Forum sponsored insurance links - WARNING!

[One Day]

I thought I'd do my part yesterday afternoon and use the sponsor's insurance comparison service for my PL insurance.
Big Mistake!
I completed the on-line bits about 3pm. I had my first phone call exactly 5 seconds later.
As of today - approx 24hrs later - 19 calls from various brokers and over 15 voicemails.

Just what you really don't need this time of year...

Now maybe I missed a tick box somewhere - so be careful!

Did you get a decent deal out of it though?

This is the same as pretty much every insurance broker website. Made that mistake many years ago and never repeated it! I give false contact details just to get the quotes and then if I want to proceed with an actual purchase I fill back out with correct details.

BTW now they have your details, expect more calls exactly 12 months from now when the database flags you're likely to be up for renewal

 

[Qwerty]

I have had the same and the calls are continuing well over a month after I did the online bit. I think I've blocked them all now!

I absolutely hate all insurance companies, I always put in my phone number with a digit Changed, until I'm ready to take out a policy then I own up and give them the right one.

I had the same issue with looking for a new Van I got a rubbish ton of calls from every man and his dog selling new vans

Hassled me for two days so far

I'm having words with the insurance firm already.

I've disabled the quote pages for everything but car and van. Which has the check boxes for no calls.

Earlier I emailed my guy and complained and he asked me to link him to the threads. I said they're in a private area and via pm and can't due to DPA if notmorals alone. So I said I've just filled one in with your mobile number lol

He got back a few hours later saying he's had 3 calls only.

I can't see this lasting if we can't get them to sort it out.

So far
