Bank Charges Help Needed

Hi, Newbie here, so please take it easy on me!!
As with most people I rely on my overdraft, I wish i didnt, but I have to. Over the last few months I have been getting charged on my account for going over the OD, When I have checked, the reason I am going over is because of the banks charges, so every month I am now getting charged, as these charges come in over the last week of the month.

Is this allowed?
Yes I know people will say, have enough money to clear it, but sometimes it isnt that easy.

It seems that the bank are "double charging" me......:(

    Yes it's allowed, you can ask them to reverse the charges but you are relying on their goodwill.

    NO the reason you are going over is because you are spending more than is going in

    Actually most people don't rely on their overdraft

    Pop over to the Debt Free Wannabe board, post your SoA there (details in a sticky thread on that board) and let's start getting your debts under control ... but only if you want to of course.
