Response to Tracing letter?

from pendle (pendle@amun-ra.demon.co.uk)
Well HPIS do have a web site at www.hpis.co.uk and they sell insurance. Sounds innocent enough, but I also looked them up on the data protection register (www.dpr.gov.uk) and amongst other things, they also use data for "statistical and research analysis" and their sources and disclosures (who they get information from and who they give it to) includes banks, buildings societies and credit reference agencies!!!

Another category they are registered for is "Trading in Personal Information" which basically means they get your information and sell it to other companies. Again, banks, building societies and credit reference agencies are included.

HPIS are probably a genuine company. They probably have several mailouts a year to get business.

Don't panic. Do what everyone else does with junk mail - throw it away.
