, I spent it, paid the ludicrous interest, and have now had to get a huge loan to pay it all off, causing me major financial grief.
Do I have any leg to stand on, in terms of trying to claim some back?

Are you having a laugh?
They gave you more than you asked for, then you spent money that did not belong to you, now you want to know who's fault it is?
The banks obviously because they must of held a gun to your head and made you spent every penny!0 -
erm, I hope you dont get to claim anything. Nobody made you take the overdraft, you borrowed their money!
Just pay the loan.
Your financial mangment is clearly terrible!When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.0 -
What a couple of patronising cocks you both are! I wish I was like you0

To stop this thread decending into an argument and insults I've locked and reported it pending forum team review
