To get an accurate
claim history on consumers, many insurance companies use a service called
CLUE (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange), a centralized database that provides a seven year history of
auto and homeowner insurance claims. The CLUE database enables homeowner and auto insurance companies to exchange your claim history. This database is maintained by a consumer reporting agency called ChoicePoint.
Information provided on the reports include the date of the loss, the type of loss, the name of the insurance company, policy number, the amount paid, and other general information. As with any report that is collected by a consumer reporting agency, you have the right to obtain a free copy annually. Information on how to obtain your CLUE report can be found on the CLUE Reports website.
Your insurance premiums are determined by the information provided on these reports, therefore, it is recommended to check them periodically. In the event you find a discrepancy on your report, you have the right by law to dispute it. Checking your CLUE report prior to shopping for or insurance coverage will give you the time needed to fix any discrepancies before purchasing an insurance policy.
