Looks like someone just googled and then realised how little he actually knew about the topic of conversation.
An overdraft, arranged or not is entirely different from a loan. For one thing, a loan is charged by arrangement fees and an APR, whereas overdrafts you pay in fees and interest. If you need the difference between APR and interest explained to you, you are probably beyond hope. In the UK credit legislation has the intended effect of making unintentional overdrafts the same as intentional overdrafts, unfortunately there is some way to go.
You are also very unlikely to get an overdraft that is subject to a settlement arrangement.
Do I have to explain why rich people do not take out loans or retail credit, or can I go back to ignoring you again?
Somebody explain me banking (not you, Rick)
