Insurance
A general forum for anything related to flying the backcountry. Please check first if your new topic fits better into a more specific forum before posting.
It's called statistics; they have found a correlation between credit score and accident rate for autos, at least. You can invent your own rational reason why this might be, but probably relates to "judgement".

Beyond me how they figure your credit rating into their risk potential but it's there none the less.

Be thankful....if you had a bad credit score you'd probably be paying $2700.00

Strata,
They're probably adding your age into the risk profile, just kidding.
Since our economics are based on petroleum and the fact frivolous lawsuits are still running amuck with outrageous settlements, you can expect to see another increase in insurance rates in the near future.
