    I don't think they give you an unplanned OD they call it this when you spend more then you've got in your account.

    yes, but i didnt want to spend more than i have got. so now they charge me.

    Once the outstanding money has been paid, they will remove the unplanned overdraft from your account. The term you need to use is 'Overdrawn'

    Well you can but it costs £5 a month. Its called a control account.

    Lloylds are infamous for letting people into an unauthorised overdraft, they even let teens with the under 19s account go overdrawn.
