    It isn’t fair to someone who has had the same Insurance Co. for over 30 yrs. One time in 28 yrs. we have problems paying our bills, file bankruptcy and can’t find a job. The put you in a category, no matter how many years you struggled to pay all your bills on time and do exactly what you were supposed to do and contact creditors who gave you a hard time. I really feel everything you should be taken in account and not just one VERY BAD part of your life. We now are back on our feet and got there all by ourselves, {new, older house and car} but after all these yrs. of having ALLSTATE when we moved to another state they ran a credit check and raised our rates and this new homeowners policy was ridiculous. We went somewhere else. {excellent driving record} Good Luck to them and their DISCRIMINATION POLICY.

    I received a letter from The Garden City Group Inc. Titled Allstate Fair Credit Reporting Act Litigation Statement.

    I initially thought it’s a fake. It asks for your Social Security Number. The deadline to file is July 13, 2005. I have seen other class action lawsuits. Never have they asked me for my SSN.

    Is this the same letter others received?

    I received a letter with a form to fill out as well. I misplaced it, possibly threw it out with the trash. Any ideas on how I can get a copy?

    According to my Allstate agent (very nice man) this lawsuit is legit. He couldn’t comment on it but said there is a number in the paperwork for anyone who has questions.

    How do I go about getting the paper work to sign? I can’t find the letter Allstate mailed out and after checking out the articles and researching this lawsuit, I believe they were wrong in how they scored clients. Any help would be appreciated…Thanks CI

    I got the letter too. I’m still wary of their asking for my SSN on the form.This apparently is just to get a copy of your credit report. The website they gave is http://www.creditreportsettlement.com. I haven’t looked at it yet, though.
