Comparison Websites!
Selling my details to all and sundry!! :mad:
I get a call every single night now offering me everything from Cavity Wall Insulation to a new Power Supplier!! I am on the Telephone Preference list too! Just had a call tonight and found out that it's the comparison website which is distributing my details!! Fuming! :mad: |
Theyre parasites. Surey it was obvious that putting your correct details in was an error of judgement?
|
I always put in mock details and then if I find one at a price I like, I go direct and barter.
I think there should be a price comparison price comparison website that compares all the price comparison websites called www.f#ckedifiknow.com :D |
I always put my next door neighbours details in, he butchered my conifer in the summer, this is the least I can do for him.
|
In what way are they parasites? If you don't have the nouse to tick/untick the "please do/don't spam me to death" box, then you deserve all you get.
If you don't like comparison sites, feel free to research whichever product you're looking at in your own time. Notorious "getting his pay from a parasite" REV |
Oh yes, the mock details I put in are for a neighbouring house with names like Marion Megamuff, Percy Penistickler etc...

I do think they ignore any request to keep your details private! :mad: |

Yes, an error of judgement I guess - but I distinctly ticked the 'No Contact' box, as I always do.

I thought that any list should be compared (sorry for the pun) to the Telephone Preferrence list?
|
It should.
|
I always put the correct address, but a made up number.
There must be loads of people in my area that have been getting calls instead of me :lol1: |
Nope, if you submit your phone number and the usage is spelt out to you, the TPS are helpless i.e. you opted to allow your details to be used by either ticking or not unticking the box.
Of course, less scrupulous sites use dodgy wording to catch people out "untick this box if you don't agree to us not selling your details to all and sundry" |

You know some of these comparison websites do credit checks on the sly too? A few years ago I got my credit report with loads of these searches on when I'd been looking for new car insurance, always put in duff details now.
Admiral & Elephant were on there too, they do them every time you try for a quote, cheeky feckers |

Admiral and Elephant come chasing you relentlessley for your business.
Performance Insurance were chasing me too - they had a reasonable quote, but £750 XS!!! :rolleyes: |
