Does anyone have any Data Protection type knowledge?

Although I'm registered with MPS I'm getting an increasing amount of junk mail, mainly credit card applications which are pre-populated with my name/address etc.

I'm guessing that,although I'm usually very careful, I've missed a "tick box" to opt out of mailings at some point and some bleeding company has flogged my details off.

Is there a way of finding out who is flogging my details? If I ring one of the credit card companies and whinge are they likely to have a record of where my details came from?

We're likely to be moving within 12 months and I don't want to leave a trail of documents like this lurking around as we're in a rental property at the moment.

Cheers
