Bank of Scotland customers could face major changes in overdraft charges

From now on, all new customers at Bank of Scotland, Halifax and Lloyds will get a 29.9% representative overdraft rate – here's how that change could hit your wallet. Millions of banking customers are set to see a change in their overdraft charges, with some are in for a pleasant surprise, many could see their overdraft fees go up. Lloyds Banking Group, which includes Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland, is changing the way it charges interest on overdrafts. ‌ Currently, the group offers different overdraft rates based on your credit score. The different rates you can currently be offered include: 19.9%, 29.9%, 39.9% and 49.9%. The majority of customers have an overdraft rate of 39.9%, reports the Mirror. ‌ However, changes are being introduced over the next fe w days mean its representative overdraft rate - the one offered to at least 51% of new customers – will fall to 29.9%. As part of the changes, some customers could see their rate reduced, while other will see their cost go up. A spokesperson from Lloyds was unable to confirm how many customers will see their overdraft fees go up, but said "few" will see an increase. Anyone affected by the change will be contacted in due course. Anyone hit by a higher charge will be given 60 days' notice, while those lucky enough to get a cut will be told seven days in advance. If your rate is going up, Lloyds will introduce temporary tiers for six months. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

But it can be an expensive way to borrow money - check out our tips below for how to cut your costs. A Lloyds spokesperson said: "We know many customers find it helpful to have an overdraft there for life's unexpected costs and, to make that as affordable for our customers as possible, we're lowering the interest rate most customers typically pay when they use an overdraft. "This means the cost of using an overdraft will become cheaper for many, with Lloyds, Halifax and Bank of Scotland now offering one of the lowest representative overdraft rates on the market." ‌ How to cut your overdraft costs Overdrafts can be an expensive way to borrow money - if you're struggling, check if you're able to switch to an account with a 0% overdraft, providing you with more time to clear what you owe without being charged interest. Be sure to check if you're likely to be eligble first before you apply. Another alternative could be to look at a 0% money transfer card. These are a special type credit card that pays cash into your bank account, for a one-off fee. You would then use this money to pay off your overdraft, so you're not accruing more interest in overdraft fees. You should always make sure you can pay off your 0% money transfer card before your interest-free period is up - otherwise you'll start to be charged interest, which defeats the point of using this card.

Scots university principal resigns following damning financial crisis report

The University of Dundee announced last year it was wrestling with a £35 million black hole. The interim principal of the University of Dundee has resigned following a scathing report into the huge financial crisis that has rocked the institution. Professor Shane O'Neill - who took charge amid the universities turmoil - apologised to those impacted by the situation, which saw a £35 million black hole revealed last year. ‌ His resignation was announced juts minutes after a report by former Glasgow Caledonian University principal Professor Pamela Gillies slammed Prof O'Neill and former university leaders for their actions in the lead up to the announcement of the crisis. ‌ The report accused the university's executive group (UEG), which included the 'triumvirate' of Prof O'Neill, former principal Professor Iain Gillespie and ex-chief operating officer Jim McGeorge, of failing to 'properly respond to the worsening situation' and disclose the looming crisis to other university officials. Among the causes stated was a sharp drop in overseas postgraduate students and an overly ambitious growth agenda proposed by leaders. According to the report, the 'credibility and accuracy' of reports given to senior leaders regarding the financial situation were 'poor'. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It said: 'Information was neither collated nor presented in a manner that easily supported a complete, full and accurate understanding of the position on a timely basis. 'This applied equally to income and capital expenditure and their respective impacts on cash.' ‌ The report added senior officials at the university could have accessed such information 'with appropriate challenge'. In a statement, Prof O'Neill said: 'It is with a very heavy heart, having committed myself fully to the recovery process over these past months, that I have decided to step aside from my position and will be leaving the university. 'It is important that the university can move on and I recognise that this will be easier with new leadership. ‌ 'I have done all I can to set the university on a path to recovery, engaging with internal and external stakeholders to find the best way forward. 'I had hoped that we would be further along that path by now, and it will now be for others to steer that course into the future. 'I am truly sorry for the impact this financial crisis has had on many people, particularly our staff and students.' ‌ Acting chair of the university court Tricia Bey and the convener of the finance and policy committee, Carla Rossini, also announced on Thursday they will bring forward their departures and leave immediately. While there was criticism of the available information, the report did, however, find there was 'insufficient corroborated evidence' to suggest members of the executive team had sought to suppress information about the scale of the crisis, while there was 'circumstantial' evidence. The report concluded the internal systems of the university had 'laid the foundation' for the near-collapse of the institution. ‌ 'The magnitude of the financial situation the university properly identified from November 2024 and onwards was not simply a function of poor student recruitment over the preceding 15 months,' the report found. 'The ineffectiveness of internal systems and control in FY24 laid the foundations for the financial collapse in FY25.' Prof Gillespie – who left the university last year when news of the crisis became public – was also heavily criticised in the report. ‌ An email sent by the former principal in March of last year, claiming the university was 'moving into a surplus position', was described as 'misleading' by the report, while his management style was criticised, particularly in how he dealt with women. Prof Gillies's report found: 'A considerable proportion of submissions from individuals from across the spectrum of roles in the university covering professional, administrative and academic positions commented on the way in which dissent, or challenge, was routinely 'shut down', particularly by the principal who, we understand, did not welcome difficult conversations. 'Few dared to speak truth to power, although one member of UEG (VP (International)) is reported to have challenged the principal in a variety of different settings. ‌ 'Female members of staff in particular reported being spoken over, sidelined or discussed in public as being obstructive if they attempted to be heard, and there were reports that the university policy on dignity and fairness was not upheld in a number of instances.' The vice-president referenced was former Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander. ‌ Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth said there are 'serious questions' to be answered, pledging to give an update to Holyrood next week on the report and any future Government support. 'It is evident from the findings that there are serious questions which must be answered by the University of Dundee's management team,' she said. 'This is obviously a difficult time for the university but I welcome the decisive action which has been taken with the changes in leadership. ‌ 'It is vital that we now move to a period of stability to ensure the institution can move forward and thrive into the future. 'The report recognises the vibrant community of committed staff and students – they remain our priority during this challenging period. 'Whilst the university is an autonomous institution which is ultimately responsible for decision-making around it's day to day operations, the Scottish Government will do everything possible to secure a positive future for Dundee.'

The road improvement project in Llandeilo would see the introduction of a one-way system to improve journey times, increase safety and reduce pollution, it says. Still in its planning states, the government has said it plans to build a new bypass to resolve transport issues in Llandeilo and Ffairfach, creating a one-way system in Rhosmaen Street to make more room for pedestrians, which would make it easier for people to walk and cycle, to access existing bus and rail services, and improve resilience to flooding.

"In 2024, the cabinet secretary for transport and north Wales approved the preferred option and agreed to commission consultants to develop the next stage of the project. "Following the appointment of its employer's agent, Welsh Government will now move to procuring a contractor to design, finalise the business case and draft orders in relation to the scheme.
