Personal Property Insurance Companies

What sort of information is your personal property insurance company relying on to determine your insurance rates?
Every company wants to minimize its risks. Personal property insurance companies know all about risk and use background check reports and consumer credit reports to minimize their risks. But when those reports are inaccurate, the impact and cost to you can be huge. Find your company on our comprehensive list and learn what you can do about it.

Technology has made storing, accessing, transferring, distributing, compiling, and selling a person’s personal data a common occurrence. Industries that previously couldn’t do background checks, credit checks, driving history checks, and rental history checks on potential customers due to cost can now run all those checks and easily get reports on potential customers.

Personal property insurance companies are one of those industries that now regularly do background checks.

A personal property insurance company or personal property insurance agency is a company that insures your personal possessions. Personal property insurance companies provide financial protection against loss or damage due to things like theft, fire, vandalism, or natural disasters. People seeking personal property coverage are often renters seeking peace of mind for their belongings. Anyone applying to obtain insurance for their personal belongings must often submit to a background check. They then wait for approval and, if approved, their insurance rates. Too often, background check errors result in increased rates or the outright denial of insurance coverage.

Information on Personal Property Insurance Companies

Many of the top property insurance companies and best-rated property insurance companies offer insurance bundling. Insurance bundling involves combining multiple policies, like auto and home insurance, with one provider to simplify management and often secure discounted premiums. In such instances, a property and casualty insurance agency might offer life, automobile, personal property, and homeowners insurance. In such cases, a background check will include credit history, driving history, and rental history. They do this to:

  • Evaluate the risk level associated with insuring an individual or entity.
  • Determine appropriate premium rates based on the risk profile.
  • Identify and prevent potential fraudulent activities or claims.
  • Ensure adherence to legal and regulatory requirements regarding policy issuance.
  • Gather accurate information for underwriting decisions, ensuring policies are issued based on correct data.
  • Assess the applicant’s claims history, which might indicate future risk.
  • Evaluate financial stability and responsibility, especially for insurance policies like life or health insurance.
  • Identify any criminal activities that might affect the policy terms or eligibility.
  • For auto insurance, verify driving licenses and check for any violations or suspensions.
  • For property insurance, assess the condition and value of the insured property.

As credit report attorneys, we see the consequences of errors in background checks too often. Consumers who are denied insurance suffer the financial losses that insurance coverage is designed to prevent. Additionally, they suffer mental and emotional damage, anxiety, reputational damage, and other non-economic damages. Those approved for insurance but with rates based on erroneous information in background check reports pay higher rates. Over a lifetime, higher monthly insurance rates can really add up.

Even the most prominent and largest property insurance companies and property insurance company ratings leaders can engage background check companies that provide inaccurate reports. While the credit reporting agencies are likely liable for the inaccurate information on their reports, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) also imposes requirements on the property insurance companies who use those reports. Property insurance companies can also face liability if those FCRA-mandated requirements are not met.

If you have applied for personal property with any of the above personal property insurance companies and been the subject of a background check that had errors in it, contact a lawyer for consumer protection.

Our attorneys have decades of experience fighting on behalf of consumers who have had economic or non-economic damages from the carelessness or outright disregard of consumer reporting agencies and background check companies.

At any time between the date of this agreement and the expiration of CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period, CA may inform you of the outcome of its investigation. If CA’s investigation reveals that you have an actional consumer law claim, CA may ask you to sign a formal retainer agreement. If CA’s investigation does not reveal an actionable consumer law claim, you will receive an e-mail that states CA will not represent you in any further pursuit of your potential claim(s).

The relationship between you and CA automatically terminates at 5pm on the 180th day of the Exclusive Investigative Period or your receipt of CA’s written notice to decline representation, whichever comes sooner. At the conclusion of the Exclusive Investigative Period or upon receipt of CA’s written declination of representation, you are permitted to seek alternative legal counsel without penalty.

You agree to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, materials, and all other similar instruments to CA and its representatives during the Exclusive Investigative Period. You understand that your failure to provide all relevant information, communications, documents, and materials to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period may hinder, delay or otherwise frustrate CA’s investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s).

All documents and communications, oral or written, past or future, provided to CA during the Exclusive Investigative Period and anytime thereafter are presumed by CA to be true, complete, and accurate.

Fees and Costs Incurred During Exclusive Investigative Period

CA agrees that you will not incur any out-of-pocket fees or costs during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period. However, if CA agrees to represent you in a consumer lawsuit, CA may recover the fees and costs incurred during the Exclusive Investigative Period from the Defendant pursuant to a future settlement or judgment.

You agree that CA has a right to place a lien on any future monetary recovery obtained by client related to the claims identified during CA’s Exclusive Investigative Period or as a result of CA’s investigative efforts. If you refuse to cooperate with CA in the formal pursuit of the consumer law claim(s) it identifies during or after the Exclusive Investigative Period, you agree that CA has the right to recover the fees and costs it incurred while investigating your potential consumer law claim(s).

CA will send you any and all documents that require your signature. You authorize CA to affix your electronic signature to requests, disclosures, or other forms that CA deems reasonably necessary to the investigation of your potential consumer law claim(s) upon receipt of your approval or after the 7th day after the document was sent to you, whichever comes first.
