No, not any more. Insurance companies have been quietly using credit reports and scores to better determine the riskiness of the insured for a bit over a decade.

Having a bad credit history does not necessarily mean that one will not be offered a policy. Rather, one may pay higher premiums to do so.

Those with challenged credit, more than anyone else, should always shop different insurers (if searching on the internet) or use with an insurance broker that does the leg work for you.
