Corrections

How to report an error and what happens to it.

Drafted with AI assistance and checked by a person. Its factual claims were verified against the sources listed at the end, by Find Me Funders editorial.

If something here is wrong, we want to know.

Email [email protected] with the page URL, the figure you believe is wrong, and where the correct figure is published. A link to the lender's own page is the fastest route to a fix.

What happens next

A researcher re-reads the source. If the figure is wrong it is corrected and the page records the correction and its date. If the lender has changed its terms since we checked, that is an update rather than a correction, and the date-checked stamp moves. If the lender's own pages contradict each other, we leave the field blank and record the conflict, because publishing one of two conflicting numbers as fact is worse than publishing neither.

If you are a lender

Send the URL on your own site where the correct figure is published. We source from lender disclosures, so a disclosure is what we can act on. We will not remove an accurate figure because it is unflattering, and we will not add one that is not published somewhere we can cite.

Related questions

What does this guide cover?

How to report an error and what happens to it.

Are the figures here quotes?

No. Every worked example is labelled illustrative and exists to show the arithmetic. What a particular lender charges is on that lender's page, where it publishes it at all.

Who writes this?

The Find Me Funders research desk. Some drafting is AI-assisted, and every page that is says so at the top, including whether a person has checked its claims yet.

How do I know a figure here is right?

Where a page carries the green notice, its claims were checked against the sources listed at the end and a reviewer is named. Where it carries the amber one, nobody has verified it yet and you should confirm anything you plan to act on.

Are the examples real deals?

No. Every worked example is labelled illustrative and exists to show the arithmetic. What any particular lender charges is on that lender's page, where it publishes it.

Why do you never say what a typical rate is?

Because we cannot source it. A market average assembled from lenders who do not publish prices is a guess with a decimal point on it. Where a lender publishes a figure, we show that figure and say where it came from.

Is this financial or legal advice?

No. It is general information about how these products work. Outcomes depend on your contract and your state, and a lawyer or accountant licensed where you are is the person to ask about your situation.

Can I reuse this content?

Quote a paragraph with a link back. Do not republish whole articles.

How often is this updated?

Each page shows when it was last updated. Legal and regulatory material is re-checked when the underlying rule moves, and the page says when it was last read.
