Not sure if this has been corrected, but something to try with your new karma: overlay an existing POI you do not own with partially updated information. Wait a while. Now the original marker/google place will be updated (unverified and all).
I have a client whose competitors hijacked their places. First they changed the phone number, then marked the business as "closed", and finally replaced the URL/business altogether.
Of course, there's no recourse, not a person to get on the phone, etc etc. Took months to correct.
