How Credit Reports and Scores Can Affect the Cost of Your Insurance

Without a strong, positive, credit-based insurance score, an insurance policy applicant may only be offered policies with higher premiums or a higher monthly rate to pay. To the insurer, the lower credit score of a potential policyholder means that they are an increased risk for making claims, and consequently they must pay more money to the insurance company to offset the likelihood of future claims on the policy. Having to pay higher premiums or rates could increase insurance costs hundreds of dollars a year for an indefinite number of years, either until a consumer’s reports and scores are more robust or, possibly, if the insurer determines that the consumer is less risky based on some other criteria.
