Not Smiling with Smile

I have an O/D limit of 2000 on my current account with Smile. Today they have sent a message saying that they will be switching it to 1000 in less than one months time. Given that I use the overdraft and am between 1000 and 2000 overdrawn - can they actually do this and enforce the change next month regardless?

Its insanity - where do I find the extra money to float above the new goalpost?

:mad:

    Yes.

    Your best bet would be to go in and explain your situation, and appeal to their better nature.
