But not in Alberta. Your insurance rates are determined by your driving recored, what type of car you drive, your age, married or not and where you live!

Your credit rating only affects what type of car you can afford to drive, or most recently what grade of gas you can afford!

Not here in Oregon. They get one free look at you credit report when you first sign on and of course they have to tell you they are. Some do, some don't. But, they can't go back at look again. Unless you ask them to.

Same here in Texas...........

DEFBOY you really need a new insurance company!

My brother just got into a minor parking lot tussle, where the other driver fled the scene (brother has the plate # and witnesses). Had the other driver stuck around it would have been 50/50 blame, but since he fled and it is a hit a run, he is 100% at fault, so not only does he have a warrent out for fleeing the scene of a accident but he's on the hook for the full brunt of the insurance claim. This is direct from the insurance chicks mouth "your rates will not go up if you are involved in a hit and run where the other driver flees the scene, as fleeing the scene is taken as admission of guilt in the accident, your insurance will not be affected as it is the other drivers insurance company that will be paying out"

The only thing that might make your rates go up are if the same insurance comapny insures both drivers, then they might assign blame to both parties so they will both be on the hook for the deductable, so the company cost will be slightly less.

Here they don't get to look at your credit score at all. The financial institution you use gets to so they can decide how much of an interest rate to pin on you, but the insurance company does not get to look at your credit score.

thats the problem here mike, as it sits i have to claim it under my insurance company as there is no "other drivers" insurance company to go after. as it is still be investigated as a hit and run.

i hope they get him, because they are also charging him with uttering death threats, which here at least is a serious offense. i would hope it would be everywhere else as well.

currently the hit and run is the least of his worries if they get!

The car was stolen, right, so all damages done should be covered by the stolen cars owners insurance, unless it wasn't insured period!
