    Hi there,

    Are you speaking of mypanagia.com?

    That site doesn’t belong to your account. It and its upgrades belong to a different account. But your account has been added as a user on that site.

    Please contact that developer and ask them to remove your account from their site.

    In future, please don’t do this. No one but you should ever log into your account.

    If you need to give someone access to your site to do work for you, you can instead invite them as a user. That way they log in using their own WordPress.com account, and you’ll be able to clearly see in the site’s Activity Log which actions on the site was taken by the other user. You’ll also have full control over what permissions they have, and you can remove them from your site at any time.
