I work for a company where an employee made our website. Unfortunately, he developed bad feelings with some of the other employees and he ended up quitting after a few months.
He is gone, but his website lives on. Naturally, he has quit updating it. Our hours AND phone number have changed (people, believe me when I tell you it's been an interesting year.) He linked his website to google maps etc.
I don't know if this really qualifies as libel but he has not answered any of our messages requesting that he either take the site down or give us the password so we can maintain it. This website is giving people wrong information about our hours, phone number etc. which potentially hurts our business. For instance, the site says we are open on Sundays but we are no longer open on Sundays. So far that we know of, two people have showed up expecting us to be open and no one's there. I don't know how many others have been disappointed this way.
He won't return messages or answer his phone and, frankly, he seems to be enjoying our helplessness in this situation. Is there a way we can get the website taken down on our own?
