    Not sure how secret it is, but in many states your credit score can be used as a rating factor in determining your auto insurance premium. Insurance companies charge you more if you have bad credit.

        We used to call it your “insurance score” when I worked insurance about 10 years ago.

      Damn, fascinating and evil haha. Do you know if one of those states is the United Kingdom? I might spread the word amongst my friends and family.

        Sorry, I meant states in the US because that’s where I’m at. Based on a quick Google search it seems that in the UK this is also the case.
