Poor Credit Rating and High Auto Insurance: No Way to Appeal
Summary:
Your credit history can significantly impact your car insurance premiums.
An experienced home contractor once said, "If the yard is neat, you’ll be paid on time. If it's messy, expect payment issues." This wisdom suggests that an organized person with a tidy lawn likely manages their finances well, including timely payments for bills, mortgages, or car loans. Conversely, a messy yard implies potential financial disorganization.
Auto insurance companies evaluate your insurance premiums similarly. In most U.S. states and Canadian provinces, a crucial factor in calculating your premium is your credit rating and history. It's reported that 90% of auto insurance companies consider credit ratings when setting premium rates for each vehicle in your household, whether it's a car, truck, van, or SUV.
Fortunately, laws ensure you can access your credit report and history. Being informed allows you to address any credit issues, such as missed payments or debts. Additionally, you can correct errors in your credit report. However, this transparency doesn't extend to your auto insurance risk score. You may not even realize that a low credit score is affecting your insurance premiums, leading to higher rates across multiple vehicles. Worse, this may persist for years, as there's no appeal process.
What's the takeaway? First and foremost, pay your bills promptly. Your credit rating is crucial, whether due to oversight or irresponsibility. Missing payments on credit cards, loans, or mortgages can lead to higher auto insurance premiums. Plus, unresolved debts or liens from past business ventures may still tarnish your credit history. It's worth regularly checking your credit report for errors or problems you can fix. Lastly, consider using cash when possible.
Paying attention to your credit can help avoid unnecessarily high car insurance costs. Be proactive and maintain a clean financial record to ensure you're not penalized with inflated premiums.
