You might get the money back via the DD indemnity guarantee but if you owe the amount, you will still have to pay them. They might let you pay it off in installments though.0

OK I phoned RBS, they will reverse the payment. I won't get any charges because the payment hasn't gone thruogh yet (its due for Tuesday, but they will reverse it so it'll be as though I was never overdrawn) and I can take it up with Southern Electric on Tuesday to make whatever payment I owe :j
