Washington–Three insurance trade groups have filed a brief blasting a federal appeals court decision that would require carriers to notify customers when charging them more for homeowners coverage based on their credit background.
In submitting their brief the organizations joined a legal effort by The Hartford and GEICO, who were the defendants in the case that led to the credit ruling. The insurers are asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to give a full court, en banc, review of the ruling by one of its panels.
The Hartford and GEICO filed separate motions for a review with the court. The American Insurance Association, the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies and the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America joined in a brief citing the need for full-court review and asking to be certified as friends of the court.
