    Hi all, first post. Im unemployed, actually Im incapacitated because of a trapped nerve in my back, I'm also trying to live day to day with depression. Im not talking about the depression everyone gets over money or work. This depression makes me want to destroy myself and has had a good try at succeeding over the years. I have a £1000 overdraft, don't ask me how - I guess its the "always not having enough" syndrome we all suffer with. I have two questions regarding this overdraft if someone can help. Firstly I pay 19% A.P.R. on this overdraft, lloyds, and one day a manager in the branch came over to me and said,"We are introducing a new charge on overdrafts, you will notice it on your bill as "Overdraft Usage Fee" and they now charge me £5 Not £5.01 or £4.87, not £5 five pounds each month for using my overdraft. I shouted at him in the Bank, (as I always make sure I do so everyone can hear what he said) I ALREADY PAY YOU A FEE ITS CALLED INTEREST he said there was nothing he can do. Now £5 a month represents 5% APR effectively on my overdraft, IS THIS LEGAL! (bit of a stupid question I know, Banks ARE GODS!) the other question is how can I make this months interest drop, is there a better way of borrowing £1000 thanks in advance Phil

    It seems you really have it in for Lloyds TSB

    Honestly, what did you expect people here to say ?
  • Despite what you may feel about MrEngland's situation - he is suffering from depression which may be clouding things.

    Try to be kind.

    I may be wrong, but personally I think they have made it all up in order to start an argument.

    He's failed then. there seems to be no argument, he's in the wrong.

    Agreed. The bank are not witholding the OP's money. That money is due to him on a Monday, and it is paid on a Monday. I see no witholding here. If they choose to pay it early, that is there prerogative, not a given right, and they are well within their rights to alter their system at any time, as long as that Monday payment is still in an account by the start of business on Monday.
