Co- Op Overdraft

Hi guys,

I have a £2k overdraft with the Co-Op that expires every year and I have to re-apply to renew it and have done so for the past few years. This year I applied and they refused to renew saying my payments into the account are erratic (its not my main account and they know that) and also they say I appear to be relying on my overdraft.

I have always stayed within limit and have cleared my overdraft numerous times and my financial situation is the same as before.

They have suggested phasing my overdraft down to £300 which is the account standard overdraft limit by me paying so much every month. If I agree to this will it affect my credit rating?

They said it won't but I don't trust them.
