to confiscate her bank card?

Today I opened the October bank statement of my eldest DD (19) and was horrified to discover that she was overdrawn by £280, had been charged nearly £90 in authorised and unauthorised overdraft charges, had accrued over £40 so far this month in charges, and she had received a payday loan of £100 from a well known online payday loan company earlier in October.

She is only on apprentice pay of £2.60 per hour! I have now nearly killed myself to pay off her payday loan and overdraft. With back up from my DH I have confiscated her bank card until I get all my money back as I thought it was the cheapest option for her. She was in floods of tears tonight in embarrassment and at losing her independence.

I don't really know what else I could have done. AIBU?

Going off the OP: She's a year younger than me, she is not a child. Its hard to say because she's your daughter but she needs to sort her own crap out. I did! I got into trouble with pay day loans and lived in my overdraft but I got myself out of it.

And don't open her mail, thats ridiculous.

For gods sake why was this brought back?
