    Hello,

    We’ve lost access to the WordPress account previously managed by a former employee who is no longer with our organization. Unfortunately, that account was the primary owner and is currently the one associated with billing, storage, and site access.

    We need to update the account ownership and contact information as soon as possible to ensure continuity of service. Please transfer access and administrative control to the following email address: (email visible only to moderators and staff).

    If you require any verification or documentation to confirm this request, we’re happy to provide it.

    Thank you for your support,

    WordPress.com never gives someone access to another account just on de mand. You have to proof one way or another you.

    As you have a paid plan, you can use the Transaction ID to restore access to the account owning that site – https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/#verify-your-account-ownership
