      My full name, DOB, gender, postal address, phone number, email address, VIN number, reg number.

      That would probably explain the spam calls, texts and emails the last few days.

      I miss my oul rover lol

        I have replied to them calling out that my contract was with them and not their contractors and asked how they plan to compensate me financially as now I understand where from the spike in nuisance calls comes from.

        I guess they will ignore or reply some nonsense.

          Yeah never thought about the fact that it was a third party. Mind probably buried in the T&C’s that they will/can do it.

          The funniest call was this morning. I don’t answer numbers I don’t recognise unless I’m expecting a call. So a voice message was left in what sounded like am Asian Chinese accent with the worst broken English I’ve heard telling me I need to do x y z as my insurance with my GP had run out.

            Register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). It won’t fully block,  but will significantly reduce this nonsense.

                I had the email from Renault today telling me

                The third-party provider established that your data was included, which means the attackers have access to some or all of the following information:

                First name & surname

                Gender

                Phone number

                Email address

                Postal address

                Vehicle Identification Number

                Vehicle registration number
                We do not hold any financial details for you, so no bank details formed part of the cyber-attack.

                The email looks genuine, but
                Thing is I’ve never owned a Renault 🤭🤭🤭
