Bad Credit  Affects Auto Insurance

Understanding How Your Credit History May Affect Your Car Insurance Coverage



Understanding How Your Credit History May Affect Your Car Insurance Coverage

The companies that do use credit scoring will still use other factors in determining your premium.

They will also use your age, driving history, type of vehicle, where you live in determining how much you should pay for your insurance.

Is it fair for an insurance company even look at my credit information without my permission? The answer is yes. The Federal Fair credit-reporting act says "Reasonable procedures.

It is the purpose of this title to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this title."
