A great way to save money and get discount automobile insurance in Tennessee is to take a look at – and pamper! – your credit score. Yes, you’ve heard the rumors and they’re true – many car insurers look at your credit report when determining how affordable car insurance rates in Tennessee will be. That means the MasterCard bill that was sent to collections, or the bankruptcy you filed last year, could very well affect your chances at getting cheap auto insurance in Tennessee. Luckily, you can spruce up, and eventually even do some serious repair, to your credit score. This will make it much easier on yourself to save money and get discount automobile insurance in Tennessee. How can you revamp your credit score and work toward getting cheap auto insurance in Tennessee? • Order a copy of your credit report. Various companies offer free copies of your credit report. Order inaccuracies that negatively affect your credit score. • Start paying your bills on time. This many seem like a no-brainer, but it can be difficult to pay your bills on time once you’ve gotten behind. Call your creditors and ask about setting up payment plans to get caught up. • Get rid of some – or all – credit cards. The less credit you have, the less temptation you have, right? Find out how to transfer each card onto one card and save money on interest rates as well as avoid the temptation to use all cards. • Get a new credit card. Use this option if your credit is so poor (or lacking) that you can’t get credit on your own. Ask a relative to co-sign a credit card for you (this makes it easier to get one) – use it wisely and make payments on time. It will take some time to repair your credit score, but once you do you’ll find it easier to get affordable car insurance rates in Tennessee.
