I have had an extremely difficult time with a double billing scheme with 1andIt has now been three days since initiating contact with 1andregarding a refund for this particular issue and I have not received anything from the companyI had to call several times to even get a reference number for a refundI would stay away from them and go to a more reputable competitor

Dear *** *** (Customer ID # ***),
I sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience that has occurred with your account and the domain: ***
When I first received this complaint, I forwarded the matter
to my Domain Specialist Matt, in order to investigate this issue and contact
you via emailI have followed up on the case to make sure that everything is
being taken care of correctlyAt this time, as you have already been informed of by my colleague,
the domain in question is no longer able to be recovered on our side, since you
had canceled it back on 4/22/14, and it has been registered by someone else
with another providerDue to that, the action that you wish for us to take is
beyond our ability or control
Once more, we apologize for any inconvenience that has been
caused here

……………………………………………………………………�...⇄ /> For our records associated with the Revdex.com Complaint that has
been filed, listed below is the most recent email that Matt sent to you in
regard to this matter:
Dear
*** *** (Customer ID: ***),
Thank
you for contacting us
We have
received a report through the Revdex.com regarding the domain
***, which was previously registered to you through 1&I
have taken the time to review this report as well as your account history with
1®arding this situation
While we
understand your concerns and desire to own the domain ***, we
find no indication of fault by 1&that would have led to the loss of the
domain ***Furthermore, the domain *** was
purchased fairly by a new owner through a different registrar company, and it
is unfortunately not possible for 1&to gain access to the domain on your
behalf
Your
account history shows that your account with 1&1, along with the domain
***, was explicitly canceled by you while over the phone with
one of our agentsSince you chose not to keep the domain, it was canceled
immediately as requestedAt that time it was removed from your account and was
no longer registered in your name1&does allow days where the
previous owner can still renew the domain name for the regular renewal fee
without any additional chargesUnfortunately, during this time you did not
contact 1&and request to keep the domainThe domain ***
then entered into a Redemption period.
The redemption period is a time in which the domain is already removed
from our system, however if it is necessary, we can restore the domain to our
system and allow the customer to regain access to the domain. This domain Redemption comes with a
processing fee of $40, for which the customer would be responsible if they
choose to regain access to the domain during the Redemption periodAgain,
during this time 1&was never contacted with a request to restore the
domain on your behalfPer the information provided in your report, it was your
intention to re-register the domain again as new only after it left 1&and
became available to the general public to purchaseOnce a domain is back in
general availability, 1&has no control over who can purchase the domain
In
summary, the domain *** was explicitly canceled by yourself on
April 22, No attempt to retrieve the domain was made by you during the
time the domain was still in our controlThis includes both the initial
days after cancellation and the additional Redemption periodThe domain
eventually became available on the market to the public, as it was intendedIt
was not until over months after cancellation that the domain
*** was purchased by a new owner on July 29,
Again,
we understand your concern and your desire for the domain name
***, however too much time has passed, and it is no longer
possible for 1&to assist you in recovering the domainOur apologies for
any inconvenienceWe hope the information in this email is clear and helpful
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. Thank you and have a nice day
If you
have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us

I have some domains through & they had my credit card on file to renew Something happened and it didn't renew I received a notice that my domain was canceled I called to take care of it and they said I had to pay an extra $to use it They have another account for me and it is confusing as to what is I have never heard of being charged a collection fee on a domainIt just gets canceled As a family we have had several domains with this company and have experienced nothing but problems We asked that all domains be identified because the way they do their accounts everything is not combined they have multiple accounts We moved several of them from 1&and then come to find out we have these ones

I canceled my auto-renew back on August 12, before my account was up for renewal and I got a confirmation email for itI called 1&Internet, Inc and told them to close my accountI was told that they'll close itI got a email from them asking me to pay because my account was past dueI called them and they told me the same thing that they will cancel it and make my balance $and I got a confirmation email that my services were cancelledMid October, I got a call from a collection agency on behalf of 1&Internet IncAnd I told them I dispute it and I called 1&Internet IncI spoke to Michelle from the billing department and she said that the account was closed and that they will retract the collection request and that my account is balance $ Michelle also verified that there was no other account at 1&internet under my nameShe also sent me an email with a ticket number and in that email is a message stating the following:

**Today, October 28,2016, I got a collection letter in the mail asking for $as of 10/20/(I disputed it before this date)**
This is the worst company I have ever been a client ofNot only are they harassing and threatening me with collection, they are wasting my time

