It is true that credit history affect the insurance premiums. I think they consider that higher is our credit score, the better driver we are and so lower is the premium. But like Carol, I too cannot find any relationship between the two.

I think that the companies link insurance rates with credit history to see whether the person can meet the insurance premium timely or not. If his credit history is good, the companies become sure that the person will be able to continue the insurance premiums and hence charge lower premium rates. On the other hand higher premiums are charged to people with bad credit history only to avoid the risk associated with it.

The woman I spoke to from Allstate said that generally they feel ppl with higher credit are more responcible.

Yes, actually people have high credit score and a good credit history only when they repay the debt on time. This is in turn reflected on the credit report. So the insurance companies feel that the people who have high credit score are more responsible and charge low premium rates from them.
