It might be that. At one time when working I had a pretty large (for me)
overdraft limit on the same account. Having been retired for some time now
and never having needed to go overdrawn, it's been reduced to a few
hundred. Not quite enough for safety in this instance.

Many years ago I took out a bridging loan from GE Finance, very easy to
do and paid it back without an early termination fee. Does this sort of
thing not exist any more? Its been my experience that high street banks
are the last place to look except for payday loan sharks of course.

A straight overdraft would have been ideal in my case as it might well not
be needed - or paid off very quickly.
