Bogus Call

Hi
Just had a strange phone call a company saying they are trying to get peoples credit cards down to 0% in line with current rate drops, I was rather busy and stupidly admitted I had balances, told them with which co's and apprx balance and that they were more than welcome to send the info but refused to give any further info. So they have my name and address and who my cards are with but no further info, he really pushed for my DOB and this was when I said no way, I do not give personal info to strangers send any info to me and I will call you
I now realise this must be a scam, have I given away to much info already, they do not have any acc no's or card no's etc.
Any advice appreciated.
