Hi pepper350.
Obviously I have no knowledge how your details were obtained, but certain companies buy a variety of data that they then use to contact people.
One well known debt management company writes out to people that appear on court lists for debt related matters for example.
Other companies buy data lists of people who have been turned down for a loan or similar things.
Another way this happens is that there are websites, with contact forms, that exist to generate debt solution leads. These leads are sold on, and are often repeatedly sold on again and again afterwards.
