Get a Clue
Ever wonder what information auto and homeowner's insurance companies have on file about you? Go to http://www.choicetrust.com and get your C.L.U.E. report for free. Short for Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange, the report details information insurance companies share about you — information that can be used to set your rates. While you're at the site, take a look at all the other fee-based reports available. One report, the Home Seller's Disclosure Report, provides a history of insurance losses at a specific residence. This can be an important report for home buyers. Why? This is one way you can find out if the owner(s) of a property you're thinking of buying have made any claims for water damage, wind damage or other types of damage that you may want to know about before you buy.

Hey Lesley, went to the C.L.U.E. site and they requested a lot of personal info that scared me:
SS#, Driver's license #, etc. How secure is this site? Any thoughts on that?
