PPI Company Information

Can anybody help me find out where these PPI claim back companies are obtaining their information?
I recently received a call from "claims advisory service" and the adviser was able to tell me the date of my agreement, whom it was with, my address and contact number. I would like to know where they would get this information.
Your help would be gratefully appreciated.

Generally they dont have any information but guess and steer the conversation to get you to give the information up.
However, suggestions exist that quite a lot of ex financial services staff have sold data unlawfully. Some claims companies have directors that were on failed companies that had client data and are now unlawfully using it.
Secured loan data is in the public domain as it appears on your deeds and you can buy that data now.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
Thank you for your reply. Is there anyway I can stop them randomly using my information? As they do not have my consent.0

They are apparently using your information to entice you to sign up with them.Thank you for your reply. Is there anyway I can stop them randomly using my information? As they do not have my consent.
Little else they can do "randomly" if you refuse to be their customer and you'd have to provide proof that they actually have your information if you wanted to report them to the MOJ etc.0
