Unauthorized Use of Domain Name and Personal Details

    I am the owner of stylinc.co.za. My previous partner set up a wordpress site with incorrect information on it.
    This site also gives my home address (which I do not want public) and my phone number.
    It shows up in google search results and is very unprofessional.

    Kindly remove it:

    Hi there,

    Your username is not the owner of the site, https://meagan000x.wordpress.com/. We cannot make any changes to a site without the verified owner’s consent under any circumstances. Your ownership of a self-hosted site with the same name does not prove that you own this WordPress.com site. Only a forum post from the correct username or an email from the address on file for that account can verify your ownership of that site.

    The easiest way to have that information removed would be to contact your previous partner and ask them to remove it, or delete the site entirely. Only they have the power to do this.

    If your contact information was added to a site without your consent, that is an issue for our terms of service staff. We cannot help with it in the public support forums. Please follow the instructions at this link to report the site if that’s the case:
