	HALIFAX – have two savings accounts. One you can only save £3000 a year hence the reason for the other one. Have a bank account with them too as my mortgage goes through it. It was easier to set it up from that account as my mortgage is with the HALIFAX. Lloyds TSB – have two accounts with them. One I leave money in per month for bills otherwise I would end up in trouble.

I have two accounts with Lloyds TSB and another three with the HALIFAX and both banks state they can ask for the money on demand. I'm assuming that if you don't have enough money going into the account each month then they would ask for it back. I have a lot of accounts :lol: and i use them all :!

All in all its not worth racking up a large O/D unless you can pay it back. Not all students have a student loan.

	It depends which bank, natwest who im currently having problems with, said its £1250 for the first year then goes up to £1500 second year etc etc, they never told me i had to make 4 transactions a quarter, now they have shut down my account and issued me a court summons to repay the debt. When i went into my uni branch to sort this they were most un helpful and im extremely upset as they ill advised me on the account. So this year i pay all my loans and fees into and out of the same account, this time there direct debits havent cleared 3 days before they need to go out so there charging me £38.00 each time. To say im not happy is an understatement, i intend to pay this debt off asap, and close the account as it helped me when i needed it last year. best thing is to speak to the bank, if youre not in full time education im sure the interest rates will change and they will begin to sting you :lol: im sticking with the abbey as i have never had a problem in 20 years of banking with 3 diferent types of account

	well i've got 2 student accounts, and everyone said you couldn't have more than 1. the banks haven't noticed or bothered to tell me anything so screw it! just bare in mind that at any point the bank can demand all the overdraft back in full!

I wish people wouldn't post as if they are 100% correct when they are talking rubbish.

They never shut your account they just decrease the overdraft limit and make it not interest free.

	Can anyone advise me on the following, i'm currently in uni and have opened a student bank account with interest free overdraft for 3 years, I activated it yesterday so now my account is active, but now im quitting uni.. the course just isn't my thing. What happens if I use the overdraft and account & i'm not actually in uni anymore? Thanks guys.. :thumbs:
