  I tried changing account name FROM voilaconsultancy.wordpress.com TO buysmartpolicy.wordpress.com
  BUT, it is not allowing saying that buysmartpolicy is held by somebody else. Actually, buysmartpolicy was used by me earlier in another account, but I renamed it to buysmartpolicybkup.
  STILL, I am unable to use buysmartpolicy

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

  Hi voilaconsultancy,

  Unfortunately, it looks like “buysmartpolicy.wordpress.com” has been deleted, and once a site or address is deleted it can never be used again, nor can the username be recycled. If you want to change your blog address you can change it to something other than “buysmartpolicy” by following the instructions in this support document:

  For more information on what happens when a site is deleted and on the impossibility of recycling blog addresses:

  Hope that helps!
