    Don’t recall seeing anything saying I was declaring to be someone I wasn’t as would not have proceeded.

    No address or the former owner was seen as domain had my address and no name or email viewed or stored prior to me changing.

    released to tag and now in the company name as it was on their behalf I was testing the situation.

    You won't be able to do that at Fasthosts not the ownership details. All you can do is change the admin email address at fasthosts. Fasthosts will update Nom with the new email address. Then go to Nominet and send a password reminded from Nominet. That email will now go to you, log into Nom and send yourself a transfer email.

    It is on that email that you need to claim to be the owner and that you are authorised to transfer it.

    I released then transferred. Couple of clicks without seeing anything in wdm.

    If you've just moved it to your tag then it will still be in the original owners details. At some point you would need to change the registrant, that's the point at which it will ask.

    My post above is the method for doing it without a tag.

    what can nominet actually realistically do about this, surely the main fault is with the registrar?

    They need Fasthosts votes so they won't be doing anything or they will lose their bonuses. Big Circle Jerk

    I'd like to see them reverse the transfers since they weren't done by anyone authorised to do so

    I'd also like to see any registrar who did this banned from being a registrar

    By Law, both fasthosts and Nominet have to report it to the information commissioners office.

    Acted in good faith, paid a good fee 12.50 for 1 year uk o_O:eek: and the main factor had no ‘intent‘ to steal something that was at expiry or to obtain anyone’s details.

    if nom rule in general and not on a case by case basis that this shouldn’t have happened I’m more than happy to hand them back to fast hosts for a full refund.
     
  12. Good faith isn't transferring a name that isn't yours before its free to register to the general public, and then telling nominet that you are the contact on the domain and whether you choose to look at the personal information you've stolen is by the by really.

    You didn't do it as a test? You are openly admitting taking the name without authorisation and you used your own tag?

    Are you mad as well as dishonest?

    Just seen the part where you demand a refund if you get caught stealing. Absolute lunatic.

    Yeah, I'd rather let people do their own looking, just in case, but if they did contact the owner and buy it legitimately, they're pretty busy as I've just seen another one from today, same tag...
