Thanks
But frankly I'm fed up with trying to get answers vis-a-vis the £40 admin fee being disproportionate and unjust. I think I'll wait for my complaints to run their course.
Thanks for those of you who have given advice... but now we're going in circles.
Bye all! Beware of...
I have already had all this explained, and anyhow already knew the rules for gtld domains, thanks.
I asked several questions regarding extortionate fees to 123reg customer support, and was given a standard copy & paste answer about the gtld rules.
In my correspondance, I quoted UK law...
Thanks for your advice. :) and I've certainly taken your earlier posts onboard. My posts were in order to explain what happened to me and my client, and to warn others. I hope Acorn members as well as non members who land here will be forewarned.
Whilst I appreciate any offers of advice -...
As I've said... I've made complaints to a couple of places, and I'll see how that goes. No money is being spent at all, it's free to make a complaint. The complaint took all of about 4 minutes to type, not really wasted time. Sorry you feel your time was wasted in defending 123reg.co.uk and...

Thanks

I'm sorry, but you may have missed my point, and are defending the undefendable. 123reg renewed the domain for a further year. It's not actually in any 'so called' grace perdiod, thats a big fat lie by 123reg. It should have already been on the open market by then, but now is not due to...
If enough clients who have been scammed this way report this activity to Trading Standards (if the company is UK based), then maybe we will put a stop to this type of dishonest activity by them.
Technically, they are Cybersquatting on domains and using the silly term 'redemption', when...
123reg.co.uk have also charged me £40 admin fee to renew a clients .org domain which they say went into 'redemption' period. The domain is one that no one else would possibly want, so my client asked for it to expire so they register it in another country that has lower fees. After doing a...
