Overdraft

Just had a letter from bank they are reducing my overdraft, after a review, from a high to lower one because i don't use it. Had this for a number of years and never had it reduced before.
Does this have any impact with other lender's or credit agency's or indeed with my own bank. I have very good CC limit's.

With big CC limits reduction in some overdraft limit will hardly make any difference. And, if you don't carry balances on your CCs, the difference, if any, can be positive only.0

No this won't be negative because your overall available credit has reduced. Some banks review overdrafts annually. I sometimes use my overdrafts for just a day just to keep it 'active' as I want the emergency facility.0

Granting facilities does cost banks money indirectly. Reducing used ones is prudent. Has no impact on you what so ever.0
