Not sure how secret it is, but in many states your credit score can be used as a rating factor in determining your auto insurance premium. Insurance companies charge you more if you have bad credit.

That sounds very illegal

We used to call it your "insurance score" when I worked insurance about 10 years ago.

Damn, fascinating and evil haha. Do you know if one of those states is the United Kingdom? I might spread the word amongst my friends and family.

Sorry, I meant states in the US because that's where I'm at. Based on a quick Google search it seems that in the UK this is also the case.
