At the moment the only spending money I have coming in goes into my hlafix account and its just my child benefit of £150 per month. DH takes care of most other things but doesn't give me any.
A couple of months ago I misjudged and slipped over my overdraft limit, by a few pounds. Since then I've had a few more items go through but they've all been under £20. Trouble is Halfiax has charged me £35 for each item plus £28 for going over my limit. I gritted my teeth and figured I'd have to write off most of my child benefit last month. On the first I made a paypal payment of £7. Just got another letter saying I will get the same charges. I thought my CB would cover it but they have taken so much in charges that they have taken more than my child benefit and the same will happen when they debit these charges too.
I just can't see how they can justify charging so much. OK I should manage my account better but I only slipped up by a few pounds and they've taken about £200 for me so far.
Feel really depressed as I just can't seem to get on top of it.
