Is Credit Scoring Valid?

To The Editor:

I read Michael Ha's June 30 article on credit scoring with great interest (see “NAIC Credit Scoring Debate Heats Up,” page 6). I have listened to the insurance companies go on and on about how credit scoring is so accurate in predicting insurance claim activity. I personally find it difficult to believe the companies' thinking on this subject.
