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.
Keeping it removed
Most people-search sites keep ingesting fresh public records, so a removed listing can reappear months later under a new URL. The reliable fix is cutting off the sources where you can (for UK users, start with the open electoral register) and re-checking periodically.
