December 2001 on a downhill, in heavy city traffic, I was involved in accident that left a negative entry on the CLUE database.
By default I was cited (rear vehicle). I was found not guilty of causing the accident because 1) the front vehicle was at the intersection when the light changed to yellow and slammed on brakes being the proximate cause (so I am told), and 2) after I impacted the vehicle (and while light was still yellow) driver pulled thru the intersection and onto the side of the road (thus was not stopped).
My insurance company despite my objection refused to contest the other driver's claim and paid for the damage (actually totalled the car because the damage (trunklid and center bumper only)was supposedly more than 50% of value of car).
My auto insurance was increased 40% on the highest value vehicle on my policy (not the one in the accident). Now my motorcycle insurance was increased (different company) as a result of the entry on this database. It also became an issue during a credit check for a refinance of my home.
I have requested a copy of my CLUE record. To date, my insurance company refuses to make any corrections or changes because they paid the claim.
How can I either get the entry removed or contest the entry?
A little long, sorry. TIA, James
