It might be your email address
but you are not the policy holder. You are not named on the policy. Your wife gave them your email address to write to, but those emails are for your wife, not you.

It's the DPA. Serious shit. Talking to you without permission of your wife, could cost someone their job. Frankly, it's a risk most of us aren't really prepared to take.

Roles
It's perfectly possible for the policyholder not to be a named driver, or not to be the main driver.

If you are not a named policyholder, then they are quote within their rights
to refuse to discuss the policy. So if you are just a named driver (as opposed to a named policyholder) then no, we will not talk to you.

Sadly not
I dealt with the whole thing throughout. My wife never went near the computer, or phone. I wouldn't want to get anyone in trouble or lose their job. I was merely commenting upon the apparent paradox of communicating with someone to the point of delivery, then them saying "Oops sorry sir".

Is all. No big deal, and it's sorted, but thanks anyway.

Because the moment that policy goes live
the policy is hers, not yours. It's a bit difficult with online quotes etc, and sometimes we have to trust that the pixels are who they say they are - but over the phone, it is tough. It happens a lot when people deal with quotes on behalf of their parents or children. At the point of cover I will only take instruction from the policyholder, as I do business over the phone.
