Will I be charged?

I have three accounts with Barclays. The savings account, current account and overdraft.

I just went to transfer some money from my savings to my overdraft, and stupidly did not select the right account. So £100 went out of my current account plunging me £70 into the red. The current account does not have an overdraft facility.

I sorted it out literally seconds later. However, I'm now concerned I will be charged for an unauthorized overdraft. Is it likely that a phone call will prevent this? (Which I'll only be able to do when my partner gets home at 6 pm as I am deaf and need somebody on hand to make the call).

Can't believe my oversight. I've done this lots of times before. I really can't afford the £20 or whatever it is they charge. Any spare cash I have is going towards paying my MA tuition fees, and I just don't have anything spare. Really annoyed now. :mad:
