1&added a new service to my account without authorization from me I cancelled as soon as I noticed and could jump through all their hoops
I wrote an email on Sept 26th explaining this was unauthorized, and to please adjust my account
No response They did, however, issue a postal letter threatening to take me to a collection agency
I wrote again on October 6th asking someone answer
No answer I did get an automated email telling me they are charging an additional $for service beyond the end of my cancellation date
Seriously I can not get anyone to answer anything I'm in automated hell
Threatening collection action over unauthorized charges** OF ONE DOLLAR, SEVENTY CENTS AND NOW AN ADDITIONAL FIFTY THREE CENTS!! **
I am *shocked* this business rates "A" with Revdex.com given the sheer volume of "billing / collection" complaints

I purchased a domain name from 1&Internet for what showed to be a special price of $with tax on June 15, The same day I purchased this domain name, I was unable to access the "control panel" on the company website, and after multiple attempts to do so, not being able to use the domain name I purchased, I attempted to cancel my purchase - which showed to be an action I could result
On June 15, @ 8:15pm CST, I received a Confirmation email that my request to cancel my purchase was "confirmed" and would be processed "As Soon as Possible"
I then noticed on my credit card statement that the amount of this domain name showed $17.17, so I disputed the transaction with my credit card company
I then received an email on July 5th, from 1&acknowledging an "error" in their "invoicing system", stating I was "incorrectly charged full price" for the domain name that I originally purchased, but was actually cancelled
I then contacted 1&cust

1andcontinued to charge me for a service despite my providing them with written confirmation of cancellationThis has gone on since January
On Jan 8, I wrote to them via email, regarding their MyWebsite feature: "I have been trying to call and cancel this feature this morning but I have been transferred to one phone line that wasn't open yet and then, when I called back, I was put on hold and then my call was dropped while I was looking up my Customer IDI only agreed to sign for this feature, after one of your reps called me, and only so that you could get feedback on your product - I have NO need for a type of product like thisPlease remove this feature from my accountI do not want to receive any bills for this."
Their response was to send an email from one of their representatives, directing me to log into their website and cancelI did that and I got another email stating that they had received my request but in order to complete my request I needed call

1andInternet suspended my website, www.***.com over an unauthorized charge on my account which was previously disputed and resolvedFor several billing cycles they have attempted to debit my bankcard, for some service that I neither needed or wanted from the companyAt first they charged me for two domains I cancelledThen they tried to charge me for antiviral softwareThe last is a local listingThe provide a convoluted control panel which does not work, and use this to add unwanted charges to accountsThat is their ammoNow they are trying to hijack my dotcom domain because I refused added costsSpeaking their customer service has proven ineffectiveI want them to stop unauthorized charges and activate my website!

I've been with 1andfor several years(Customer ID: ***) They've been hosting a large number of domain names for meJust recently, I decided to drop a few namesI've done this in the pastI opted out of payment using the auto renewal feature by switching it to 'off.' I've been getting charged for these namesWhen I talked to them I had to speak with their "cancellation team" which wasn't aroundI spoke with the billing team and asked why this was happeningI'm not incompetent and know what needs to be done and how to navigate, they had no idea how to resolve thisFinally spoke with the cancellation team and was giving instruction via email with the subject heading Re: ***I returned the bulk cancellation email on March 13th and have not heard from them since to acknowledge that this is being taken care ofI do however keep getting billed from themI never sat down and taken time from my life to complain about anything till nowThese guys have horrible customer

I purchased a domain with 1& One week ago, I noticed my website was down due to a domain issueI contacted 1&about the issueI asked several times to speak with a supervisor regarding the issue and I was denied I was told my account was in collection To say the least, I never received an email asking for payment to renew my domain, I received no telephone callsI received no letters from this company about a renewal of my domain To date, the domain is up for saleI believe there are unethical practices being carried out by this company I need them to fix this chaos they have created

I have been trying to locate a contact number to receive assistance but always seemed to to be redirected to something that never provided me with the information I requested

