Removal runs through the PeopleConnect suppression center.
US Search uses PeopleConnect's shared suppression center, so one suppression request generally covers Intelius, TruthFinder, and Instant Checkmate too.
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.
