Everything you need to know
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.
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:
This type of lending is not only irresponsible — it may be grounds for a compensation claim.
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.

Yes. If you've relied on your overdraft long-term and the bank didn't properly assess affordability, you could be eligible to claim compensation.
Anything from 20% to 40% APR can be excessive. Some banks have charged over 80% APR — and if this happened while you were struggling financially, it may be unaffordable lending.
Yes. If your bank increased your overdraft limit without checking if you could afford it, that could be considered irresponsible — and you may have a valid claim.
Yes, you can still make a claim. If the overdraft was unaffordable at the time, you may be entitled to a refund of interest and fees — even if it’s now repaid.
Initiating a claim will not affect your current account or credit score. However, in the case of a successful claim, it is likely the overdraft facility will be removed by your lender.
