We could not verify this route on 2026-08-30, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Turnaround it states: Normally within 48 hours for online requests; within 28 days for postal requests
Republishes the Open Register (formerly the edited electoral roll), Companies House and telephone directory records. A successful request removes records from all of those sources. Opting out of the Open Register itself is done separately, through the local electoral registration officer.
The ground to use
It relies on legitimate interests, so a bare deletion request is easy for it to refuse. The request that works pairs an objection under Article 21(1) with the erasure ground that follows from it, Article 17(1)(c).

- What if 192.com refuses or ignores me?
- It has to tell you which exemption under Article 17(3) it relies on and why. If the deadline passes with no answer, that is itself a failure to comply, and you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
