I mentioned vs I have mentioned

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I mentioned' is simple past tense and is used to refer to a specific time in the past when something was brought up. 'I have mentioned' is present perfect tense and indicates that the action of mentioning occurred at an unspecified time before now.
