Hi folks

Just had a series of emails from Nominet saying that a number of my domain names which were due for renewal in December were not renewed.

So I looked at my invoices from 123-reg and they are all paid for and of course my debit card has also been charged by them when I renewed it.

So I've fired off an email to 123-reg to see what is happening and also to Nominet.

But has anyone else had this problem with 123-reg taking your money for a renewal but Nominet saying it has not been renewed.

cheers

I have just had similar emails from nominet.
Will be ringing 123-reg tomorrow.

If you google for this, you'll find that this is not an uncommon event. I first encountered this a few years ago when a customer forwarded me the email from Nominet and complained that he'd already paid me for the renewal, again like you I had the invoice and the bank statement showed a debit on the same day. They eventually resolved it, however I had to find a contact of a contact who worked at 123 to get it resolved.

The only real way to be sure your names are handled the way you would like them to be is to get yourself a Nominet membership and a TAG and do it yourself, I've not looked back since I signed our company up for membership.

Strange that on my renewals for 17 december there was only one com, which has been renewed. Seems to be a problem with .co.uk

Now gets weirder, as i renewed some domains, com and co.uk, with them yesterday.
Just checked whois, and THEY have been renewed.

thanks for that, found 4 names renewed on the 15 dec that haven't been processed.

Just had an email back from 123-reg (yes, same day and on a sunday, lol)

Hopefully 123-reg are sorting this out.

But I wonder why it has happened in the first place.

I usually check my renewals and I'm sure it was showing the correct renewal date the day after I renewed, so there must have been some breadown between 123-reg and Nominet.

We should be told by 123-reg what actually happened.

cheers

To be fair, I think this was a Nominet problem and not a 123 problem - it is described as "a Nominet issue" here on their site:

My domains now showing in whois as renewed.
