  • Aviva Insurance Car Accident Details stolen

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-26291075

    Ok, I had better tell you a story and this one is a good one.

    My mother received a letter last week stating that she had had her details sold and that the person concerned had been sacked and police involved.

    That might have explained that one weekend when my mother was not home I took a call there from a claims handler stating that my mother was entitled to money. She had had a crash within the time period, however, she was 100% responsible as I am not sure that the bollard not moving is really classed as it's fault .

    He stated to me, despite me asking a number of times, so my mother is entitled to money when she was at fault for the accident. When he continued to insist that it was true, I told him that he was a liar and that if any of it was true then he can send something IN WRITING to my mother's address.

    Needless to say, we never heard from him ever again(I might have possibly downplayed how I attacked him but my brother was laughing his head off at the conversation ).

    "A letter from Aviva told him what happened, that the relevant authorities had been informed, and that no medical or financial details had been stolen.
    It put the blame for the breach firmly on the claims industry: "As you may be aware, some personal injury lawyers and claims management companies are very keen to acquire accident victims' details. Aviva has long called for stricter regulation of these firms."

    Somehow, I don't think that is going to cut much ice with the ICO. Will Aviva be the first insurance company scalp the ICO takes? Unless, of course, someone knows differently.
    Life is a journey on which we all travel, sometimes together, but never alone.

      My mother's letter stated that they had contacted the ICO plus the FCA as a result and that there is police involvement.
