What Is an Overdraft and Why It Matters

An overdraft allows you to temporarily borrow money through your current account, typically used to cover short-term shortfalls. But for millions in the UK, overdrafts have become a long-term financial burden.

According to the FCA, over 15 million people in the UK use an overdraft — and many are paying extremely high interest rates, between 20% and 40%, with some banks charging over 80% APR.

Relied on overdrafts, credit cards or loans

While overdrafts were designed as a short-term safety net, banks have frequently extended large credit limits without checking if customers could afford to repay them. This is known as irresponsible lending — and it's a growing problem.

Many customers have:

  • Lived in their overdraft for years, unable to get out
  • Received multiple limit increases despite struggling with debt
  • Relied on credit cards or loans just to cover essentials

This type of lending is not only irresponsible — it may be grounds for a compensation claim.

You Might Be Eligible if:

  • You were frequently in your overdraft and struggled to get out of it
  • Your bank increased your overdraft limit without checking if you could afford it
  • You relied on your overdraft as part of your income
  • You received letters or calls about missed payments or arrears
  • You were charged fees for going over your limit or maintaining an overdraft you couldn't pay back

Why Make an Overdraft Claim?

  • Get back money you were unfairly charged — interest, fees, and more
  • Stop further interest and fees from building up
  • Get relief from financial stress and restore control

How Much Could I Get Back?

Many people receive refunds between £1,000 and £3,000 for overdraft claims, though some have received even more. For example, The Guardian reports cases of refunds as high as £8,000.
