Stopping
Insurance Companies from Using Credit reports to DENY or
Increase Costs of Auto Insurance by Representative Terese
Berceau. All consumers have a credit score (sometimes
called a credit rating). It's a formula that decision makers
in business, the financial industry, and even potential
landlords can consider when making a decision about how likely

certain amount of money (including rent), the lender, seller
or landlord can use your credit score to asses your risk. Click
