CARWRECK.REPORT / FIX ERRORS
Fixing errors in your report
Some mistakes are easy to fix. Others need a different strategy.
| Type of error | What you can usually do |
|---|---|
| Wrong name, plate, VIN, insurance or address | Ask the agency to correct it, with proof (license, registration, insurance card) |
| Missing witness or detail | Ask whether the officer will add a supplement |
| You disagree with the officer’s opinion of fault | Rarely changed. Build the evidence for the insurer instead |
Agency practices vary.
How to ask
- Call or visit the agency’s records unit and ask how corrections are handled.
- Ask for the investigating officer by name and badge number.
- Put your request in writing, politely, with supporting documents.
- Keep a copy of everything you send.
If the officer won’t change it
That’s common. The report is one piece of evidence. Photos, video, witnesses, vehicle damage and expert analysis can tell a more complete story.
