minus-squareBradC@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoNot sure how secret it is, but in many states your credit score can be used as a rating factor in determining your auto insurance premium. Insurance companies charge you more if you have bad credit.
minus-squareGreen_Bay_Guy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoWe used to call it your “insurance score” when I worked insurance about 10 years ago.
minus-squareObinice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoDamn, fascinating and evil haha. Do you know if one of those states is the United Kingdom? I might spread the word amongst my friends and family.
minus-squareBradC@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoSorry, I meant states in the US because that’s where I’m at. Based on a quick Google search it seems that in the UK this is also the case.
