I bought a domain about 2 months ago and with this being my first domain i thought I'd trust the person,But i tryed selling the domain lastweek but i thought I'd better check out the domain details first and the Registrant Status still has he's there.

He trasfered the domain to me via 123 reg and i paid him via paypal

domain.addict

Never used 123 Reg but it is domain shown as yours when you log in to 123 Reg?

Welcome to NamePros, Phil!

If you sign into your account, then do you see the name you bought listed there? If you do, but the previous owner's details still show up in the whois search, then you'll have to change the contact information for that domain in your account. If it's not in your account then it hasn't been pushed/transferred to your account.

yes the domain's in my account and the contact details but to change the reg name you have to pay £35 pound and both party's need to sign but he's now refusing,He's bloked me,Turned off hes phones and so on,I'm not going to lose a domain because of this silly rule noway

Chris

You're saying you have to pay to change the contact information on the domain in your account? I've never heard of a registrar charging to change that info. I've searched the FAQ's at 123reg and have found the following. I'm not sure who told you there's a fee to edit it.

By the way, why would both parties have to sign a document when you want to change the contact info on the domain? If 123reg does indeed require a fee and a signature, then they sound like fly-by-nighters. With the larger registrars, it's as simple as 1-2-3 to change the contact whois information.

Best of luck to you!

phil2k5

it does say in your link-
You may not change the registrant info. The registrant is the owner of a domain, and as such, requires more security. In order to change a registrant, you need to go through the Registrant Transfer procedure
I'm pissed off about that he could claim back the domain now even though I've damn paid

IAmAllanShore

So you didn't actually buy the domain? If it's in your account, then you have all of the power to edit all the contact information...
Something's not adding up, although we could all be saying the same thing, just differently...

What has happened (assuming its a .co.uk) - I know because I sold a .co.uk about 8 months ago (and off the back of it I will never buy or sell a .co.uk again!) - anyway... the person you have 'bought' the domain off can transfer the IPS-TAG to you quickly and easily and this would cause it to appear in your account so you can mod the DNS settings etc - however the actual ownership as far as nominet is concerned still belongs to the guy you bought it from until he fills in the stupid form (4 side of A4) and puts his payment in with it then sends it to you for you to sign and send back to nominet, to be honest it is easier to get divorced than transfer a .co.uk domain - nominet are making a right mess of the whole thing (IMHO)... apparently they are going to change it to a web based process but who knows when this will happen...
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=87251

you could always offer to pay the transfer fee and fill the form in for him as long as he signs it, this might help things along.

you could try getting nominet involved but they probably won't talk to you as you are not on their register!

Best of luck

I'm already paying for the trasfer he just needs to sign

and by the way i've emailed nominet about 8 times in the week and no reply

Castlemelody

Greetings!

Is this thing resolved?

Anyway, this is another reason why an escrow can help. No money is transferred unless everything is in order.

I hope you have your domain now Phil.

Nope still haven't got it he's been cocky saying i still owe him this and that from a few years back to make me pay more.. Can't i get 123reg or someone to help me seeeing as he trasfered the domain from them or could i let the domain name expire then register it from my 123 account?

phil2k5

I know what it is now its because he knows I'm going to make more money then he did from selling it ,I'm thinking about letting the domain to expire then buying it back can i do that?

Oblivion.

Yes, but you would need to wait for it to go through all the stages of dropping, then depending on the domain, you have a risk of loosing it if someone else has backordered it.

phil2k5

isn't there a way i can force this bastard to sign there should be an agreement when you trasfer a domain to someone you agree to sign over the domain this is the easyist way for scam!

and how can i find out if someones backordered it

phil2k5

Right Neo have got back to me and have told me to take this to court it would cost me £700? with me being a student thats not in my plans<Surely they can;t just email him saying hes agreed to hand over and needs to sign the form I'm sure he will sign if pushed by other people

Just a quick reply to my other E-mail I've just tryed contacting him and I've been blocked with my email address deleted by hes sister,I don't see why i should pay £700 when I'm trying to make the contact but can't?

phil2k5

ok just one question he hasn't signed yet,but today i got a letter from neo with a code to go on there site and change the reg name , So do i need him to sign now?

Oblivion.

If it requests any login details, make sure you check the URL is the site you want to be on first

floatingworld

it would appear that agreement re the paper-work for a co.uk name transfer must be made between the parties prior to payment being made. It seems that in this and other cases listed here that both buyer and seller were probably both innocent re the problems of .co.uk transfer...

phil2k5

Erm i hope i dont need the paperwork but i guess if i do i will live with it.

phil2k5

I've been trying to change the reg name of my domain for ages but the old owners been hard to contact,Anywayz 2 weeks ago on monday i paid him and he agreed that if i paid him he'd send the form off recorded before he goes on hoilday.Then on thursday he came on msn and swore down he has posted it and gave me a tracking number this is what i get-

phil2k5

For About 5 weeks I've been trying to get the old owner of my domain to send me the registant changing form so i can send it off and get it changed.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=87251

the first problem i sorted he asked for £4 because i owned him so i paid him via paypal (so i have proof) then it was 1 day before he went on hoilday and i txted him and spoke to him to remind him to send it off he agreed.

Later that night he came on msn messenger and gave me a tracking number for the form (Look below to what i get) anywayz it has now been 4 days and nothing as turned up,I dont have money to take him to court as I'm a student so i'm asking on advice.

3 separate threads merged. Why did you start 3 anyway instead of sticking to just the first one?

What country did he sent it from, and where is its destination? How long do your mails usually take anyway? Perhaps 4 days is too short a time to panic.

The first one got moved by a mod and i forgot about this one. Hes from scotland,uk and 1st class it just only take a day.

IAmAllanShore

2 of those days were 'weekend' days, right? Does your mail deliver on Sundays?
You might give it another day or two, and if nothing shows, he still doesn't have proof of delivery as long as your tracking information is correct.
Your best bet might be to keep contacting him... Just keep a level head, as I imagine he'd be even more willing to help you out if you came accross professionally
Best of luck, and let us know what happens,
Allan
