i made a formal complaint about uk2 a while back to nominet when they were at their height of not answering 20 'support enquiries' , unable to push domains, non-functioning site etc, still having old 'pushed' domains in my control panel. buyers able to see my past invoices & details etc horror!
nominet admitted they could do nothing, i did consider trading standards myself.
in the end, thought best to vote with feet & then blog & post what i really thought, hoping they will lose business.
other countries views are awful in relation to uk registrars.
maybe icann is worth a buzz? i know a canadian guy i sold a domain to hates uk2 & can't believe their ways. he has approached tucows & icann i believe
(i've heard heart internet are good, never thought i'd hear myself say, but have been very happy with 123 this past year much improved.)
just wondering what new tricks uk2 are pondering to rip off the unsuspecting & masquerade it as something else? i'm sure we'll keep everyone posted
incidentally, if you tagchange away from uk2 & are with another registrar, obviously your old panel is inactive with k2. having trouble understanding how uk2 could then theoretically (in their eyes of course) try & charge you for email redirection?
to be really safe remove all your 'card details' etc from uk2 so they can't stealth charge you.ring them up (when they answer phone) & make sure all the renewals are switched off. (get a name to be safe)
basically i trust these sharks as far as i can throw them! you may have got that drift.
AVOID at all costs! never use this joke outfit!
