    Just checked my Lloyds banking for you (not with Sant. so don't know)

    Click on the account, there's a 'manage OD' option; click, select limit, enjoy!

    Did you apply for the grand? or you applied higher? and they lowered to a grand?

    if you applied higher how much did you apply for? ?

    I do think I could have more then my 3k OD but don't want to push my luck to much with lloyds.

    I went up in stages 1k then 2k then 3k all in the space of about 5 mins then when I hit 3k I bottled it and didn't ask for anymore.

    The Tuesday after bank holiday I also had the branch manager phone me asking if I would like anymore lending.

    you mean last bank holiday?

    and did you think if you applied for 4k, they would have said yes?

    and did you think if you applied for 5k, they would have said yes?

    and did you think if you applied for 6k, they would have said yes?

    I really wouldn't have a clue as I didn't think they would even increase it to 3k TBH as only been with them 3 months.
    Like I say the branch manager even said that lloyds are ready to lend and how much I haven't a clue,they also suggested if I am looking to buy a car.
