Bank Defaults (charges)

I am aware that banks have a standard charge for unauthorised borrowing and unpaid direct debits, etc, resulting from this, whether intentional or accidental. Does anyone know if there is a limit on these charges per month?

LLoyds Bank as an example , when you go overdrawn on your credit limit without agreeing first with them will charge £30, and then will charge you this amount each day your overdraft increases by £10 or more.
They do this to a maximum of £90 each month.
They will also charge a higher rate of interest when you go over the agreed credit limit at 2.2% per month or a equivalent annual rate(EAR) of 29.85% . This is an increase from the agreed charge of 1.21% and EAR of 15.53% . Practically double ........

Watch your a/c so not to incur these unreasonable bank charges as it is a nice earner for them ..
