Dear Dr. Don,
I recently received my homeowners insurance renewal statement. There was a supplemental letter attached stating I was not receiving the very best rates possible due to my credit score. My premium went up $119 from last year.
I called my banker and had him pull my score from two of the three major credit bureaus. Last year, my score was 814. This year, it is 819 from one bureau and 837 with another.
When I called my banker, he stated he had received at least 20 calls regarding the same complaint. Can you suggest any further recourse other than changing insurance companies?

Halfords, the motoring accessories firm, is encouraging learner drivers to spend more time practising on the roads by teaming up with young driver specialist Provisional Marmalade.
Together, the two offer car insurance from just £3 per day for provisional drivers, who will be able to benefit from comprehensive car insurance at an unprecedented low price.
The measure has been taken by Halfords in a bid to help promote more real-world practice on the road, something which many provisional drivers do little of due to high insurance costs.
Standard policies could see learner drivers pay huge costs, even exceeding £3000, with the car owner risking their No Claims bonus.
Learner drivers also have to grapple with the difficulty of many insurers increasing their minimum insurance age to 21 or even 25.
The Halfords/Provisional Marmalade insurance policy provides coverage for between £90.95 and £99.50 per month, and as a separate policy it does not affect any other insurance on the car in question.
It is particularly important for younger drivers to be properly insured, as research indicates that they are the age group likeliest to be involved in accidents, with a third of the 1.2 million road deaths every year suffered by the under 25s.

Up to nine million drivers could be missing out on substantial savings by automatically renewing their car insurance with their existing provider. Failing to investigate if you can find cheaper cover elsewhere could cost you dearly. According to new research by moneysupermarket.com, motorists can typically save £233 a year by scouring the market for a better deal – that’s nearly £100 more compared with last year.
Yet despite the savings they could make, more than three and a half million motorists admit that they ‘can’t be bothered’ to look for cheaper insurance. M
