    I\’ve been with Allstate since 1996. Policies included auto, renters & personal property.

    June 2003 requested homeowners insurance on new home. My agent came back and said I was denied due to my credit. I just bought a home with no problem, less than 5 1/2 interest.

    He advised me to go to another insurance company and they would insure me.

    I bought a second piece of property and still could not get a homeowners from Allstate.

    I then called regarding additional coverage on an existing policy. I was advised that Allstate would insure my properties.

    I did not hear about the lawsuit against Allstate until October 2006. Please advise as to any action I need to take in the near future.

    I just got a quote from American Family Insurance for Auto Insurance. The Amount was outrageous. The Agent told me that it is common to do a Credit Check, in fact he told me that most Insurance Co follow that procedure. I have a 6 year old SUV, no tickets or accidents on my driving record for the past 5 years. For a 12 month Policy was gonna cost me $1500. Basing a Rate on someones Credit Rating is Discrimination. It needs to Stop.
