A bit angry this morning.

A bit angry this morning. The referencing company sent a text saying I needed to call to 'discuss the next steps of our process'. I phone and it turns out to be an insurance sales thing. What the shit. I tried not to be terse with the sales guy, but holy shit. It took a while just to get him to admit this was a sales call. I was clear with him that I found that the text message was misleading. I'm not paying (minimum of) a tenner a month to 'protect' my deposit. What utter predatory bullshit.

Especially not for max £5k of cover. That covers fuck all.

They have home contents insurance too, max of £10k. My partner's wheelchair would be a giant chuck of that by itself. Yeah, I'll stick with my current insurer.

While we were filling in the form they tried to get me to sign up to be sold broadband deals and expensive removals services. I have a strong feeling that anything bundled up in something like this is going to be a complete rip off. Nothing I've seen so far has given evidence to the contrary.

I'm still angry about the way the call was phrased. I know this is just a normal aggressive sales technique, but the way the guy phrased it made it sound like it was a requirement. Also angry they got me to call them. The fucking nerve!

I'm guessing in about 20 years this will be the subject of one of those class action mis-sold insurance things.

Jesus, making you call them to then do sales at you is a new low.

I've stopped caring about being polite to people trying to sell me stuff, esp cold callers. If they don't like people being rude to them, they can get a more useful job.
