Over the Limit


 

Five clients of the Bank of Hoofle had got themselves into a pickle with their accounts. They had all exceeded their overdraft limits and had received letters, all in the same week, from the bank to this fact.

Can you find the name of each client, how much their overdraft is, how much over their overdraft limit they were and which day of the week they received their letter?

Overdraft limits: £50, £75, £100, £150, £200.
Overdraft exceeded by: £25, £50, £75, £100, £150.
Day letters were received: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.

The person with the overdraft limit of exactly £50 more than Samantha's overdraft limit received their letter 1 day after the person that exceeded their overdraft by £50, which is not Alex.

The letter that arrived on Friday showed a higher amount exceeded over the overdraft than that of the letter received on Tuesday, but a lesser amount exceeded over the overdraft than the letter received on Wednesday.

William wasn't too happy to find out that he had exceeded his overdraft limit by exactly 100%.

Samantha's overdraft limit, not £150, was the same as the amount she had exceeded her overdraft by; she received her letter two days before Jasmine.

The person with the £200 overdraft limit received their letter the day before the person with an overdraft of £75.

Christine did not exceed her overdraft limit by £75 and did not receive her letter on a Monday.

Alex, whose nights at the local pub had caused his overdraft to exceed his limit, received his letter later in the week than Jasmine.
