Important Notice - Please Read Carefully


No coverage is afforded until such time as written confirmation is provided by Consumers Insurance Agency, Inc.

While Consumers Insurance Agency, Inc. is licensed to sell insurance in the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, we are able to best service those personal lines customers in areas close to our offices in the south central part of the state.

In order to determine what coverage is available to you, and at what price, and to help the insurance company evaluate your personal risk, we will be asking you some questions concerning claim history, driving record, and credit history. Insurance companies offer better pricing for prospective clients with excellent driving records and loss free claim history. In addition, some companies, in some states, offer a better price for persons with acceptable Insurance Scores, which measure the likelihood of an insurance loss based on financial behavior, according to credit report information. By completing this quote request form, you are acknowledging and giving your permission for any or all of the following information or reports to be obtained:

MVR (Motor Vehicle Record): State driving records which may include driver’s license information including violations, convictions, revocations and suspension information, as well as personal information such as address and date of birth.

ADDITIONAL DRIVER DISCOVERY (ADD): is a database of all licensed drivers in the household. This report helps determine that all drivers in the household have been disclosed on the quote request or application so that appropriate evaluations and premium charges for all drivers can be made by the insurance company.

CLUE (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange): is a database of information containing claims history by individual, by driver, by policy,by vehicle, and by location address.

INSURANCE SCORE: This evaluates many aspects of your credit management history, including, but not limited to: number of open accounts, payment history, frequency of recent inquiries into the credit report, etc. In particular the model considers the presence of any major financial blemishes such as bankruptcy, liens, foreclosures, etc. Neither our agency, nor the insurance company actually receives a copy of your credit history or report. We simply receive an Insurance Score of "Acceptable" or "Not Acceptable." If a consumer has been denied insurance in the past sixty days based on information contained in a credit report, the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requires the credit bureaus to provide a copy of the credit report to you free of charge.
