Respond or Dispute a Listing
If you are named in a report, you have a standing right to respond publicly — free of charge, always. This page explains your options; the actual response form is linked from the specific listing.
Find the listing first. To respond to a specific report, go to that listing page and use the "Respond to this report" link — it opens the response form pre-linked to that listing. Use Search to find the listing by name or number.
Your options when responding
- I am the person named — provide your side of the story, with documentation if you have it.
- I represent the business named — respond on behalf of the business with relevant records.
- This is a case of mistaken identity — flagged for expedited moderator review.
- There is a specific factual error — request a correction; the original stays visible with the correction added alongside it.
- Private information was exposed — flag content that shouldn't have been published.
- The content violates the Community Content Rules — flag for a Content Rules review.
- The matter has been resolved — note the resolution, with documentation if available.
- I have new evidence relevant to this report — submit new information for moderator review.
What happens after you respond
A moderator reviews your response to confirm it's a genuine response from the named party, then posts it alongside the original listing. If you disagree with the outcome, you can file one structured appeal — see how corrections and appeals work.
You will never be asked to pay to respond, correct an error, or appeal a decision. No payment of any kind removes or suppresses a published listing — see our Governance commitments.
