RBS requesting repayment

I'm on a student about with RBS and have dipped into the overdraft to pay for my rent over the summer as the student loan won't come in until October 1st. They've now contacted me saying I've broke the terms and conditions of the account by not making any deposits into it prior to using the overdraft and want the money back - about £400. I'm still trying to find a job but they've been quite adament that the outstanding balance needs to be paid now, is there anything I can do in the short term to give me enough time to find funds?

    All I can suggest is Ebay anything you can to raise a bit of money. Once you've gone into credit will you be able to access the overdraft again? If so could someone loan you about £500 to get into credit for a day or 2, then you pay them back?
