Are my insurance premiums based on my credit history?

Insurance Premiums Determined On Credit Score

Did you know that the premiums you are charged for insurance could be dependent on your credit score? The higher your credit score, the lower your premium. Not all insurance companies consider credit history when determining a premium, but most do. This helps them to determine your insurance risk. If you have a lot of debt, adverse actions or have trouble making your payments you may be considered a higher risk. The risk is higher because someone with a lot of debt that is out of control may file fraudulent claims to collect the insurance money.
