How to submit a correction
Email editor@theratesguy.com with the page URL, the specific claim being challenged, and the source that supports the correction — a California Department of Insurance filing reference, an official carrier rate sheet, a court record, or a published government data source works best. Screenshots help. The clearer the source, the faster it ships.
How we handle them
Every correction request is read by the editor. Verifiable corrections are confirmed against the cited source and published within one business day. When the page is updated, a visible correction note is appended to the page describing what was wrong, what was changed, and the date of the correction. The original error is not silently rewritten. If a correction cannot be verified, the requester gets a written reply explaining why.
What counts as a correction
Rate discrepancies between a published number and the carrier's current CDI filing. Attribution errors — wrong source credited, wrong author quoted, wrong agency named. Factual mistakes about California law, carrier availability, ZIP coverage, or driver eligibility. Typos and broken links also count; small fixes still get logged.
What does not count
Disagreements with editorial opinion, with how the desk ranks lanes, or with which carriers get spotlighted are not corrections — those are opinion disputes, and they go to the contact desk as feedback rather than as a corrections request. The desk reads every reasoned opinion email, but the page does not change unless the underlying fact does.
