## Where you see it

Only inside the hosted flow, which handles it. You don't need to handle it in your app or on your server.

## What it means

Someone else uses this charger. Your user sees "This charger belongs to another account".

With `claimable: true` they can also tap **Ask to add it**, which starts a claim:

* the owner is emailed and has 7 days to answer;
* meanwhile your user can prove they're at the charger by plugging a car in and out.

<Screen name="claim" alt="The hosted flow waiting for the owner to answer a claim" />

## What to do

Nothing in your app. A claim can succeed after the link session ended: the charger then appears at the link session's site.

On your server, `GET /link-sessions/{link_session_id}` lists the claims and their status. See [Link sessions](/sdk/concepts/link-sessions).

## Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "https://developer.plugchoice.com/sdk/errors/identity-taken",
  "title": "Charger belongs to another account",
  "status": 409,
  "code": "identity-taken",
  "detail": "This charger is already connected to another account.",
  "claimable": true
}
```
