What are the rules and guidelines auto insurance companies must follow regarding the use of Personal Credit History in selecting applicants and setting rates?
In the state of Nebraska, auto insurers are permitted to use Personal Credit History to help determine which products they will offer as well as rates. Your Personal Credit History may also be used to determine whether you will be making monthly or quarterly payments or if you will be required to pay the entire premium upfront. Personal Credit History is also used to create an “insurance risk score.” This score also helps determine your auto insurance rates. In order to enjoy a lower insurance premium, pay your bills on time in an effort to improve your score. This will also help improve your credit history so that in the long run, you can save money on your car insurance premium.
Is the state a No Fault or Tort state? What does either mean to the policy owner?
