    Did you ever own the domain? If so, that site is probably caching it. It'll change eventually. If not, this is a problem with the domain owner and you'll need to contact them.

    First of all, thank you all for the replies.

    Yes, but the domain is for more then one year not my property anymore that's why i request that 'metros' will update this website

    From his profile, he was last active yesterday:

    [​IMG]

    He's reading your PMs, he's just ignoring them. Nobody can help you contact him if he's already reading your messages.

    But is it illegal to put wrong info on your website?

    That depends whose laws we're talking here. While ICANN requires every domain name to
    have complete and accurate information, that only applies to accredited registrars.

    Unless you have some enforceable agreement with the other party in question, you can't
    really force them to do anything for you. If I were you, I'd let this go and move on.

    I have the same problem as you...
    He doesn't even need to remove the info, he needs to update it at least.

    It depends on how much you care. You could have a lawyer said him a "firm" letter about why he needs to remove the details, or (as Dave Zan mentioned) let it slide.

    Well, actually, there are some other things you can do (but not as simple):

    1. Start doing some reputation management for your name, to get this site further down the search results.
    2. Get a court order to have the link removed from Google search.
    3. Get a court order to have the site owner remove your details.
    4. Put pressure on the webhost, who can in turn put pressure on him to remove the details.
    5. If the site is hosted in Europe then you can use the data protection laws to your advantage for pressuring the site owner (or host).

    Out of those five, though, I would go for #1 as this is the easiest to do.

    I registered to try and delete my personal data, as is my right under EU law. I will let you know about the outcome.
