This is just ridiculous. I went through Quidco Compare Van Insurance, which then went through VanInsurance.co.uk to be insured by Aviva.

How is CompareTheMarket allowed to send me an email like this?
Yet when I click ANY of the links on the email (as to whether I'm signed in with my account or not) this price or any of my details are NOT on their website and it makes me enter ALL of my details again, then the price is actually closer to £600.
