Not as such, as you need to find what's the source of their information and if you do point out the error, they will usually answer with something like "I'm just a Database, I'm not responsible for what's been put in me, what do you want me to do about it". Maybe added continuation of "I can agree with the information being disputed, if you want me to do that".
