Is Resolver legit?

So I decided to use your advertised (endorsed?) Resolver PPI claim service a couple of weeks ago and eventually cancelled the process after filling in the majority of the form after realising I simply didn’t know enough information to go ahead. I expected to hear from the company afterwards, and sure enough I received an email explaining I could continue with the process should I wish, etc., etc. However, what I didn’t expect to receive was a letter through the post a few days later from a seemingly totally unrelated company urging me to make a PPI claim, followed by numerous (approx 8, 2 today alone) telephone calls to my landline from different numbers, none of which left a message.
I have only been living at this address 4 years and have never given my landline number out. I had also never received unsolicited calls or mail regarding PPI prior to using the Resolver service.
What’s going on please? This cannot be just coincidence.

Resolver does harvest your data but it is sold on an aggregated basis only.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only.

Well its pretty obvious to me that my data has without doubt been sold on and Im not happy about that at all. I didnt even complete the process.
I only used Resolver because it was advertised on this site and (wrongly) assumed it could be trusted as a result. Ive now had my trust in MoneySavingExoert completely shaved .0 -

I'm no fan of Resolver (or any third party involvement in free PPI complaints), but I can't help suspecting that this is a coincidence.Nanny2Nurse wrote: »Well its pretty obvious to me that my data has without doubt been sold on and Im not happy about that at all. I didnt even complete the process.
Resolver sells aggregated data harvested anonymously and makes no secret of this.
What would be the point of providing a free E-Mail complaint template service if the customer's details were then provided to a Claim Management Company?
So I'm not convinced.0 -
I agree. This is not Resolver causing "individual" marketing. The data is not sold in a way that it can identify you personally.
Did you fill in anything on a website about making a complaint or use a different method?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).
