CategoriesBusiness & Finance

CLUE stands for Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange, an insurance abbreviation.

LexisNexis database of home and auto insurance claims, typically covering the past seven years, that insurers check when quoting new policies. A home's CLUE report shows prior claims on the property even under previous owners.

Example: Ask the seller for a CLUE report to see if there were past water claims.

Usage notes

Consumers can request their own CLUE reports free once a year under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Even an inquiry about damage that does not become a claim may be recorded by some insurers, so homeowners are cautious about calling to ask.
