    Thanks for your replies everyone, I do have access to credit elsewhere so it's not a case of removing all of my overdraft entitlement for good - just the one on this account.
    I guess there's no harm keeping it if it's not being used, I just wondered if it might do my credit rating some good if it was removed. That's really the only reason - and the fact that the account isn't used a great deal. I wouldn't use the overdraft unless it's absolutely necessary - and even so, I'd use cheaper options first.

    Have you verified that it's showing on your CRA files?


    Your 'issue' may not even exist if it isn't.
