1&1 Internet, Inc

Revdex.com:I initiated this complaint as I received a notice of outstanding balance on approximately 8/14/and feared that my previous responses were being ignored.
Based on the reply to this complaint, 1&cancelled the outstanding balance on 8/7/and the letter I received was dated 8/06/So assuming this letter was sent just prior to the cancellation and no further requests for payment will be forth-coming from 1&Internet, I find that this resolution is satisfactory to me, re: complaint ID ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:There was no fraudulent activity.I repeat. There was no fraudelent activity. I provided valid street address, mailing address, billing address, telephone number. I provided valid credit card details I did not dispute a transaction.After having received zero responses to multiple written letters delivered certified mail to 1&1's published address for several months I tried to transfer the swiottrl.com domain before it expired but the new registrar notified me that 1&canceled the transfer.1&now has control of the DNS records, my service is down, and I am losing money as a result of 1&1's error.I thank 1&for their acknowledgment of and apology for the rudeness of the telephone guy. I'm still waiting for 1&to acknowledge and apologize for their other mistakes and to compensate me for my losses arising from their error and their negligence to act in a timely manner. Their mistakes include: failing to process valid and authorized credit card payments correctly; accusing me of fraud; closing my service without notification (I did not know it was canceled in March); failure to respond to official written correspondence.Please tell me how I can file a complaint with *** about 1&
Regards,
*** ***

Didn't use the website hosting nor the website, so 1&Internet was supposed to refund me close to $200, but I never obtained what was promised last yearThis was a message that was sent to the Revdex.com last year with someone working for the business saying I would get the refund mentioned above, but this never occurred yet

I attempted to transfer a domain to a colleagueWhen the process of doing this did not work, I contacted 1&customer service by phone January 24, They claimed it was on my colleagues endWhen I verified that this was not the case, I attempted to resolve this through email on January 24, with 1&customer service
On January 27, 1&informed me via email that someone had placed "A transfer of provider/change of ownership request"This was a third party unknown to me
On January 27, I replied via email stating:
"This request appears to be fraudulent
***DO NOT TRANSFER*** this domain to:" [contact information of third party unknown to me]
I also gave them very specific customer information for the transfer I was trying to initiate with my colleagues
On January 28, I received an email from 1&stating
" We have received your approval for a transfer of provider/change of
ownership for the domain"
I had not

This company has the worst customer service I have ever encountered as a professional Entertainer I was lied to on several occasions which I have recordings of (you know for my training purposes.) I asked on several occasions to speak with a manager or supervisor only to be put on hold as if they were looking for a supervisor and then only to be giving to another customer service agent.....I guess they think we are all stupid and don't know that trick, it wasn't until one of the second customer service agents let it slip when she said she couldn't do something I was asking for because she wasn't a supervisor which then I was like oh that's strange because I ask for a supervisor was put on hold for several minutes to locate a supervisor and when you came on you claimed yourself as a supervisor yet now you basically just told me that you scam me This entire site is a scam and I will do everything in my power along with my agent, my manager and my agency's entertainment lawyer to bring fraud charges against this company as well as reporting them to the Revdex.com I will recommend anyone looking for services like they offer to look else where because they have frauds and liars who work there and real management who never gets back with their consumers/patrons to resolve issues

they are a domain and hosting companyi purchased several domain packages and cancelled the auto renew option as well as cancelled the contract months before it was set to auto renew and they keep billing me for the packagesin order to cancel a package you have to enter your customer id and password three different times, they don't make it easywhen I finally got a customer service rep to address the issue their statement verbatim was ( of course they do not provide names or id #'s) " Dear *** *** (Customer ID: ***),

This is the most dishonest company I have ever had to deal with I paid for this service upfront I did not use it or publish a web site My loss Before the end of the paid one year term, they notified me that they were about to bill me for the next year I cancelled the domain name and made sure the reoccurring billing was checked NO They billed me anyway Thank goodness the bank had changed my account number When they contacted me, I told them that I did not want their service and they should not have billed me I was told they wanted a $cancellation fee I have not intention of paying this fee In Texas this is called "Deceptive Trade Practices" They are now trying to bill me for a service that I do not use, do not want, and will never use There are now Revdex.com complaints against this company I guess Germans cannot figure out how to earn money the honest way

This company has consistently delivered substandard service, which also involved an extraordinary amount of time to correct (my website was down and it took them multiple days to restore it)
The most recent issue has involved an unauthorized recurring chargeI tried to contact them by phone and they make themselves inaccessible!

