From what i gather if you dont go over the limit, all it is they will take it from your next wage. say you earn £1500 they'll take you to £1000 but its fine because you still have the £500 overdraft to cover.

I doubt it has to be paid off in a certain amount of time but unless its a student one id imagine you'll be paying interest on it so the sooner the better

The bank can ask for the money back whenever they like. It's in the small print.

But it's in thier interest to keep you in the red as they make money off of it. So they wont ask for it back unless there are certain circumstances.

as long as you have regular income going in and use of the account your ok but if you were to take the overdraft then the account just lay dormant then as ed says they will just ask for the money back

I'm with Lloyds TSB and it wasnt till recently that i found out that i pay intrest on the overdraft. I have a £300 limit, but its only the first £50 thats intrest free. I mean the intrest is only pence but i thought you only got charged for goin over your agreed limit.

its normal to get charged interest on an overdraft its arranged borrowing
you get charged more if you go over because then it becomes unarranged borrowing
