    If you have the above od's which are in your signature, they may think you are over exposed
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    I have always had £1000 overdraft with my Halifax and Bank of scotland accounts for over 3 years. My guaranteed overdraft has been £4000 for over one year.

    Lloyds do not report overdraft amounts to CRA's.

    Believe what?

    Each month i have checked my overdraft using 9999 process online and my guaranteed overdraft has always been £4000.
  • I think Whitewater was referring to the fact you said Lloyds don't report overdraft amounts to the CRAs.

    They do.

    Guaranteed is only guaranteed for the account you are checking. Opening a new account (as you did) may result in a different overdraft maximum being allowed.

    For clarity then, are you saying it will make no reference to your overdraft limit but if you were £345.23 overdrawn it would report the figure of £345.23?
  • That's weird - perhaps it depends which CRA you look at.

    Which one is the example above Scott ?
