I was able to do it with a particularly annoying bottom-feeding data-broker, "mylife.com". Their latest scheme was to assign people a bullshit "reputation score". I found this really offensive and it made me angry enough to try to get my name out of their database. Some youtube video showed how to do it.
It required a frustrating ~15 minute phone call (the number is somewhere on their website) to an Indian call center where they tried to upsell me a dozen times or so. But I was polite and persistent and asked to have my name removed over and over. That was almost 2 years ago. It seems to have worked. My name doesn't show up anymore if I search on mylife and no mylife pages appear on google searches for me.
I still do get emails EVERY DAY from these MF'ers. It's just bullshit about how there's a "negative" item in my reputation and that "7 people are looking at my reputation". AFAIK, it's just automated junk, because my name doesn't come up any more on mylife.
