  I have had set up a wordpress.com blog and had mapped it to groombridgesculpture.co.uk. This blog was transferred to my account and administration passed to me, but I am not able to access it, and it is no longer accessable by the person who transferred it, yet she has had notifications of the mapping expiry. The domain name mapping has now expired, (The domain is registered outside of wordpress) and I have set up a new blog under a new name chrisgroombridge.wordpress.com. with a view to map the domain groombridgesculpture.co.uk to this new site. When I go to do this, I am notified ‘This domain has already been mapped to a WordPress.com blog.’
  Please help! Any ideas?

  What’s the address of the domain you are referring to?

  Note that if you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password over here.

  Please follow the instructions carefully. You’ll receive two separate emails during the reset process, so make sure you read them both. If you don’t receive the emails right away, check your spam folders as well. The confirmation emails can get caught in them sometimes :)

  Hi
  Thanks for you quick reply. The domain name is groombridgesculpture.co.uk. I have set the name servers back to 123.reg.uk, the default setting. When I type in the domain, it goes to 123.reg.uk however, when I type in the old blog groombridgesculpture.wordpress.com, it still goes to groombridgesculpture.co.uk.
  The domain mapping expired on 30th November 2013.
  The user who set up the original blog and transferred, johoweartist, cannot see the original blog listed on her blog list but is getting notifications about the mapping expiry of groombridgesculpture.co.uk

  I am still using my original wordpress account chrisgroombridge, and can access this.

  I removed the domain mapping upgrade because it was expired. Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
