Hi all,
I received the below email from Nominet a couple of days ago:
For context this email was sent to me as an individual not a registrar.
I replied advising them that I had paid for the names and that invoice would be between Nominet and the Registrar Chris Bowler and not myself. But they sent another reply stating that I was responsible and if I didn't pay the names would be deleted.
I sent a subsequent reply again advising that I had paid for the domains on full and in good faith and that I could not be held responsible for Nominet's failure to obtain payment for invoices from one of their registrars, especially as some of the names there are wanting me to pay for date back around or over 6 months. I stated that I would be taking legal advice, which I am, and asked them to cc in their legal department also, but I haven't received a reply.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar and are Nominet correct in asking me to pay for something which I have already paid for again?
How would they approach this on a larger scale, say if GoDaddy didn't pay an invoice?
@whois-search any help would be appreciated as this seems right up your street.
Cheers,
DJ
p.s. sorry if any mistakes, on my phone at the moment as in Margate for a couple of days with shitty reception.
