No me consta: I don't know if it's true/ I'm not certain/ I haven't got any information who says me so.
No consta / no lo consta; it's not written/it's not in the content of....

Nobody has sayed me /I don't have any information

Yes, Poli, it doesn't contain
Think of it as an abreviation of "no tengo constancia de..." (I have no proof of)
or "en este documento no hay constancia" (there is no proof in this document)
