Info used comparison site sent to accident helpline

Greetings all,

Like most of us I get 3 or 4 calls a week of this nature however last Fri shopping to renew the insurance I took a guess at an accident date usually just put the month but this was a specific date & only time I have done this.

10 mins ago I receive a phone call from accident help line about my accident on this date - so only 1 place this came from -

Boxes ticked as always - Im pretty astounded/miffed

Normal forget it ? Or what do you all think ?

    Report it to the The Information Commissioner's Office?

    And that is why I always put a false telephone number down when using comparison sites, 0123456789 seems to work fine. And no I don't get 3 or 4 calls a year let alone a week.

    Did you actually read all the small print in the Terms and Conditions? I avoid the comparison web sites because they will sell your details on to anyone who wants them.
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
