Well it *could*. But it could also be related to the t/f of Aviva
business - see

Paper or virtual letter?
They send me paper from time to time despite me telling them I can't read
printed matter any more. I often think there is some robot in charge of some
of these companies or they never actually read their screens.
Not seen anything lately.

'Er indoors had on paper recently something about Aviva consoplidating
their non-life insurance business from several companies into 2. This
means they need to tell all their customers just in case some want to
object. Reading between the lines of the PDF to which I posted a link
they are not sure just who their customer are - which is not too
surprising given the likely changes of names and addresses.

These consolidations of insurance business are subject to massive
regulatory oversight - and in my limited experience not of the "light
touch" banking variety. I've always taken the view that challenging one
would take even my paranoia into foil hat and underpants territory.

You are of course right. My fuck-up. I didn't check the date as it
seemed to chime with what 'er indoors asked about recently - see my
other post. I'll ask her later if she's still got it.

I had one about a now ex-employee who had been selling on details of
Aviva policyholders who had been involved in motor vehicle accidents to
companies offering to sue for personal injury compensation. (Not really
relevant to me, as my car was parked and empty in a car park when
somebody scraped the bumper). I don't recall the actual wording though.

I've not had one of those from them - but I *have* had a couple of
emails from them at times of gales and floods, etc. reminding me what to
do if I need to claim on my household policy. Luckily, I haven't needed
to - so far - but I was reasonably impressed nevertheless.

She hasn't - and reply included "I asked you about it last week when I
was sorting stuff out but it came mumble, mumble ago." I'd give her a
clout round the head if that weren't now ganz verboten.
