Cheaper Insurance - What To Do If You Have Poor Credit

By Chimezirim Chinecherem Odimba

1. First and foremost, get the bare-bones minimum policy and then start working on your credit. If it's a policy that can wait for a few months, let it wait. However, who knows tomorrow. It's certainly better to pay high insurance rates than to be in a situation where you need it but are uninsured.

2. If you're married, you can take out a policy in the name of your spouse provided they have better credit than you do. But we all know that this is rarely the case. And even where this is the case, you can only do this for policies like auto insurance.

3. Look for insurers who weigh your credit rating lightly when computing your insurance rates. Although most insurers will calculate your rates based on your credit history some don't and others weigh is far less than others.
