Overdrafts are silly

I have a £1,000 interest free overdraft on my student back account. They will increase it if I ask them. Halifax will give me a £2,750 overdraft. They are just throwing money at me.

Yet when I apply for a comparatively small overdraft of only £100 on my non-student current account, the application gets declined even after I tell them I have a job!

Lloyds TSB informed me that based on the information I had provided them I had been declined. Even though they hadn't asked my any questions about my income. How does that work?
