My wife and I recently located to CA.  We just got turned down on auto
insurance. Now I have not had an accident in 22 years though I did
get a ticket for going through a stop sign 4 1/2 years ago in Mass
I didn't think that would stop me getting insurance. My wife has
2 accidents in 4 years and one ticket for speeding she never showed
up on the report the insurance agent showed us.

Obviously we have to have auto insurance. Both cars are financed and
it is required. We were turned down by fireman's fund.  I thought it
strange when they required at least a 75,000 home owners policy to
write auto insurance.  

Now I hear CA auto insurance is mess. You have to stay away from
some companies.  One of the national news programs had a segment
on auto insurance in CA and the fact CA has no regulations like
East Coast states.  You wind up paying hugh premiums and can never
collect on an accident.

Can someone make some suggestions:

1. how does one get insurance without being perfect in every way?

2. what does one watch out for in selecting an insurance co?

3. How do i get non factual information removed from records?
   Seems this wasn't a state to state information transfer 
   rather it was bought information from some private data bank.

thanks
