Phone is on TPS, despite this weekly nuisance calls, person did not identify or the company or the reason for the call. Must have had my number sold by Privilege insurance (Direct line subsidiary). Fraudulent insurance claims caller.

Was your insurance with Hastings Direct? I don’t want to cause any superstition but if they’ve been selling on details that’s really not good.

I was called on this number by Adam from Motor Assist, and had a lengthy conversation about some damage that happened to my car almost a year ago, to ‘gather some final information to close the case’. I spoke about how I was happy with the repair work but not with the customer service, and how I wasn’t happy about how I was given a much bigger car as I had to pay a lot more than usual for petrol especially as the repair took 4 weeks. He seemed lovely but then as soon as he asked ‘I believe you were in the car when the accident happened’ and I said that the car was parked and I was in a building next to it, the phone was put down. This makes me think it was an accident claim call.

I was called on this number by Adam from Motor Assist. He needed some final details to close my claim! A third party scraped & scuffed my car whilst it was parked in a car park and I was in the shop back in January. Adam said unfortunately I'd been in the car at the time. I've been asked this so many times so I said abuptly that I was not in the car. He then went on to ask, "Who was in the car?" I snapped back, "Nobody." Adam then hung up. Obviously fishing for an injury claim.
