Where this section sits in the code
  1. TN Code
  2. Title 56
  3. Chapter 5

If an insurer takes an adverse action based on factors that include credit information, the insurer must provide notice to the consumer that an adverse action has been taken. That notice must contain the reason or reasons for the adverse action, described in sufficiently clear and specific language so that a person can identify the basis for the insurer's decision to take an adverse action. The notice must include a description of up to four (4) factors that were the primary influences of the adverse action. The use of generalized terms such as "poor credit history," "poor credit rating," or "poor insurance score" does not meet the explanation requirements of this section. Standardized credit explanations provided by consumer reporting agencies or other third party vendors are deemed to comply with this section.
