# Support Request vs Complaint vs Dispute

These three routes are related but not identical, and choosing the right one helps move the issue to the correct path more quickly.

## How they differ

- A support request is for help, clarification, technical issues, or operational follow-up.
- A complaint is for dissatisfaction with service delivery.
- A dispute is for information you believe is inaccurate or that a consumer has challenged.

**Tip:** If you are not sure which route applies, start by explaining the issue clearly and include the Search ID and internal reference where relevant.
