Get a C.L.U.E. Report

5/20/2006, 1:33 pm

Do you have a C.L.U.E.® Report?

If you own a home, chances are good that ChoicePoint has a CLUE report about your home. The Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exhange (CLUE) is a huge insurance industry database which contains the history of claims and reported damages to insured property.

Insurers use the CLUE database to inform their decisions regarding dropping or denying coverage. In other words, your CLUE Report is something you should know about. If it has inaccurate data about claims you’ve made or damages you’ve reported, you want the information corrected because it influences your home owners policy.

The Federal FACT Act gives you the right to review your report. Once each year you may request a free copy of your CLUE report from ChoiceTrust. You may also receive a free copy if you are turned down for insurance coverage. Your CLUE Report includes your loss history, inquiry history and it provides information about how you can dispute the claims contained in your report.

You may order your CLUE Report online at http://www.choicetrust.com or by phoning 1-866-312-8076.

Purging Financial Records

MSN Money has a nice article, Purge Your Financial Paperwork, which answers a lot of the questions people have about how long to keep old financial records. It’s a quick read and helped me feel better about getting rid of cancelled checks from the 1980’s.

TheHousingBubbleBlog.com

I’ve followed Ben Jones’ blog for more than a year. It’s been especially interesting reading recently. In TheHousingBubbleBlog.com Ben examines “the home price boom and its effect on owners, lenders, regulators, realtors and the economy as a whole.” In short, it’s a great read if you want a broad perspective on the housing bubble.
