The company also seeks additional fees and surcharges that the further increase in costs for a number of potential drivers. In its rate filing Occidental failed to provide required data to justify additional rate is charged to policyholders, including the good drivers and do not justify their proposals for fees and surcharges.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"We have serious concerns Occidental proposed rates and this will have an impact on drivers without insurance different choices,\" said Attorney General Coakley. \"We have recently learned that a number of auto insurers in Massachusetts are not renewing contracts with multiple agents or agents of the city in less affluent, minority areas.

Residual market pool of drivers is that insurance companies consider to be \"high risk\" and usually do not have to offer policies. A \"high risk \"driver is someone who is insured, usually with poor driving record, which has to pay the losses that are above average.
