They're offering the best interest rates, but who the hell would I be giving my money to? Alcohlics Anon? Automobile Assoc?
I've tried searching the net, but I can't find anything.

    When I rang 'em yesterday I was greeted by an automatic warning about credit reference checks. When the operator came on the first thing he wanted know was whether I heard it, and was I happy. I said "is there any disavantage to me?" and he changed the subject. When he asked again, so did I, and I got a mumbled "er, no, not really"!
    Sounds ominous to me. :-)
    (P.S. How on earth did you find 'em? I googled "AA" and their phone no. but got nothing.)
