Lloyds tsb - overdraft!!

If you notice my signature, you will have noticed that I won £1001 recently! Anyway I paid the cheque into my account to help me clear some of my overdraft, which was standing at £1500. I went to check that the cheque had cleared and what the balance was. To my surprise I noticed that Lloyds have indeed taken back some of their money £1k and have now reduced my authorised limit to £500 at the same time. I don't mind but they could have asked me first:cool:.

I suspect due to the amount of debt you are in you have had this overdraft for a while without paying it off. Overdrafts are meant for shorterm lending, so I suspect when the bank saw this deposit they went at the opportunity at the thought you might not pay it back otherwise.0

What about overdrafts being repayable on demand? They could ask for the £500 now so my advice is get off your high horse.
The reason notice is not given is that it could lead to a customer maxing out their O/D before the limit is slashed.0 -

You may not have notice that I had a huge grin next to my title, so I was certainly not on my 'high horse' as you put it, the mad symbol would have been in place if I were, I found the whole thing funny. It would have been polite for the bank to give me a call to let me know what was happening, instead of cutting is as soon as the funds had cleared. I was lucky, I was fortunate that I had the funds, so did not mind, which I pointed out in my original message!
But a lot of people out there do not have this luxury and could have ended up in allsorts of problems because a lack of notice!!
Now who's on their high horse?
