Abbey Student Overdraft

Hi there, i am in my second year of study and will be returning to uni in september. Does anyone know when the overdraft increases...is there a set date or do i have to go into the branch and show them something, if so what would it be... I am just asking as some of you may be using abbey for student accounts.
Ta in advance :money:

    I've got a feeling it's 1 July, though it might be August. Or September. You definitely don't need to do anything though, it will go on automatically.

    You might have to send your bank a message through their online banking site, or try visiting a branch? Quite often banks will make you ask for the increase...:confused:

    Yeah true but i presumed it was an automatic increase because when i went from 1st to 2nd year it increased automatically without me requesting anything.That was from £1000 to £1250 in the third year its meant to increase to £1500
