Corrections
Everything this site has got wrong, dated, with the original claim still visible. A verdict is never silently edited.
The rule
When a verdict changes, the original claim stays on this page, in our own words, next to what replaced it. Nothing is rewritten without a note.
A site that asks companies to be accountable for what they published, and then edits its own history when it gets something wrong, has no standing to ask. Keeping the original visible is what makes the rest of the site cost something. It means a grade can be held against us later.
Corrections are content in the repository, so publishing one is an ordinary commit and the record of what we got wrong sits in the same history as the record of what we said.
How to file one
Email the address in security.txt. The four things that make a correction actionable on the day it arrives:
- Which page, and which sentence on it.
- What's wrong with it: the fact, the quotation, the grade, or the attribution.
- The document that shows so, with a URL and the date you read it.
- Whether you're the company. You don't have to say, but it changes what we do: a company's reply is published word for word beside its verdict whether or not we agree with it.
Disputes that aren't errors are still published. If a company thinks a correct grade is unfair, that argument goes on its verdict page in the company's own words, under the same rule everything else is held to.
A correction that changes a grade also changes the scoreboard, the feeds and the public JSON, because all three derive from the same verdict instead of storing their own copy. There's nowhere for a stale grade to hide.

Equifax UK
The only route the notice states for refusing direct marketing is to contact Equifax or unsubscribe from each communication. It says nothing we can find about onward disclosure of marketing data, which we record as silence, not as a gap.
Equifax's marketing services, financial pre-screening, suppression, open register supply, mover data and postcode-level profiles, are supplied to customers in eleven listed sectors and to two named resellers, Acxiom Limited and CACI Limited. The way out is to notify Equifax, which adds some of your data to suppression files it may share with customers.
How it happened. We graded the broker from the MyEquifax and Website Privacy Notice, which covers Equifax's own direct marketing to its subscribers. Equifax's reply of 15 September 2026 pointed to the Credit Reference and Related Services notice, section 10, which governs the marketing services this entity is on the site for. Read against it, the refusal route is the same kind, a request to Equifax. The onward disclosure the first notice was silent on is stated there: customers by sector and resellers by name, which the rubric scores one grade lower. The clause we quoted was accurate. It was from the wrong document.
