Instructions

US Search (www.ussearch.com) will sell any information they have on you to anyone willing to purchase it. Go ahead and put your name and state into their search and see what comes up. You may be shocked. They even have known relatives linked to your name. If you send them a request through the postal mail, they will remove you off of most searches. This is from their website:
US Search obtains most of the information for our products and services from partners who generally obtain it from public records. We do not maintain or control the public records, and we are unable to remove your name from any public records. However, we do offer a free "opt-out" service that prevents your name and address from appearing on most, although not all, searches conducted on USSearch.com.

Go to this page on their site to opt out of their search. www.ussearch.com/consumer/optout/submitOptout.do

Intelius (www.intelius.com), like US Search, sells background reports to anyone willing to pay. Reports include your birth date, court records and address history.

Go to their contact page and email them to find out how to have your name and information removed from their site. www.intelius.com/emailcontact.php

WhitePages.com is an online directory available to anyone. It lists your name and address in its search results.

You can remove your information via an online form. Your name, city and state are required, along with a reason for removal. You can select General Privacy Concerns.

From their website:
To remove your listing from WhitePages, follow our fast and simple online listing removal procedures:

* Search for your listing information on www.WhitePages.com
* If your search includes multiple results, click on the "Listing Details" link for your listing
* Scroll down to the "Privacy Options" section and click, "Is this you? Remove your listing"

Will WhitePages re-publish listing information after it has been removed?

We take steps to block the re-publication of listing information once it has been removed. However, similar listing information may be published. For example, if you move or change your name, a listing with your new information may appear on WhitePages. We encourage you to visit WhitePages regularly to check if any new listing information is published and, if you choose, remove that information.
