disbelief

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'refusal to accept as true' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bids i feel flawed' is the wordplay.
'flawed' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'bids'+'i'+'feel'='bidsifeel'
'bidsifeel' anagrammed gives 'DISBELIEF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for disbelief that I've seen before include "Lack of faith" , "Refusal to advance credit" , "having exhausted trust fund?" , "Incredulity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
