    Yes, just ring them and ask to transfer to your bank account (to pay off an overdraft;-). Should be no problem but only 95% of the credit limit.

    They don't usually ask why you want to transfer to your current account so no need to specify for overdraft. It is to help pay off a debt - your mortgage :)

    They asked me when I did my SBT recently. Caught me a bit by surprise as I wasn't expecting it. Had to invent a story on the spot but luckily I got away with it.
