For an alternative, take a look at Optery (YC W22). We've been flagging the situation at OneRep for years and put a statement out following the Krebs article (link below). We launched to the public as a Show HN in 2021 and as a Launch HN in 2022. Full disclosure, I'm one of the Optery founders.

Why don't you ask Google to remove pages, while you wait for the perpetrators to honor your page removal requests? I believe Google recently added tools to make this possible.

Optery hasn't addressed that yet, but right now starts at the source (the data brokers), and then submits removal requests to Google directly via their Outdated Content Removal Tool. Here's now it works: https://www.optery.com/optery-and-googles-content-removal-to...

Obviously I'm biased so I think Optery is better, but here are two un-biased reviews written by the lead analyst for security at PCMag.com:
