Data is money so my guess would be:

If done on-line, then you have "tragetted marketing" from Google/web
browser company otherwise it is quite possible that the leak came from RTO.
Very doubtful that it was your insurance company as they would not release
their client database.

Welcome to the world of "big data" where others know more about you than
your family!
