A couple of weeks back I received the renewal quotation for my multicar insurance policy, so a couple of days ago I decided to cross-quote with the insurer LV, which has been recommended by a few friends. I completed the tedious online form on LV's web site, which included providing details of a couple of non-fault incidents in the previous few years.

The costs from LV were pretty close to my current inspirer and I couldn't be bothered to switch.

Yesterday and this evening I have taken blah-blah calls from either the same, or different, claims management companies stating that I recently provided details of non-fault claims, with the subsequent invitation to speak to advisor about recovery of costs, whatever.

I don't believe in coincidences.

It appears that now even an insurance quotation is a potential earner for insurers; by passing-on data to parasitic, para-legal low-lifes, I imagine there's an intro' bung to start off, with the possibility of a kick-back if the lead turns into an earner.

Punters money in motor insurance must be in a revolving door...

 

Its quite distasteful i agree

owt for a dollar

the yank banks have been flogging customer data for decades. I find a loud whistle down the blower puts them off.

 

Alternatively I ask the caller for his / her name and say



You were the 3rd involved weren't you - I'm so glad you called as I have been trying to contact you to sue you.....

 

I had a theft claim earlier in the year. Only 2 companies were given my mobile number, Adrian Flux and the underwriter, Equity Redstar.
Que months of calls from endless fecking companies. I wrote a very rude letter to both Flux and Redstar but my suspicion is that flux sold the details on.

If I ever need to make a claim again I'm going to buy a pay as you go sim

 

For quite a while now I've been considering getting one of these