This is a harassment complaint Someone named Mike L*** opened an internet account with this company I do not have an account with them, nor have I ever contacted this company Somehow my email address is on this account and I keep getting emails to Mike L*** asking for payments I don't think it is fraud related because apparently his invoices get paid at some point I feel it is just an error that needs to be corrected I keep calling the company and they keep telling me stupid stuff like sign in (which I can't) to change it, contact him (which I can't), email him (which I can't) I need the emails to stop

As is the resounding theme of the over complaints about this company, I too have become a victim of their predatory/dubious business methods
I have bought and owned numerous domain names over the last years, and one thing I never fail to do is uncheck "auto-renew." From all indications with my experience, and as reported by others, doing that with 1and is a waste of timeThey will reverse it and attempt to bill you
I registered domains for year with 1and 1, and selected auto-renew right awayFast forward, and I get a notice telling me about an upcoming renewalThat made no sense, since I opted out of a renewalI go in the account and cancel whatever was left of itIt said it had been canceleda few weeks later, and sent a "failed payment" email indicating they still tried to charge my card without express consent
I call and let the agent know I opted out of any auto-renew, as I only needed the two domains for year, and also canceled the account/co

Dear *** *** (Customer ID # ***, and # ***),
I sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience associated with these accounts having been set up, and the
balances being sent to collections
In regard to this particular matter, we are removing both of
these accounts from collections. *** *** will remove you from any
list that they have. As well, we are wiping clean the outstanding balance
of $ and $ that you have with either *** or 1&Internet.
No more money will be owed on either of these accounts and you will no longer
be required to contact *** or 1&Internet regarding this unfortunate situation
That being said, both of the accounts have been canceledMoving
forward, you will no longer be billed or invoiced for this service in the
future
Also, we are going to take the appropriate actions
necessary, once the call has been monitored, to ensure that other
people/potential customers do not experience this problem as well
Once more, we apologize for any inconvenience that has been
caused here

1andhas consistently tried to bill me for multiple domains I've declined to renew
As a result, I've spent hours trying work out what was going on with my invoices from 1andTheir website does not have any indication of a current total balance1andgave me different balances, each rep gave me a different number, and their automated system gave me yet another number
They have stated that there invoices due that are not visible in their online system, and I never received for domains I declined to renew
1andalso locks all other domains on a contract with a late bill, preventing you from managing or removing them from an automatic rebilling status

I cancelled my services with these people back in march and received confirmation that my account was cancelled and then I'm April they banged my credit card for which I was not aware of until I started getting collection agency calls concerning my credit card balance which because I thought my account was a t zero balance and *** *** was contacting me I was ignoring them with all the fraud going on with the interest charges accursed due to 1&is my credit card is up to over $from the $originally illegally charged by 1&and my credit report is now been hit for the 1st time in years - not to mention I have thought about a lawsuit but rather see what these is will do 1st to rectify this situation

In July of 2015, I purchased one year of hosting and a domain from 1&Internet, Inc(hereon referred to as "1&1")This payment was made in full for a projectIt is important to note that at no point was I notified I would be billed again at the end of the term unless I took action
On July 22nd of 2016, at 3:AM, I received an invoice via in the amount of $98.87, being told that my long-dormant hosting had just renewed and I would soon be hit by the charge in the form of a *** withdrawalHoping to avoid any conflict, I contacted the listed email address immediately upon reading this email at 9:AM of the same day, informing them that I received no notice of an upcoming renewal (and thereby no chance to cancel in advance) and had no desire to renew this packageI received no response, and was charged that $on July 24th at 9:PM

I signed up for a trial period (for a time limit I could not remember)Less than a month later I decided to cancel my contract and the only date it would allow me to cancel the contract was months after I opened it, so logically I assumed the trial period was monthsTurns out it was a month long trial periodAnd even though I filed for the cancellation prior to the ending of the first month, I am now being chargedI have attempted to resolve this issue with them on several occasions, all to no availEven after they failed to call me at the scheduled time, they marked the case as resolvedNever again will I do business with this shady companyI guess I will take my future business to G***The issue is now resolved and the money is being refunded (after trying to contact them times total), but this is still one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had
