Despite confirmation from the film's director, and providing the evidence, imdb won't remove my inaccurate credit

I have been trying for years to have my name removed as the director and composer (I've never composed music before) on a project called The Zombies (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800967/). I've successfully been removed from this project as an actor, after multiple attempts. After much effort, I managed track down the film's writer/producer, whom I've never met or worked with before, and had him attest in an email that I was never involved in his project. Despite sending this evidence to imdb multiple times, they keep refusing to remove these 2 credits.

I have tried, with no luck, to have my name removed from another short film, Smokestack (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3670972), but have had no luck being able to contact the filmmakers involved (none of whom I've ever met or worked with), so I doubt imdb will ever remove this credit, especially as I can't find it online and therefore can't screenshot it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is already a composer called Oscar Harding credited on this project (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm13369773).

Can I (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2051768) be removed from this project as a composer, as another person called Oscar Harding is already correctly credited from this? and the zombies? It would make sense that someone with my name who only has composer credits is the correct Oscar Harding, and not me.

I am correctly credited on several projects I wouldn't say I was proud to be associated with, I'm just hoping to be correctly credited in projects and fields were I have worked.

Hi @Michelle, this short film is not available online to screenshot, and the producer/writer has said I am not involved in this project. It seems like there is nothing I can do to have this inaccurate credit removed from my profile?

Hi @oscar_harding -

As per the screen grabs posted above on this thread, it has been confirmed that a credit for "Oscar Harding" exists on the title "Smokestack".

If you didn't work on the film, it may be likely that another individual with the same name as you did work on the film. If this is the case, you can request to move the credit to a new page through our online Update form, however, the credit itself should not be removed from the site.
