Alibaba Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I got my email on the 11the of December and as we were looking around I filled in all the details, which proved to be a waste of my time. I got three phone calls from three companies, to which I replied that I would prefer it all to be done online so I can reference all the information and not have to remember anything, which is difficult due to all the jargon they insist on using. Only one company bothered to quote at all, 2Gether insurance, but they chose to ignore the info I'd put in the online form so the quote was wrong to start with, they offered a good priced recovery too, but on asking three times via email all I got was it's our own, no more details than that. So if anyone reads this can they tell me what was the point in my filling in the form, if I wanted to do it on the phone, I'd ring round, and why does OAL support people who's task it seems is to waste peoples time.

Cliffy Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am confused. What Email did you get? What type of details did you give? What is OAL? Why didn't you use a comparison web site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't you use a comparison web site? Hi Cliffy, Email was a monthly one from OAL "out and about live" thought everyone knew that ;) ;) I gave mileage, vehicle details, name and address etc, the usual stuff you put on a comparison website which is what it purported to be.

Alibaba Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Can't post picture, not a puter nerd so not going to mess about reducing to 100kb, stupid limit anyway. Picture was screen grab of the email mentioned Here's a link to it, assuming I'm allowed, as I see no icons like other sites. https://www.dropbox.com/s/tnoiiu97l61ar0z/OAL%20email.png?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I've never had an e-mail either from OAL - are you sure it's from them ? ) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibaba Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Follow the link and you'll see it is, news@email.outandaboutlive.co.uk seems pretty conclusive. I got yet another call today, this time from from Advance insurance, quote was too high by over £100, and they slagged of the other quote I mentioned and said as soon as I rant to confirm it, the quote would go up.

Derek Uzzell Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I also get these emails and I think it’s probably because I’ve signed up to receive them in the past. The Out&AboutLive homepage https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/ has a “Sign up to our enewsletter” invitation at the top right, which may be significant.

Alibaba Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 We seem to be getting tied to the fact I get an email, the post is about why OAL send emails with a useless link in them and then I get phone calls when I'm at work, pointless, it also a heads up not to waste members time in clicking it.
