KING 5 recently reported on a little-known database called CLUE�Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange�that can affect consumers� property and auto insurance rates without their knowledge.
KING 5 interviewed a consumer named Mike Schultz whose auto insurance rates went up because of an error in his CLUE report. After doing some digging, he found out that his CLUE report erroneously listed a collision that he witnessed, but was not involved in.
So what should consumers know about CLUE?
