§ 22:1507 — Exemptions from the use of credit information

Insurers shall provide reasonable exemptions from the use of credit information in underwriting or rating risks if the consumer can clearly demonstrate that his credit history is unduly influenced by a medical crisis, death of a spouse, identity theft, the personal guaranty of a business loan, or a catastrophic event as deemed by the commissioner of insurance. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to provide a consumer or other insured with a cause of action that does not exist in the absence of this Section.
