    I've searched for the personal url that the National Public Data online form requires, but I'm unable to find it much less place it where it needs to be. I want them to remove all my personal information in its entirety, but currently have no other contact source to reach my objective. Please email me your suggestions.

    Recevied email from Discover Card stating that they found SSN on Dark Web --- previously all emails from Discover Card were stating that they had only found my email address. Went online to Discover Card and looked at details (and there were three instances yesterday) that Discover had emailed me about in which Nationalpublicdata.com had taken my birthdate and social security number and placed on dark web -- previous to this, in all instances that Discover Card had emailed me about, Nationalpublicdata.com had been giving away my email address. This company needs to stop this as they could potentially ruin people's lives and credit that I have worked extremely hard to get and keep --- what am I supposed to do now. Attached screen shots of details from Discovercard. Please note that addresses in details are previous addresses from my parents' house, and my old address prior to moving less than five years ago.
