Morning all, I had a rather strange phone call yesterday afternoon on my mobile number from a company calling themselves CTS Lawyers. The call was about the accident I had. Obviously under normal circumstances I would immediately think that the company is on a 'fishing trip' and would tell them to go away. The odd thing about this was that firstly the number was withheld. Secondly he knew my name, but the significance here is that 4 years ago my name changed due to civil partnership. He asked for me by my previous name. Furthermore, he said that my details had been passed to them via some broker, though he wouldn't tell me who, AND that it was about a rear-shunt accident in a car we owned 5 years ago. It's all rather strange. According to the ICO, they have a company called DBS Law Ltd which trades under several names, one of them being ClaimsToday Solicitors, being based in Broad Street Birmingham. The receptionist told me that CTS Lawyers is one of their trading names, though when someone called me back he denied this and stated that they have an ongoing Police investigation regarding an outfit potentially using their name. The DVLA confirmed yesterday that the car is no longer registered in my civil partner's name. As I said earlier, normally I would just discount this type of call, but it was the fact that he seemed to know pertinent information about me and the vehicle, which being slightly paranoid makes me wonder if someone is or has attempted to make a fraudulent insurance claim with my details. On the back of this, I have contacted the Motor Insurance Bureau, and a manager there told me that could search against their database to see if they hold any records of an insurance claim made in my name or against the vehicle. I should add that I haven't had an accident since 1995. Can anyone think of anything else that I may have missed? More importantly if there is anyone out there that has had a similar call from a company calling themselves CTS Lawyers? TIA.
