After some not so great experiences with the NHS over the past few years I've been giving some thought to private health care. I did a cursory Google which brought up a website offering to give you quotes from all of the well known ones, AXA(?) Vitality, Bupa. Etc. I had no intention of signing up for anything and only wanted some info for the time being.
I filled in the short form expecting to see the quotes there and then but nope, a pop up saying a representative will be in touch shortly. Great.
A well spoken chap called me the next morning asking a few questions for the purpose of getting a quote and said there was no obligation to sign up now. I explained that I'm currently having treatment with the NHS for an existing condition so wouldn't be looking to take out a policy right now anyway and only wanted to know the numbers
The man has not stopped calling. He has left a voicemail and re-sent an email twice.
I had my DH answer the phone on two occasions to see whether it was him or somebody else and upon hearing that it was him he simply hung up.
The man called again today and I reiterated that I do not want to take out a policy right now, then he wants to know when I'd be thinking of taking one out.
Well I'm not now, not through him anyway.
What the hell is that about? Is that the norm? Does he rely on commission?
