Overdraft Charges

I currently have an overdraft on my current account of £4000 which I am trying to clear by paying around 600 - 800 every month. However I am obviosuly getting various charges, ie interest which accumulate to around £70 a month.

Has anybody got any ideas as to how I could move the overdraft elsewhere to avoid the charges??

    If you can't get an agreed overdraft to cover it have you considered a loan?
  • is this an agreed £4000 limit or are you over your agreed limit?

    best thing to do is probably a short term loan, if your paying £600 a month, then get a 6 month loan, and youll only pay a few quid interest,. alternatively, if you commumicate with your bank and , as it seems, you are showing a willingness to pay it off, see if they can waive any interest. no harm in asking them
