Insurance companies are in the business of making money.  Anything they
can use as an excuse to raise your rate, they will, regardless of whether
it has anything to do with how good a driver you are.  I've been told my
rate would be lower if I were female or married, traits that I don't see
have much to do with my driving either.

Raising rates on people with poor credit scores is particularly low
because it's kicking someone who's already down.  They're already short on
cash, so you charge them more.  Despicable.
