TransUnion?s TrueCredit.com Introduces Insurance Scores

Empowering consumers to better understand how their credit information is viewed by insurers when determining monthly insurance premiums, TransUnion’s TrueCredit.com today launched Insurance Scores. Available online now to US consumers, Insurance Scores are delivered via one easy-to-read report that includes separate scores for both home and auto insurance.

“Today, your credit behavior influences more than just your mortgage rate. It often plays a role in determining the monthly insurance premiums for your home and car,” says John Danaher, president of TransUnion’s TrueCredit.com. “If you’re getting ready to shop for insurance, TrueCredit.com Insurance Scores let you see, ahead of time, how you’ll be viewed, allowing you to take proactive steps to improve your own credit health that could result in lower premiums.”

For $9.95, TransUnion’s TrueCredit.com bundles together Automotive and Property Scores in one straightforward report. Modeled on a range of 150-950 points, the Insurance Scores are tailored to meet the insurance standards of individual states. Each score includes a Population Comparison and Qualitative Analysis, indicating how consumers rate among the general population and what they can do to improve their own scores.

“The bottom line is that most insurance companies view this information as highly predictive of a customer’s likelihood of filing insurance claims and set their premiums accordingly,” added Danaher. “So, as a consumer, it’s certainly in your best interest to understand how you’re being viewed and to do what you can do to improve your standing.”
