Reporter with millions of vehicles on the road, you would think figuring out who pays what, for Auto Insurance would be pretty straightforward.

What most drivers dont realize is that your personal Financial Data plays just as large a role in the rate you pay for Auto Insurance as those other things. Reporter in fact most companies your Credit History may matter more than your driving record. It is, extraordinary how much more companies are now charging people with fair credit or lousy credit, compared to people who have really just lousy driving record. Reporter Kevin Brassler is executive editor of the Delaware Valley consumer checkbook which did Extensive Research on Auto Insurance rates. He says that companies are increasingly relying on credit scores, and secretive formulas to set their rates. If you ask the Insurance Companies they will say we will write according to the risk and that these drivers, who have lousy credit, are more risky then drivers with excellent credit but they never been able to prove that. The one thing that they have been able to prove, is that drivers with fair credit are more likely, to file claims, then they are with people with excellent credit but has nothing to do with their driving record.
