Hello Marylou
Auto insurance companies in Allentown Pennsylvania PA use “credit scores” also known as “insurance risk scores” based on your full credit report done by credit reporting agencies. This is done by auto insurance companies to evaluate your use of credit in the past so as to predict the possibility of your filing for claims in the future. Auto insurance companies put different weights on different parts or dynamics in the “insurance risk scores” to determine your final scores. It is believed by auto insurance companies in Allentown Pennsylvania PA that if you have managed to have a good credit standing during the period inclusive in the credit report, then you are in the low-risk bracket when it comes to claims filing.
Neither race nor income are considered determinants in “insurance risk scores” of auto insurance companies and this also moves in the same direction (either up or down) as the changes in your credit history moves. Most auto insurance companies in Allentown Pennsylvania PA use these “insurance risk scores” to determine which rate class you should be placed in: high-risk, standard or preferred. These are also used by your auto insurance company to set the auto insurance premiums in each class. Most states have laws that restrict auto insurance companies to use “insurance risk scores” as sole basis for setting auto insurance premiums or for declining to issue or renew an auto insurance policy to a certain person.
