This is a good article about the service/tool that Google has available to remove some of your personal info that is showing up on the internet.

I think I actually used this service. I don't recall the exact procedure but there were two websites with my personal information, one was 411.ca, I believe, and the other had my address on it. Google got the first one taken down but said they couldn't do the second because they seemed to think it wasn't person enough. They suggested it should be used for credit card numbers, driver licenses and the like. I'm going to give it another try.

Also, there are paid services that will find if companies have your personal information and then automatically send removal requests to them. Sometimes they have full 14- or 30-day trials that can let you remove it one time. Other times they're limited to just showing you what they have and you have pay for it to get it removed. These services are more about information that companies have about you, not what shows up in search results necessarily.
