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
We assess correction requests against the cited evidence. Unsupported claims may be corrected or withdrawn; a response or publication time is not guaranteed. For substantive updates, a visible correction note explains what changed, why it changed and the date of the correction.
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.