Dear *** ***,
We are more than happy to look into this matter for you, however, there was no
account number provided for us to properly research and assist youIn regard
to the problem that you have brought to the attention of the Revdex.com, I was not
able to find an account under your name that has an outstanding balance due to
*** as you had referenced
On the notices that you have received from *** *** ***, there is a “Creditors Account Number” that is listed. If you can please provide that to us through
this complaint, I will be able to find the account in question, and look into resolving
this unfortunate situation for you
We apologize for any inconvenience that has been caused here

Business kept separate contracts unbeknownst to users after prior cancellation of serviceEmails from this company have been considered "spam" in nature by most email clients, and have made it so any of their "attempts" to notify are intentionally designed to be ignored
They then sent it to their own in house credit collection agency to attempt to strong arm the former client for money they "owed" that they previously had no idea they were even being charged forThis is possible do to a "feature" of their site that I recently found out is called "Auto-Renew" which is non-standard in domain and hosting servicesIt WITHOUT my consent, toggled itself on and renewed a contract that was sharded off of a previously cancelled contract that they considered separate, but neglected to relay
They also go through as many obstacles as possible to make it difficult for you to have control over your accountYou cannot remove a payment methodYou have to remember a user id number instea

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, however, *** *** is way off base on his wording How dare him insinuate that my mother opened this account!
1) This WAS a fraudulent account - my mother DOES NOT own a computer or anything like one !
2) Don't tell me that no more money will be owed on this account - my mother has never sent any money to you people on this bogus account In fact, the first time we ever saw a statement was June 2014!
My advice to this company is to never, ever send another piece of mail to my mother's address I don't ever want to hear their name again!
Regards,

this company is the worstThey lied to me for four months about their ability to support a remote-desktop applicationThen the server got hacked - and they offered almost ZERO support while ransomeware destroyed my filesThe servers are terrible and not secureNow, it turns out this vulnerability was a 'known issue' They are garbageDont think you will save money with themYou will end up switching I would have sued them but it was too much of a distraction It actually undermines Revdex.com's credibility that this company has an A+They have negative reviews and positiveHow can that be A+? BEWARE!

They have a policy to continually bill for services on an annual basis that is automatically renewed annuallyThe consumer has days post the bill to cancel services and bill regardless if payment has been renderedSo if your payment method is out of date, you forgot about payment, their only form of reminder is an emailThey require no legitimate confirmation for an additional year if you'd like to pay for their servicesIf your payment is invalid they put you in collections for a debt you never asked forIf you finally learn of said problem, they won't even allow you to cancel services for services you never used, instead asking for the additional annual premium with no pro-rateIt's all or nothingIf you go on their website trying to cancel services is an extremely step heavy process as they probably make a substantial portion of proceeds from consumers who continually are involuntarily renewedI can't believe they're allowed to have contracts that annually self renew with

I have deactivated the auto-renewal this company's services on April 11th , and received confirmation via emailThe auto-renewal was set to May 7th It was a clear and simple cancellation of servicesHowever, their appears to be an ignoring the cancellation request and continued to charge my credit card, which I have disputed the charge with my credit card company Last week, I received an account delinquent notice from 1&for the services not wanted nor used

1&(Complaint)
Posted: March 21, RBPdoNotUseInternetSevices
I was charged for a service I did not request, and locked into revolving contract without my consent or authorizationWhen calling 1&internet about this, they refused to help me, and so I am reporting this company to the Revdex.com, and to every place so that this doesn't happen to many more unsuspecting people
Other online complaints state that, this company ignores their request to cancel and turns them over to a collection agency right away

I opened a contract with 1andfor a virtual cloud serverAfter a week my account was closed without noticeI callled 1and(after my angry clients called me) and they said they didn't know why it was canceled since the department that canceled my account is on holiday

I paid this company to host my webpage last yearThis year I received a bill for an excessive amount, not wanting
to do further business with them, I simply ignored the solicitationThey have since sent me nasty letters saying that I owed
them money and have been constantly calling my business phone number at work
I have recorded proof of over calls in one day( I am filing against them)
I don't owe them anything and would like them to go away and stop calling
I wish I would have never dealt with them,

I cancelled this service in April and they are still sending invoicesPlus, the actual product was garbage
