# Vercel custom domain linked to another account despite DNS verification

## Problem
I have a custom domain connected to Vercel DNS correctly, including the required `TXT` verification record, but Vercel still says the domain is linked to another account/team.

## Current Status
- The domain points to `76.76.21.21` and the verification `TXT` record is publicly visible.  
- The domain currently resolves to Vercel but returns an error because the old ownership claim still exists:

> **Error: DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND**

I do not have access to the old team/account. Support AI pointed me to a team URL, but it returns `404` for my current account.

How can I get this domain manually released by Vercel staff?

Can anybody help me?

I see only one project and no domains attached to your current account, is there any chance you made a second account by mistake and that's where your domain is? The most common way this happens is signing in via email one time and then via github another time
