Allstate has been over charging me on auto insurance, ripping me off Nationwide
Allstate quoted me one price on the phone, offering a huge discount for a clean driving record,and length of insurance. When I recieved my policy in the mail, after already making payment, the price was much higher.
I was informed that I needed to submitt a few documents before I got the discount. So I did. Yeah, they gave me a 47.00 discount and said I only got that due to credit ratings. I had just received a letter in the mail about a case against Allstate for doing this in the past but did not fall into the dates allowed.
So I went ahead and changed my deductibles from 250 to 500, they told me that I would save 46.00 per month. When I looked at my policy on line I saved only 14.20 a month. I called and was met with excuses. I have had my driving license for 13 years with no incidents and I am being charged 1200 for 6 months being told they dont give discounts for good driving records, but I am sure that their commercials claim that they do.

No, insurance companies cannot state they give discounts because of good driving records

An none of any car insurance companies say they do. Its illegal to do so.
Credit is always considered when getting a policy with a new insurance agent. THey want to make sure you actually pay bills on time. If you have a bad credit, well its gonna affect your insurance rate, as with trying to get a loan from a bank.
What kind of car do you drive? What year? Sports? Luxury? You can have a spotless record for 30 years, yet drop into a $75,000 car, dont expect to pay less than $3000 every six months. How old are you? The 18-35 age range is known to have higher rates than those that are older.
Be a little more clear in your posting. Spotless or not, the car you drive can affect rates ( own a Toyota Camry? Well, that's the number one stolen car. You can bet that its gonna get a higher rate than the guy in the Mustang next to you at the stoplight )
