Corrections Policy
Last updated: September 4, 2026
Personal Finance Answers aims to publish accurate, useful financial education. When we identify a material factual error or receive a credible correction request, we review it and update the content when appropriate.
What we correct
We may correct inaccurate facts, outdated legal or regulatory information, incorrect calculations, broken source references, misleading wording, mislabeled examples, or material omissions that change the meaning of an article.
What may be updated without a formal correction note
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, broken-link, or clarity edits may be made without a public correction notice when they do not materially change the article’s meaning.
How correction requests are reviewed
We compare the disputed statement with reliable sources, giving preference to primary or authoritative sources when available. We also consider whether the issue is a factual error, an outdated statement, a difference in interpretation, or a matter of opinion.
Material corrections
When an error materially affects the meaning or conclusion of a page, we may revise the affected language, update supporting sources, and update the page’s modification date. Where appropriate, we may add a brief correction or update note.
Outdated financial information
Rates, tax limits, government rules, credit practices, financial-product features, and program requirements can change. Information that was accurate when published may later become outdated. We treat meaningful outdated information as a reason to update a page.
How to submit a correction
Email support@personalfinanceanswers.com or use our Contact page. Please include:
- The URL of the page
- The statement you believe is incorrect
- Why you believe it is incorrect
- A reliable supporting source, if available
Good-faith review
We review legitimate correction requests in good faith. We are not required to adopt every requested change, especially when a request is promotional, unsupported, abusive, or based on a disagreement rather than a factual error.
Commitment to transparency
Our goal is not to avoid mistakes entirely; it is to correct meaningful mistakes responsibly when they are identified.
