These people have never lived at my home, but I continue to get mail for them. I also get calls on my cell phone for these people.When I ****** the persons name I found them on the usphonebook website. I tried to complete the form to remove my information, but it seems to be a scam and I can't get passed the main screen. There is no email address for this company and when I call the number I get a recorded message stating to complete the form.I just want my name, address, and any personal address removed from this website.

    Per FCRA and other Personal Identifiable Information (PII) privacy protection rules and laws, I am attempting to exercise my right to Opt Out and have them delete my information. Their website, day-over-day, week-over-week, for three weeks now, is not functioning the way they claim it should. Whether I access the link under "Privacy" or "Do Not Sell My Information," and after entering my email address, accepting their terms and conditions, then completing the Captcha, the "Submit" button remains greyed out and you cannot proceed. When you go to Contact Us, complete the request, click Captcha then move to Submit, it claims to have a "Captcha Error" and you cannot proceed. Lastly, when one calls the 888 telephone number they have listed, you get two options that result in recorded messages only and no matter what other number you press (trust me, I've tried all of them), you get no where. No ability to speak to anyone. No ability to leave a message. Nothing. These people are in violation of federal laws on allowing someone to protect their information and it's aggravating as h*** they're hiding behind a website, making money selling our information as a "data broker" and not giving **** about peoples rights. I've attempted to try this over the course of three weeks. I'm not just sounding off after one haphazard attempt. Please help. ***** frustrated and downright angry. Oh, BTW, I've followed this process on no less than 15 other sites (Been Verified and others) and it worked seamlessly. Thanks in advance for the time and attention.

    Better Business Bureau:

    First of all, Thank You!...to BBB for assisting with this resolution.

    I have validated the removal of my information on their website, and that of my wife's. 

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to my concern, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  

    Please...for the sake and sanity of others, PLEASE fix your website to properly function per the posted instructions and provide confirmation of submitted requests.  The time and effort that people have to go to, via BBB given there is no other obvious option, is ridiculous.

    A review and analysis of date clusters of the BBB complaints over the last several years, suggests that USPhoneBook periodically has issues with their website and these complaints are submitted in batches.  Almost suggests that (can be interpreted as) BBB is working as proxy IT support....wait for the complaints to come-in to discover the issue and then decide to address.  Not sure if the website ever actually gets repaired....?  

    Ultimately, thank you USPhoneBook for your response and action.  We are appreciative.

    I have made multiple attempts to opt out with no success. I followed their directions and verify I'm not a robot, but never get past that, it never begins the removal process. Same problem when using the Contact US method. I feel this is a deliberate attempt on their part to keep people from opting out.

    Today, 2/3/23 I discovered that my name, address, age, phone number, etc. are listed on this site for the whole world to see. I'm 70 years old and concerned about safety issues. I tried to opt out of the site, as they've given directions to do, but the feature does not work and there is no one to speak to about this issue. I really, really want to have my information removed from public display. I believe this is fraudulent activity that they say you can opt out, yet the process fails to work when you try to submit the request.

    When I drill down from the link, ************************* in ********, **********, 70, that information is gone and inaccessible. However, I'd like the link that says ************************* in ********, 70, removed altogether. It still shows that I live in ********, ********** and that I'm 70. I'd at least like the number 70 removed from the link. Thank you!
