Bank Charges

What's the deal with this, I thought the rules on what the banks could charge was changing?

HSBC have charged me £50 for going £8.62 into an unauthorised overdraft.

Seems a bit steep and I doubt that error on my part has cost them the nicely rounded figure of £50. If it was £5 or even £10 I'd just pay it because it is MY fault, yet I don't think they should be making profit out of this, which I really suspect they are.

Can I get the amount reduced?
