What about looking at the problem a different way... Is it the credit scoring that is the problem or the weighting of credit scoring that is the issue? Just how much should a credit score be allowed to impact rates? If used as one factor that is carefully balanced with driving history and location, is that easier to handle?

With respect to the accuracy of credit reports. I have to agree with the criticism that the credit reports are full of errors and it is difficult to get items corrected. Consumers should have the opportunity to review their credit report, notify the insurance company of any items that are disputed, and the company should make adjustments as appropriate. Wouldn't that make things more fair?
