Request a correction to a CARFAX Report
Report Discrepancies•Updated recently
If you believe that information on a CARFAX Vehicle History Report is inaccurate (e.g. incorrect odometer reading, ownership records, or accident history), you can submit a Data Research Request:
Submission Steps:
- Go to the Contact Us page and select Report a Concern.
- Enter the 17-character VIN and fill in your vehicle details.
- Under Correction Type, select the specific category of the discrepancy (e.g., Odometer, Accident, Title Brand, Ownership, or Other).
- Explain the issue in detail.
- Attach Supporting Documents: We cannot verify or alter report data without official documentation. Please upload:
- DMV Title or registration documents
- Police accident reports
- Insurance documentation
- Official dealership repair or service invoices
Once submitted, a Resolution Manager will be assigned to your case, verify the documentation with the reporting entity, and email you a final decision. You can also email supporting documents to ConsumerResearch@carfax.com referencing your Case Number.
