Any way to go about other than authorization code?

inspiration100 · 05-19-2008, 06:40 PM

A domain company (I will refrain from naming them) is holding my account and has locked it since I was rather rough (yes, and possibly rude) to them about some issues with my domains. They are holding 5 of my LLLL.com domains. They still have my email as the registrar, however they have locked my account. My question is... is there any way to transfer the domains without having an authorization code (and using my registrar email instead)? Any way at all?

Just to make myself clear, I am not trying to steal any domains... I am trying to reclaim what was mine from this registrar.

Thank you!

they just can't locked you out for being rude/rough unless you forgot to pay, that's another story. if reseller the main registrar can intervene (might) if registrar themselves, icann can be used to report them but they act slow sometimes no action from them.

So in other words... No way around this?

The authorization code is absolutely required for a domain transfer. No way around that.

However, if the domains rightfully belong to you then it is against ICANN regulations for them to withhold the auth codes from you.

Is this company an ICANN accredited registrar, or a reseller for one? If they are a reseller, you may be able to go direct to the parent registrar for relief. Otherwise you may need to file a formal complaint with ICANN or initiate legal action.
