OV **Last updated: May 24, 2026** · Reviewed by: [Owen Vargas, JD](/authors/owen-vargas/) **On this page** What happens if I report a mistake? How do you decide if something needs correcting? Where can I see what you've already fixed? What mistakes cost borrowers the most money? How can I report a suspected error? Frequently Asked Questions When you spot an error on a financial comparison site, you need to know it will be fixed fast and tracked transparently. At MeridianWallet, we treat corrections as a accountability tool—not an afterthought—because even small inaccuracies in loan terms can cost borrowers hundreds of dollars. ### Our Correction Standards - We acknowledge receipt of any error report within 24 hours. - Every claim is verified against a primary source within 48 hours. - Verified corrections trigger an immediate page update and public logging. - This site relaunched in May 2026; no corrections have been issued yet. - Last reviewed: May 25, 2026. ## What happens if I report a mistake? We respond within one business day. You will receive confirmation that we've received your report, followed by a timeline for our review. We do not dismiss user reports or delay acknowledgment while we investigate. The 24-hour receipt window applies whether you contact us through the site form, email, or social channels. If you do not hear back, that itself is a process failure—please escalate through the same channel with "ESCALATION" in your subject line. ## How do you decide if something needs correcting? We verify against primary sources only. That means lender rate sheets, state regulatory filings, or direct communication with licensed issuers—not secondary articles, press releases, or competitor sites. This 48-hour verification window protects you from hasty changes based on misunderstanding. It also protects the integrity of our data: a correction that introduces new error is worse than the original mistake. Our [fact-checking policy](/fact-checking-policy/) details which sources qualify as primary and how we handle conflicting information between sources. ## Where can I see what you've already fixed? Every verified correction appears in a public log on this page. You do not need to submit a records request or contact support. The log includes the original error, the correction made, the date, and the source that confirmed the accurate information. Transparency here serves two purposes. First, it lets you verify our responsiveness if you're deciding whether to trust a rate quote. Second, it creates institutional memory: patterns in corrections reveal where our sourcing or review processes need strengthening. ## What mistakes cost borrowers the most money? The most expensive errors on payday-loan comparison sites fall into three categories, each avoidable through the process described above: 1. **Stale APR displays.** Rates change weekly; a quote from last month may be off by double-digit percentage points. We timestamp every rate and flag quotes older than 14 days. 2. **State eligibility errors.** A lender licensed in Texas cannot lend in New York. We verify state-by-state licensing monthly against [regulatory databases](/fact-checking-policy/). 3. **Fee omission.** Origination fees, late fees, and prepayment penalties often hide in footnotes. We require lenders to confirm all fee structures in writing before listing. Each of these errors can turn a manageable short-term loan into a debt cycle. Our correction process exists specifically to catch them before they reach you. ## How can I report a suspected error? Follow this checklist to ensure we can act quickly: 1. Capture the specific page URL and the sentence or number you believe is wrong. 2. Note where you found conflicting information (lender site, state regulator, etc.). 3. Include screenshots with timestamps if the error involves a changing rate or term. 4. Submit through our contact form with "CORRECTION" in the subject line. 5. Expect acknowledgment within 24 hours; if missing, escalate with "ESCALATION." The more specific your report, the faster we can verify. Vague complaints ("your rates seem high") cannot enter our 48-hour verification track. ## Frequently Asked Questions Do you pay people who find errors? No. We do not offer bounties or rewards for corrections. This prevents incentive distortion—reporters should flag errors to protect borrowers, not to earn income. What if the lender says your rate is wrong but you disagree? We hold the published rate until we can verify the lender's claim against the same primary source standards. Lender statements alone do not override our existing sourcing. How do I know you actually changed the page? Check the public corrections log on this page. Each entry links to the revised section and shows the date of change. You can also compare page timestamps in your browser's cache. Do you correct opinion content or just facts? We correct factual claims only. Analysis, recommendations, and "best for" judgments reflect our editorial assessment and are labeled as such. If we misstate a lender's product terms, that is corrected; if you disagree with our conclusion that a product suits a particular borrower type, that is feedback, not a correction. What happens if you can't verify within 48 hours? We notify the reporter of the delay, explain the sourcing conflict, and provide a revised timeline. If verification fails entirely, we remove the unverified claim and note the removal in the corrections log. *Last reviewed: May 25, 2026.* #### Related policies The trust stack around our content.
