Minnesota SR22

 

Q: I have a lot of student debt. Will this affect how much I pay for my Minnesota SR22 insurance?

A: It depends. Having a big balance on your credit history which has yet to be paid off will probably affect your ability to get a credit card, or buy a car with a decent interest rates, but unless you have defaulted on your student loan or pay irregularly, then it is unlikely to affect your Minnesota SR22 insurance in a bad way. It will, however, affect it in some way.

When car insurance use your credit in your car premium rating, they have their own way of doing things which isn’t the same as the ratings to get the FICO credit score are done. Your Minnesota car insurance company will probably be more interested in whether you pay every one of your student loan payments every month when it’s due, right on the due date or before, rather than whether or not you will be paying off a lot of money. Your car insurance company isn’t giving you a loan, and so they aren’t worried about balances, because you won’t be paying off a balance with them. What they do want is someone who is consistent, and the credit report can tell them if you are.
