Case ID: 4975 | Insurance | 01/23/2007
Whenever a home, a car, a business or any other property is damaged, a person instinctively calls his or her insurance agent to get started on the repairs. Many insurance policies state that the insurance company will pay the actual cash value of the damage to the property, and some insurance policies state that the insured can elect to receive either the actual cash value of the damages, or the replacement cost of the damages.
When a person chooses the actual case value of the damaged property, many insurance companies deduct an amount of money that they believe is equal to the overhead and profit of a general contractor. In many instances, the insurance company does not have a right to deduct an amount of money that they believe is equal to a contractor’s costs and overhead. If you made a claim against your insurance company for the actual cash value of damaged property and the insurance company has deducted from the amount they paid to you a percentage for the “costs and overhead of the contractor,” you may have a right to demand the payment of this deducted amount.

Consumers Allege United Guaranty Residential Insurance Conceals Use of Derogatory Credit Information A national class action has been filed in Texas against insurance giant United Guaranty Residential Insurance Company on behalf of all consumers for whom United Guaranty issued a mortgage insurance policy at a disadvantageous rate due to derogatory information contained in a credit report, and who did not receive notice that derogatory information obtained from a credit report was used in setting the insurance premium. The insureds claim that United Guaranty uses credit reports to set premiums but does not provide any information to consumers when an adverse decision has been made against them based on that report. The insureds allege that this violates the federal fair credit reporting act and are seeking actual damages as well as statutory damages and declaratory relief.
