Currentness
(a) An insurer may not increase an individual insured's premium or assess a premium surcharge on the basis of any moving traffic violation records, any revocation or suspension records or any accident records, if any of the following occurs:
(1) The insured establishes that the records are erroneous or inaccurate.
(2) The citation is imposed under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1533 (relating to suspension of operating privilege for failure to respond to citation) and the insured is able to produce proof that he or she has responded to the citation and paid the fines and penalties imposed under that section. An increase or surcharge imposed prior to the date when an insured provides this proof shall terminate as of the date the insured responded to the citation which is the subject of the increase or surcharge.
(b) At the time an increase or surcharge is applied, the insurer shall notify the insured that the increase or surcharge will be terminated if the insured is able to provide the insurer with proof that the insured has responded to all citations imposed under 75 Pa.C.S. § 1533 and paid any fines and penalties imposed under that section.
(c) All insurers shall provide to insureds a detailed statement of the components of a premium and shall specifically show the amount of a surcharge or other additional amount that is charged as a result of a claim having been made under a policy of insurance or as a result of any other factors.
