18.6% £1500 overdraft - solution?

HSBC have slyly increased my APR and I don't know how I can clear it as I only have £80 a month after bills/living expenses. I know you can't balance transfer overdrafts so does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks! :confused:

    I know exactly how you feel...Have been paying up to £18 a month in OD fees and it is really p%$£ing me off!! I am looking at transferring to the A&L current account which offers to match your current overdraft at 0% for a year. Only catch (I think) is that you need to be in credit for a few days each month to qualify. Either that or get an Egg card and you can transfer an overdraft. Hope that helps,
