By law they have to inform you if they use your credit report to figure your premium and then give you less than their best rate. They bury this info in the pages and pages of crap they sent you w/ your insurance info.

I am still VERY po'd about this BTW and our elected officials will be hearing from me! There is ABSOLUTELY no reason credit info (from a company who doesn't even have my age correct BTW) should be affecting my rates for PREPAID car insurance when I have been with said company for years!!! :angry:

I love how all this use of credit scores didn't keep people from borrowing money they couldn't afford to pay back and pucking up the WORLD'S economies - it's just a way for them to justify jacking up prices.

Also on the news this morning they are talking about how banks are cutting limits or canceling cards on people w/ scores above 750, so obviously it's a giant crock tha they get to pick and choose when to utilize these scores! :angry:

Wow - above 750? That is very odd~~~~~~~

 

[scooterbug44]

Yep, they don't actually care what your credit scores are, they're trying to cut their losses.

I listed ALL the reasons they were using to justify my car insurance increase - how many people do you know w/ great credit who wouldn't have the exact same things on their reports?

 

[Lynnie]

Wow - sorry to hear that, Scooterbug! I knew credit was being cut on lower credit scores, but above 750?

My insurance prem. went down this last renewal on everything. Of course, I did get a little squeaky with my agent....

What a pain! Was it a sprinkler head? Why didn't you turn off the sprinkler system or the water meter at the street? Hubby taught me how to take care of all sorts of such problems because he used to be out of town so much, and invariably he would be out of town when this stuff hapened. Thankfully hubby is a do-it-yourselfer. He just goes to Home Depot, buys a new sprinkler head, and fixes it himself.

Gosh, I guess poor Molly was a mess with her long hair.

No...it was a main line for the sprinkler system. The plumbers dug it up, but I am sending them on their way with their high hourly rate and my landscaper is on the job! Mr. K did shut the water off. I am sure I could have figured it out, but why do that when I have a strong man at home? BTW...I lucked out since Mr. K leaves for France today!

I hate when people complain.

Tough titties said the kitties.

Hey Kitty, next time you have a water emergency, call BR at 6:00 am.

...sounds like a plan to me!

Hubby keeps a wrench for me by the water meter at the street for the sprinkler system. Then he had a cutoff installed in the house for the house water line so I wouldn't have to go all the way to the street (potentially at night) to cut that off in an emergency. We've had many water emergencies (had polybutylene pipe -- Shell Oil paid for the entire house to be replumbed -- so far, so good).

Our neighbor is a contractor. He recommends turning your water off when you are out of town because of all of the water emergencies he's seen. He says he always turns his off. We turn off the gas, too, because you never know when it could spring a leak.

Glad Mr. K. was there so you didn't have to take care of it all by yourself.

New rant. Case closed and all items not damaged were recovered, but I'm still .

Thieves are bad enough, but what kind of creep steals a kid's book bag, rips up their classwork and homework, destroys their binders and leaves it all in the middle of the road?

Between this, the church van being stolen and the Wise Man winding up in the bayou, Point Washington is having a freaking crime wave. Lock your doors, and be sure to lock your vehicles at night.
