Hi well the story i have is four A4 pages so will not fit in here. Suffice to say went through what i thought would be ORG202 quote and ended up taking 4 hours of my time.  After I bought Car insurance 18 Dec 2018 via ORG41 I got hit with a form asking for my National Insurance Number. Never been asked that before and does seem Over the Top.  Now on High Alert who would want to give away your National Insurance Number to strangers (thought that was for Government Agencies) had me concerned and did some homework. Seems this question has been asked before maybe since 2014 from what I have read via the internet. Must be behind the times never heard of this myself. Okay still concerned do not want to give away my NI Number to anyone it ties in to my Finance and pension and identity. And what with all the things that i try to protect myself from like dodgy phone calls from persons trying to rip you off by you by saying they are BT and ORG50 the list goes on. So Yes i am concerned about giving away MY NI number. Tried to get some information out of ORG41 and that was a disaster they had not heard of the NI number form for Car insurance.  Went to Car Insurance company and asked them about the NI number. They said yes right enough they need this hymn (Still do not want to give away my NI number would rather cancel insurance in my mind) after asking a few more questions I finally got another way to send the NI number this time hidden within a code it is something called a"Check Code". now why was I not told this from ORG41 I just do not know. It would have saved me 4 hours of my time from waiting on the telephone in every direction (Call Center music gets boring after the first call) should have picked two stars for this as it was inadequate experience with a lot of friction (they were not rude) but down to one star for amount of time i spent looking for answers
