    i pay way more interest on my credit card than my overdraft... when my over draft is usually more than my cards!

    cards are evil! :(

    cards are only good when they're zero percent..

    ive just had to increase my over draft to £1350 so ive got enough cash about to pay a £700 deposit on next years car insurance, plus 11 payments of £63 or sumthing

    insurance monthly payments were working out @ 34.2% intrest and thats fuckin scandelous, so i stuck the OD up and got rid of a big chunk to soften the blow

    i think my over draft is 9.9%?? intrest?

    cheaper then 34.2% and cheaper then the 14% i was offerd as a £1500 loan

    They last for longer than a year after you graduate. Its not normally a problem renewing it every year. Banks are much willing to give you an overdraft when you're not a student which I found a bit strange

    I don't have an overdraft cos I don't need one. Used to and it took ages to pay off.

    Don't have credit cards or store cards and only have one loan which has less than £300 to pay :D :D
