Updated on 31 March 2026
< 1 min read
Challenged information refers to information that a consumer disputes as incorrect. In these cases, the information should not simply be treated as settled or confirmed.
What this means in practice #
- Do not treat the disputed information as final.
- Log a dispute or support request properly.
- Include the Search ID and internal reference.
- Be ready to provide supporting documentation if requested.
- Wait for the review process rather than trying to force certainty yourself.
Important: Disputed items may be treated as under investigation while they are being resolved.
