Removal guide · Person Searchers
The address this site gives out for opting out doesn't go anywhere any more. Follow it and you land back on the homepage, which is also where most removal guides on the web will send you, because they're still quoting the old one. The form itself is alive and well at the address in step one, it costs nothing, and it takes about five minutes plus an emailed link you have to open afterwards.
Want the background first? The Person Searchers profile covers who operates the site, the three sister domains on its filing, and its place in the 2024 MC2 Data leak.

The three sister domains · separate forms
Getting delisted and stopping a charge are different errands. The form does the first one only. Cancellations go through (833) 567-9375, and it's worth doing before the five-day trial rolls over, because the terms treat fees as non-refundable once they land.
The steps
Use personsearchers.com/api/helper/optOutLight/search rather than anything the site links to itself. You want the page headed "Remove My Information". Give it a first name, last name, city and state. Zip, phone and email are offered as optional, and they are, though supplying them narrows a crowded result set. Press SEARCH, and expect a run of CAPTCHAs rather than a single one.
Results arrive under "Select the person you would like to remove", each with an age and a string of previous cities. Those two details are what separate you from a namesake, so read them before clicking anything.
One pass handles one record. If an old address, a maiden name or a middle-initial variant has given you more than one entry, each is its own listing and each needs its own run through this form.
The closing form asks for an email, full name, address and phone so Person Searchers can tie you to the record you chose, and SUBMIT sends it. A spare or masked email does the job here. There's little sense in handing a people-search company a fresh identifier in the act of removing the ones it already has.
The part people miss is what happens next. The site says it replies within 48 hours and that the removal completes when you open its message. Submitting is not finishing, so keep an eye on that inbox for a couple of days.
The sisters
Private Records LLC files four domains with California on one row, and this is one of them. The others are PeopleSearch123, Background Checkers and privaterecords.net, and a listing on one usually means a listing on the rest.
Sharing a filing is not sharing an opt-out. Each domain posts its form to its own address, so four submissions is four submissions. Worth knowing before you start that Background Checkers can't currently be finished at all, because its form hides behind a CAPTCHA with no readable letters in it, and that one needs a written request instead.
Confirm
Look yourself up again a day or two on, and try a search engine with site:personsearchers.com beside your name too, since listing pages get indexed and can outlive the record itself in a cache.
Keep the confirmation email. It's the only evidence you made the request, and the only thing worth producing if the listing comes back.
If it fails
The opt-out link on the site goes to the homepage. That's the fault this guide exists to route around. Use the address in step one.
No email turns up. Check spam, then run the form again with a different address. Nothing else triggers that message.
Back after a few weeks. This brand sits on an aggregator backend, so a cleared record can return the moment fresh public-records data flows through. Resubmit, and keep your dated captures.
Still being charged. That's the phone number above, not this form, and the terms make fees non-refundable once the trial converts.
Staying off
Removal here is a snapshot rather than a settled state. The site rebuilds from public records and upstream brokers, so the same details can reappear months later by way of a source you've never heard of. Look again every few months, and look at the other three on the filing at the same time, because the fifteen brands sharing this backend tend to resurface together. Redact's data-broker scan keeps that list so you don't have to.
Redact scans 120+ data broker sites from your device, finds where your details are listed, and submits the removal requests for you. If a broker relists you, it files again.
