Corrections Policy

Keeping important information accurate and current is part of our publishing process.

Mortgage programs, laws, servicing rules, foreclosure procedures, and other source material can change. When that happens, related content may need to be reviewed and updated.

This page explains how we handle corrections and how readers can ask us to review something.

Keeping information current

Some updates happen because the information behind a page has changed.

For example, a government agency may issue new guidance, a mortgage program may change, or a state may update part of its foreclosure process.

When an important source changes, we review related content and update it when needed.

Our Review Process explains how we check important information before and after publication.

What we review

We review reports about issues that may affect the meaning, accuracy, or usefulness of our content.

That can include:

an incorrect fact,
outdated information,
a source that no longer supports a statement,
an incorrect calculation,
missing context that changes the meaning,
or an important source link that is broken or incorrect.

We focus first on issues that could affect a reader's understanding or next step.

How corrections are handled

When an issue is identified, we review the information and the source behind it.

If a change is needed, we update the page and review the related information again.

Depending on the change, we may also update:

the review date,
the supporting source,
related pages,
or other content that uses the same information.

This helps keep connected information consistent across Short-Sale.com.

Routine updates and material corrections

Not every change needs a public correction note.

Some changes are routine updates, such as:

replacing an outdated source,
updating a program date,
fixing a broken link,
or improving wording for clarity.

A material correction is different.

If a change corrects information that could meaningfully affect a reader's understanding or decision, we may add a note to the page explaining what changed.

The goal is to make important changes easy to understand.

Report something for review

If you see information that may be inaccurate, outdated, unclear, or missing important context, please send it to us for review.