1&turned me over to a collection company for a bill that I do not owe
I have tried numerous time calling their office prior to cancel services of which I never ended up using but could not get thru the phone system they have in place
once I did talk to a man named Joseph who told me he would connect me to the billing dept and no one ever answered the call
I am at wits end and want this collection off my account asap

I wonder how they have A+ rating instead of DDD- with so much negative reviews and complaints
This company is a joke \ scam
They offer $per domain, but in a year they will charge another $
and they will send multiple spam mails and make abusive calls trying to upsell your websites
there is no button to delete your account
And read other jiggery-pokery which they do

1andis the best web hosting we have found anywhere! Very prompt, reliable customer service, very fast upload speeds and good for Ecommerce small business to grow, and easy to use cpanel interfaceI'm very satisfied with this company - very competent - reasonable prices

I cancelled my account with 1&Internet several months ago, but I received delinquency notices dated 09/14/and 09/19/2016, which I received at the same timeI called to correct the issue and was assured that my account and past due amount were both cancelled(I have a case number for this call.) I received another delinquency notice from 1&dated 09/28/This one stated that my account was pending collectionsI called again and was assured yet again that both my account and past due amount were being cancelled, though neither had actually been cancelled at this point(I have a case number for this call as well.) Most recently, I've received yet another delinquency notice dated 10/03/2016, again stating that my account is pending collectionsAs of the writing of this message, I am planning to call 1&again in a few minutes, but I'm not holding out hope that the issue will be resolved without a third party

I have two domains registered with 1&that are set to expire on 5/28/and 5/29/Today is 5/27/at 4pm1&decided to cancel both domains todayWhen I go to each domain in a web browser I receive a message stating that the domain has expiredWhen I called to make a payment the person on the phone could not explain why the domains were cancelled day and days before the expiration dateThe best she could come up with was that they start cancelling early because they want to make sure the domain is cancelled at midnight of the cancellation dateShe could not explain why both domains were already showing as cancelledAs a result, both my domains can't be accessed, even though I paid before the expiration date

I made a purchase for a domain name on 4-17-17, and saw that the domain went through and was approved I expected that funds would be taken either within the same day or up to days later They were not I received my Invoice Summary days later, and found out that they still did not take out the funds from my account At that point, I called and asked them why it was taking so long and also to stop the payment, as I had not expected to wait so long The first customer service rep was fabulous and tried to help the situation and stated that it could take UP TO DAYS to go through There is NO information on the website (as per the second and very rude representative) that states it could take this long to go through I told both reps that had I known that it would take this long, I would not have purchased the domain from them and gone elsewhere At the end of the call, I was very frustrated and told them to cancel the account, even though I needed the domain name A con

Hello,

Best,

I had called and cancelled domains (Customer ID: *** , Ticket No*** )and they confirmed will issue refund to the account which is chargedBut they never issued a refund and when I called them they told its used for other domain renewals in my account which they never mentioned anywhereI clearly told them I don't want to do any renewals and I need a refundI had called again them on Friday and the support guy confirmed the money will be refunded to the *** account and nothing happened yet
I had send emails and they never responded properly to it and they need to call their billing every time, which took almost mins for a call and now I had spend $30-to call them to get a refund of

I signed up for their $domainAfter waiting for them to take cents out of my *** account, they emailed me saying they were waiting for paymentI gave them a credit card and they still couldn't get paidThen they emailed me a bill and I told them I tried to pay them and if they can't get the money out they should just forget about itToday I got a collections notice for $When I called *** *** *** (bill collector) I got voicemail for someone who was not even in the office

Letter received on June 27, alleging that I owe $to be pad immediately for customer ID***-***-***for invoice # 2***delinquent since May 30, The letter requests that I make a payment immediately I have no knowledge of any such services ordered

Dear *** *** (Customer ID # ***),
I sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience associated with the account you had with us
Our records indicate that this account had been canceled
back on 3/6/14, however, the domains: swiottrl.com, and cetiisqu.org were still
registered in your name up until 12/16/At any point during that time, the
domains would have been able to be transferred to another provider, in order
for you to utilize themSince they remained under this canceled account, they
expired on 12/16/14, and we have no control over the *** regulated process
for the amount of time that it takes until they are able to be purchased again
Along with that, we would not have been able to override any cancellation that
was issued by our Security Team due to some sort of fraudulent activity that
was found within the accountThat being said, since this account had been
canceled, and the domains in question are not registered through us any longer,
there is nothing further we can offerThe domains will have to be purchased
with a new provider once they become available again
Once more, we apologize for any inconvenience that has been
caused here
Thank you
