Correction & Removal Policy
Operator: IGL Partners LLC · Working name: Broker Verify
1. No report is ever permanent-without-recourse
A report on Broker Verify can always be disputed, corrected, withdrawn, or removed. We reject the practice — used elsewhere in this industry — of making reports permanent after a short window, or of “deleting” a report while quietly keeping it visible. When a report comes off a broker’s profile, it is gone from what others see and from the broker’s grade.
2. The lifecycle of a report
Every report is tagged with a status, and every change is written to an append-only audit log so the history is transparent:
- Published — passed format validation and is live.
- Disputed — a broker (or affected party) has contested it; it stays visible with a “disputed” tag while we review on the facts.
- Corrected — the documentation showed it needed adjusting; the corrected version stands.
- Withdrawn — the reporter pulled it; it leaves the profile and the grade.
- Removed — taken down for a policy violation; it leaves the profile and the grade.
3. Who decides, and on what basis
The neutral operator resolves disputes on the documented facts — the load-tied evidence on file — not on pressure, volume of complaints, or who shouts loudest. We do not adjudicate a payment claim’s “truth” at publication; we adjudicate a dispute by comparing the reporter’s evidence with the broker’s response.
4. We never charge to remove a report
There is no paid or expedited removal, ever, and we do not suppress reports for payment. A “cottage industry” of paid report-removal cannot exist here, because removal is decided only on the facts and the policy — never on a fee. (FTC Consumer Reviews Rule.)
5. Right of reply
A named broker may claim its profile and post a public response on any report and on its profile, in addition to or instead of raising a dispute. Reports are shown without load-identifying details to protect the reporting carrier; the operator reviews the full evidence privately.
6. This is not legal advice
Broker Verify is a neutral host of carrier-submitted, load-tied facts. This policy describes our intended practice; it is not legal advice, and how to pursue any specific dispute is a decision for you and your attorney.
