Dear All, We're currently in the same situation -- Network Solutions has taken back the year that we paid for right before the transfer a few days ago. We talked to netsol support and only got their standard diversion from the facts about "no refunds" in the policy that "you agreed to". We need to chargeback, but were wondering... has anyone found that netsol didn't accept any further CC payments from them after the chargeback was done, That would be a problem for us trying to rescue any other domain names that they are holding hostage.
Also, the focus in this list seems to be how unfair it all is and that netsol is a just big bully that you can't do much about, but my take on this is that netsol *has* to be doing something criminal here. From my point of view, we owned something free and clear (a year of registration) that was wrongfully *taken* from us by netsol. I believe most courts would call that theft. What legal action might be possible here? Obviously we're not going to hire a lawyer or travel to their state over a $35 dispute. Is anyone working on a class action suit? -Brad >On Thu, 16 Aug 2001 11:42:21 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: > >This is a known fact with netsol. For some reason they delay adding the >year at the registry.
