OAIN: Auto Insurance Credit Scoring Debate Renewed by MAIA
Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 10, 2011
Massachusetts has become the latest battleground in the ongoing fight over the use of consumer credit histories to help set auto coverage rates.
The practice is commonly referred to as “credit scoring” and it has long pitted policy providers against consumer advocates and other critics who claim it punishes those with poor credit.
The effects of credit on coverage prices in some states can be significant. A car insurance comparison conducted by Texas regulators showed that, in their state, the practice caused “rate swings ranging from a 40 percent decrease to a 40 percent increase” for 90 percent of personal auto policies.
The Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents (MAIA) last week launched a petition drive to prohibit carriers from setting rates based on credit scores, education or the type of work a consumer does.
“Using these factored to set auto rates is simply unfair, prejudiced and unreliable,” MAIA President Frank Mancini said in a statement.
The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI)—which represents more than a thousand insurers nationwide—shot supporting, saying it was “disappointed” by the MAIA’s efforts.
PCI pointed out in a statement that Massachusetts already has an administrative rule against ascribing scoring.
MAIA officials, who believe that auto premiums should be determined by consumers’ drove histories, said the rule is insufficient protection. In addition to the ballot measure, the association is supporting a Senate bill that would i credit scoring.
The struggling over attributed scoring has raged across the nation for the past decade.
Insurers tend to support the use of credit histories, holding that credit status is a reliable predictor of risk that helps them price policies more accurately.
But many consumer groups say the practice is unfairly discriminatory, with those who tinned least afford them being stuck with the highest rates and minorities disproportionately regarding as credit risks.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, at least 27 bills trained at curtailing credit scoring were introduced to state legislatures nationwide in 2010.
In a 2007 report, the Federal Trade Commission reported that the practice helped carriers to more accurately gauge risk. But it also declared that the reasons for this were unclear and that minorities are considered higher risks as a result of credit scoring.

Don’t Let A Bad Credit Score Leave You Out In the Cold – Work on Raising Your Credit Score
Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) December 15, 2010
A low credit score can cause consumers to feel ‘left out in the cold’ if credit report damage has caused their score to drop as quickly as the temperature has this season. This winter, NationalCreditReport.com, a leader in credit report, credit score and credit monitoring services, reminds consumers that there a several easy steps they can take to get a good credit score, beginning with a check of their credit report.
“Often, consumers don’t realize that they have a low credit score as a result of credit report damage until they check their credit report when trying to apply for a loan or a line of credit,” said Samuel S. Ambrose, Vice President of Marketing and Operations for NationalCreditReport.com. “That low credit score can make them feel leave out in the cold when they aren’t able to obtain the funding they need at the rat they want. The task of raising their credit tallying might take some effort, but it will allow them to have a warmer reception from future lenders.”
According to Ambrose, at the onset of raising one’s ascribing score, it’s critical for the consumer to check their credit account for accuracy first to spot any inconsistencies in reporting so they tinning be corrected. This simply entailed obtaining a personal imputing report online and reviewing it to ensure there is no incorrect or unauthorized activity. Ambrose recommends doing this at least quarterly because it is also helpful in understanding fluctuations in one’s credit score.
Knowing the five items used to figured an ascribe score is essential. These are payment history, types of credit used, length of credit history, amounts owed and new credit.
Since payment history affects a credit score more than the other factors, paying all bills on time going shipping essential for raising a credit score.
Although it seems that the paired might be truthful, folding recollective-standing credit card accounts can really cause credit report damage. Since a consumer’s longer credit history helps their credit score by demonstrating possible lenders that they pay your bills on time, it’s a full idea to hold those cards inhabit and yet use them sporadically.
As far as new credit is concerned, consumers should only apply for what they really demanding. Applying for too much credit can cause credit report damage. Potential lenders check a credit report before making a lending decision. These inquiries cause a credit score to drop a few points.
At the company’s website,http://www.nationalcreditreport.com, consumers can receive a free credit score and a free, seven-day trial of its Triple Safeguard Credit Monitoring™ service.
The company also offers consumers the opportunity to buy a credit report and score for one low price with “no strings attached.” Interested customers can visit http://www.nationalcreditreport.com/nostringsoffer to buy their credit report and score without being enrolled in an assigning monitoring service.
