Slow manual removals, so be patient and persistent.
Removals are processed manually and can be slow, and some users report requests being ignored. Only enter details that are already shown in your listing, never extra information.
Why you come back
This one does not re-acquire, so a completed removal holds. Most do not: the holders that buy public records re-buy them about every four months, which is why the rest of this register is re-checked rather than ticked off.
Opt-out processes change. If a step no longer matches what you see, tell us and we’ll update it.
