Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Comparethemarket.com. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100811000645/http://www.bglgroup.co.uk/about/history.php to http://www.bglgroup.co.uk/about/history.php

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018.

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.

• What I think should be changed: In section 'Compare the Meerkat campaign' remove 'on November 18, 2023.' and changed to 'in 2022'.
• Why it should be changed: As it stands, date is uncited and incorrect, suggest either removing date or changing to 2022.
• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

• What I think should be changed (include citations):

After this sentence in History - "In September 2017, it was announced the company was under investigation by the competition regulator surrounding allegations regarding most favoured nation clauses with home insurance providers." add "Initially, the investigation ruled against Comparethemarket. However, this was overturned on appeal in August 2022.^[1]"

And in Controversy, after existing paragraphs add: "However, BGL filed an appeal in February 2021 and, in August 2022, a Competition Appeal Tribunal found in favour of BGL, overturning the CMA’s decision and its fine.

A Comparethemarket spokesperson commented: “We fully support the work the CMA does as vital to protecting the integrity of markets. We are pleased that this matter is now concluded and are, of course, happy with the outcome. We look forward to continuing our work to help people save money at a time when we are needed more than ever.”^[2]"

• Why it should be changed: As it stands page is inaccurate as only includes details of the original court case and not the outcome of the appeal.
