What do your driving record and your credit report have in common? They both contain important information about you, they may both be incorrect, and they are modified by outside sources without your knowledge in most cases.
Most of us have done it before, we’ve gotten a traffic ticket, went to court and paid for the ticket. But did you know that sometimes that court may put the wrong citation and/or number of your points on your record? How can this effect you, I’ll give you more on that later on in this blog.
Similar to your credit report, I find that it is just as important to have an updated copy of your driving record, especially if you have recently changed states, driver’s license numbers, or have had a citation (especially if you battled it in court).
Having an incorrect driving record can cost you dearly, in the form of higher insurance rates and potential lost job opportunities. Having personally worked in the insurance industry for many years; I can tell you that it is NOT in the insurance’s companies best interest to discuss any new citations with you, because this is the perfect (and legitimate) excuse for them to hike your rates, sometimes up to 50%. In most states, citations fall off after 3-5 years, sometimes longer, but sometimes those citations may not fall off, and this can hit you where I know you won’t like it, your bank account.
4SafeDrivers.com makes it easy for you to avoid this, take a few minutes and order your driving record, and our research proffesionals will pull your record, double check it for errors, and send it to you. Our records are easy to read and understand, so once you get this record, you can double check and make sure all your information is correct. There have been cases where some our customers have found out that their driver’s license is suspended without their knowledge, due to a clerical error from the state, you do NOT want to be one of those victims.
If you do find a citation or error with your report, the jurisdiction is usually listed on the record, simply contact the city/township/county where the citation was received and have it cleared with them, then ensure that the DMV gets this updated for you.
In addition, once you receive your record from us at 4SafeDrivers.com, the service does not end there, we will offer you advice on how to move forward with any errors you may find on your report.
Accuracy is important, especially when it’s your name, and reputation on the line.
