Yeah it's still.not great - means my outgoings are still going up despite a 50% reduction, what does that say!
Anyway I won't get this until October when I call back. Apparently there are letters going out nearer the time inviting customers to call them to discuss their options.
Anyway I am looking at either options bit in the meantime it's with the GPS who contacted me today to ask for the final letter from Halifax0 -
Good to know, thanks. I'm in the orange triangle club as well, but my overdraft is £1000. Hopefully will be able to get it down to a reasonable level if they offer me the same deal.0

Just looked at my statement - £45 charge this month on the previous charges so I hope I can sort something out - I am looking into a credit union loan next month as well - to shift the overdraft to if I can but I'm not finding credit easy to get at the moment.0 -
Ok so I have worked out my overdraft charges each month are going to be £106! I have managed to obtain a credit card with a money transfer interest rate of 19.7% so if I use the money transfer to pay off the overdraft can someone tell me how much the interest will be each month on a balance of £2400?
I cant get a loan unfortunately
Thanks in advance0 -

Thank you I thought so. I will be doing that then! These new overdraft charges are disgusting.0

Luckily I have just been accepted for HSBC switching offer (£200 payment for switching) and 0% overdraft £1000 for 6 months. I am using a 'switching' account so keeping the Halifax acct for now but will be able to reduce my overdraft to £1000 by October.
I had a reasonable pay rise (new job) this month too so will get it down to around £800 or just over. Sheer good timing otherwise I would have been calling Halifax. Not sure what to do about the account long term but they've forced me to nearly quit and run!0
