  How do i contact this person and/or take the steps to get this blog domain?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  As tonybareham said, it’s not possible. There is no expiration on WordPress.com sites and a site can remain unused forever.

  You’ll have to pick another. Perhaps a version of before (be4, b4, etc.) is available.
