Just been back to the database, you still have 01902 302935 in the main, (verified), base, this number as I said above is unobtainable.

Thanks for pointing this out; I have now removed that entry (really, I have!). I composed my posting and then forgot to amend the database! Embarrassed

029 2078 1145 in the unverified base, is for Birmingham Midshires, and as said above, they will not/cannot transfer to AA Savings.
14102920781145 in the unverified is as above but with 141 before it? same result will apply,(my number is permanently withheld, so don't need 141, and they never asked where I was calling from).

I normally withhold my number when working on alternatives for the database, but I've just tried these numbers (01902 398411 and 029 2078 1145) and now and they both reject me and cite that they are for international customers only. Lips Sealed

I have therefore added a note to these entries:

Withhold your number (using 141 if necessary)

01422 380880 in the unverified base is answered as HBSO switch board, and as it is closed now offers amongst others,the www.halifax.co.uk website!

I have removed the unverified entries for 0845 603 6302 which gave this number and the 029 number as an alternative. We now have no AA Savings alternative listed at all.

Have tried asking AA Savings for a landline number and received the follwing response after waiting a WEEK :-

Thank you for your email.

It is the policy of AA Savings that all calls to our Savings and Investments Call Centre are made to an 0845 number.

[i]The use of this type of number provides us with greater options for routing and monitoring of calls which cannot be serviced by a normal 01902 number. We also use an 0845 number so that all of our customers pay the same amount to call AA Savings, irrespective of their location in the country.

The use of an 0845 number is in line with the majority of major savings providers.

If you require further assistance please call our AA Savings Team on 0845 603 6302 for assistance. Lines are open 8.00am to 8.00pm Monday-Saturday.

I hope this information is helpful.[/i]

NO - IT ISN'T!

Anyone tried emailing and giving their number - asking THEM to phone YOU?
Do they CARE about you giving them business?

Birmingham Midshires are clearly one to avoid. Like many, they choose not to acknowledge the fact that it is subsidy from callers that provide the "greater options for routing and monitoring of calls". Living in cloud cuckoo land, they are blissfully unaware that geographic calls cost the same, no matter where abouts in the country one is calling. It is therefore beyond the realms of possibility for them to understand that the retail cost of calling 0845 numbers is now generaly higher than that of geographic calls due to the payment of that subsidy.

As they can't work that out, don't trust them with your money!!!

AA Savings - alternative to 0845 603 6302
Reply #20 - Aug 21^st, 2010 at 3:48pm

Hi All

I was just wondering if anyone could suggest an alternative to the above listed number. I've checked those already listed on "Say no..." and they are for Birmingham Midshires/HSBC loans only.

The problem is that they keep you on hold for a long while which is costly on 0845.

Any alternative landline not freefone numbers (as they are "special numbers" on a mobile Sad

) would be great.

Thanks

Hi and welcome to SAYNOTO0870.COM.

We have covered this one a number of times this year and I have spent considerable time finding alternatives for Birmingham Midshires (including AA and Saga Savings), and each time they have been disabled.

There are a number of dial through services using geographic numbers that allow connection to 0800/0808/0500 "freephone" numbers. Try 020 0222 0900 or 0800Buster. Wink
