The goal is to separate your file from anyone else’s data before working deeper disputes.

- 2Flag any item that belongs to another person or another version of your file.
- 3Request correction of identity details before or alongside account disputes.

Because identity-layer errors can be the reason other inaccurate accounts or addresses are appearing in the first place.
