Anyone else got an unsolicited email from Huddle Capital?
I have received a marketing email from Huddle, with which I’ve never had any contact. The footer states “You are receiving this email as you recently expressed an interest in our services”.. Errrr, no, I didn’t!
If I click on the “update your preferences” option, the name of the mailing list is revealed to be “Collateral1”. Someone appears to have passed on the Collateral mailing list!

Someone has in the purple forum. I haven't, but if I do I know that particular email address was used solely for COL and has never received a message not connected to my relationship with COL.

I assumed it was because she has an Ablrate account and they have a stake in Huddle, but as you say the name of the mailing list is Collateral1

Yes I got one. Not quite as annoying as the loan emails they keep sending me despite the fact it's not possible for me to invest. I did ask them to delete my details. I tried to sign-up for the initial Huddle 100 offer but gave up during the AML checks as they couldn't verify me.

Nothing for me _ COL account but no previous contact with Huddle _ but I've only been with COL for a little over 6 months, so might it have been an older list?

I had one but I thought that it was possibly as I have an ABLRate account

Huddle sent me an email, I am outraged, it is an invasion of my privacy spam folder. Meh.

Both my spouse and I received an unsolicited email from Huddle Capital on independent email addresses which have been used for Collateral and nothing else. We use different email addresses for each platform therefore I do not think this is anything to do with Ablrate.. These email addresses have obviously been passed on to RR and BDO. So presumably Huddle got this information from Collateral, RR or BDO. I wonder what other private information was passed on. I shall be making a complaint to the ICO.

You may prefer to hold fire and see what comes out in the wash, but if you do proceed, I'd be tempted not to mention COL by name, just Huddle. Mentioning COL may cause the ICO to engage with BDO and you (we) can kiss a few more pounds of your (our) investments goodbye.

Ha this is the one I received and as an investor in a certain P2P company which is in administration I'm not sure I'd qualify as experienced!!! As an experienced Peer 2 Peer lender we wanted to bring your attention to Huddle Capital and some of our existing loans

....I wonder what other private information was passed on.... And who it was passed to. Email addresses ending up with Huddle is not a big deal, but if other information has been leaked/taken it could have major implications.

Yes, I received this spam email from huddlecapital, never had any contact with them. So obviously our details have been sold on to this spamming company without our permission and no doubt they paid a decent sum for it, the revenue for which I am sure will be revealed by the administrator, BDO in their next report.

I received it too and have asked why I have received it but not holding my breath for an answer. I'm also in col and from what iren said it does seem this is the col mailing list being used. It does beg the question what other information was leaked and under what circumstances.
I don't believe there have been any large leaps in speculation here. Something is clearly not well.
