It should be against the law since everyone must carry car insurance. Also, what does my low credit score got to with my great driving record? Sounds like another reason to raise rates because most credit scores are low across the board. If someone pays their insurance company on time and has a good driving record should be their only concerns. Doesn’t that make sense to raise car insurance rates to persons that had a hard time paying a bill, bit made all their car insurance payments on time.

Hope that helps.
In California credit scores are not considered in auto insurance rates. I agree that credit scores should not be used.
You need to contact the people that make the laws in your state to get your laws changed so credit scores will not be considered. Some people think it is also discrimination.
Good Luck.
Actuarial studies show that how a person manages his or her financial affairs, which is what an insurance score indicates, is a good predictor of insurance claims. Statistically, people who have lower insurance scores tend to file more claims.
