    You can still view your pre-approved overdraft with Halifax, click on overdraft through online banking, enter a stupidly high amount like £6000 and click sumbit, the following appears through my online banking -

    When you know what your pre-approval is, re-apply online for overdraft up to that amount.

    Hope that helps!

    Ahh so they've just moved it. I'll try it right now.

    Edit: Applied for £10k overdraft and got the message:

    To apply for an overdraft above your guaranteed limit of £1,900.00 please contact us on 08457 20 30 40 or visit any branch.

    I'm having the same problem with Capital One, I have a Vanquis with £1500 limit, Nest won't touch me either.

    I'd rather have those than a Vanquis card!

  • Maybe they just don't like me Seeya, I have a Jacamo account too.
    It must be my BR in 2006 that upsets them. I think I'll wait till near christmas and try again!
