Will a bankruptcy affect your auto insurance rates? |
[Edit] |
Answer
I don't actually work for an insurance company, but I do know that credit can affect your rates (bad credit = worse rates). Insurance, after all, bases its life on risk: the riskier they think you are as a client, the higher your rates. Credit is the same way, so it only makes sense that a bankruptcy would increase your auto insurance rates.
Answer
Yes, bankruptcy will affect your insurance rates. I have Erie insurance and my rates did go up quite a bit. My home insurance more than my auto insurance. I had only filed one claim on my home insurance in 27 years and never late in payment and yet my rated jumped almost $200. I was told this was because of the bankruptcy.
