Episode notes
Car Data Causes Hidden Insurance Hike
- Ken Dahl's car insurance rose 21% without his knowledge due to detailed driving data sharing.
- His 258-page report included 640 trips tracked by GM and analyzed by LexisNexis affecting his insurance score.
Opt Out of Driving Data Sharing
- Check your car and mobile app settings to opt out of any driving data collection features.
- Be vigilant as some enrollments happen without clear consent, possibly via dealership staff commissions.
Use Fake Security Question Answers
- Avoid using real answers for security questions as they're often guessable or online available.
- Use made-up answers stored securely in a password manager to protect your accounts better.
