overdraft charges on unused bank account

Hi

I could do with some help on this bank charges query. I have an unused ulster bank account (rbs group) and realised that paypal took £11 from the account as a back-up funding source in february and made the balance on the account negative. I had no idea this transaction occured then happened to check my balance on this account to find it is now approx -£300 with all the monthly bank charges. What should i do??

    Wow, dont think theres much you can do.
    What made you check your balance today, think you shoud have checked it in March.
    You could ring them and plead your case to the bank but if they wont back down dont think theres much you can do but pay up in the light of yesterdays decision.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
