A few months ago I tried one of the popular on-line car insurance companies for a quote (Gocompare.com) and ever since I now get on average 2 or 3 emails a day and 2 or 3 letters per week now offering me insurance.
So apart from repeatedly selecting the link not to be contacted again, none of this seems to make any difference.
(except obviously to confirm I have received their junk)
I now intend to complete all questionnaires explaining my full medical condition of:
Epilepsy
Heart problems
Thrombosis
Blind
One leg
Asthma
Low Blood Pressure
Partially deaf
Anxiety attacks
Plus one or two other symptoms which are more of a delicate mature.

When Double Glazing was all the rage with cold calling.
I always made an appointment for a quote for a Friday at 6:30PM
Because thats when the landlord comes to collect the rent I would tell them.
Guess what, they never turned up and no more calls from that company either.
They know landlords will not pay for double glazing.
