One thing I like to point out to those people is that they are assuming it's accurate data collecting. If for some reason the data broker thought you totaled a car, you can't do squat about insurance agencies raising their rates because of it. You'd never know, you'd just see prices going up. Heck, everybody I know who has checked their credit has seen something that needed correcting. No way data brokers are 100% accurate.
