Section 2805. Adverse action notification  


Latest version.
  • If an insurer takes an adverse
      action based upon credit information, the insurer shall:
        (a) provide notification to the consumer that an  adverse  action  has
      been  taken,  in  accordance  with  the requirements of the federal Fair
      Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681m(a); and
        (b) provide notification to the consumer explaining the reason for the
      adverse action. The reasons must be provided in sufficiently  clear  and
      specific  language  so  that  a  person  can  identify the basis for the
      insurer's decision to take an adverse action.  Such  notification  shall
      include  a  description  of  up  to  four  factors that were the primary
      influences of the adverse action. The use of generalized terms  such  as
      "poor  credit  history", "poor credit rating", or "poor insurance score"
      does  not  meet  the  explanation  requirements  of   this   subsection.
      Standardized credit explanations provided by consumer reporting agencies
      or other third party vendors are deemed to comply with this section.
