    Just a shame you can't speak to them, trace the owners that easily, and have to pay a release fee with them!

    bizarre

    35 lost 49 held...why would I give up equityreleasemortgages.co.uk

    Anyway will check with Nominet to see if someone got into the account and changed contact details. I know someone has been trying to get into ibizavillas.co.uk

    Also got massive hits...why??

    Jay said whois may have a record of these type of things

    Hi Lee

    Equityreleasemortgages.co.uk was reged by our company back in 2004 along with equityreleasemortgage.co.uk on the same day. It was reged by us with ukreg.com and was simply available to register.

    dropped

    Apparently they were dropped on 2003 and if Nominet did email me then all hunkey dorey. I have been getting weird traffic volumes to some of the uk2 names...I will check with Nominet to see if the email address was changed prior to the renewal reminder/deletion notice being sent

    The registrant address would also have had a paper invoice for a direct renewal (one of the £94 jobbys).

    my cock up

    I am sure its my cock up...but worth a quick look given I renewed 49 but not 25 (not 35)....and the 25 included mortgage ones!!

    Just to make me feel worse I will list them on here and you can price them!!
