    I don't know about you, but i don't go firing off random searches.

    If using a search engine (gocompare for e.g.) I enter in a false name, correct DOB, false telephone, correct car reg.

    Anything they can use to identify me is incorrect - because you get no end of telephone calls.

    Once i get a quote i like, i go direct to that website with the information & enter it. It's often the same or cheaper (i've found) & this is when i put in full correct information.

    Result - less/no annoying phone calls.

    Yeah come on - I am also rather traumatised by that vicious assault.

    Also, Natfeerik, have you any idea what you're are talking about?
    Not sure why you two are posting with comments on two year old posts ? Maybe because you saw this thread as having a new post by a new member and didn't look at the date on the OP ;)

    Can anybody tell me why an insurance company that I have no dealings with whatsoever run regular checks on my identity/credit rating? I have a fraud check service through my bank that has made me aware of these checks and I want to know if there is any way I can stop them?
    Can you tell us about these entries? How many? By whom? What is the note next to them? Insurance? Unrecorded enquiry?
