DMCA takedown - but no notice in GSC

I've had a page taken down from Google due to a DMCA, I only noticed as rankings tanked. Its in Lumen, but not in my GSC, so I can't get a reference to appeal it with Google.

When I go to Google, its definitely gone, and the DMCA message is there... but GSC totally quiet on the topic.

Anyone else seen this? How to solve?

DMCA is a message that explains what you should do to resolve a DMCA removal. Google doesn't have much to do with the process. There's nothing about it in GSC because they have nothing to do with DMCA removals. It s between you and the claimant.

edited to add - Your host should be able to supply information on the claim.

its fine. I worked it out. I thought to do a DMCA appeal with Google, there was only 1 form, but there are 2. One requires the id from GSC one does not. not2easy - not quite sure what you are talking about.
