Going to try and keep this short and sweet. I started a hosting company back in 2009, was just me and eventually grew in size. I ended up having to start hiring people and one of them that was with us for a short while I had setup an account with Dynadot to start catching auction domains.
Long story short, he left the company a month or so later, and now about 2 years later I go into the account to try and transfer one of the domains, and am unable to unlock the account.
Dynadot required birthday to unlock and if you don't have that you need the security question. I don't have the guys birthday and every attempt to contact him has failed.
Few things to note:
So now i'm left with what options I have available to handle this. My first thought was just to get a lawyer involved, but that could end up costing a good chunk of change and I want to try and keep the cost down as much as possible.
The only other option I could think of was to let the domains expire and try and catch them in the Dyandot auction, or if the price ends up going crazy out of control in the auction, just renew the domain.
Does anybody have any suggestions or thoughts regarding this? I've exhausted every option I can think of to prove to them it's my account but have not gotten anywhere.
If I do let the domains go into auction and expire, say I end up not catching one of them because someone snipes the bidding and gets it .... technically I could still renew it, right? As long as it's within redemption period?
Thanks guys!!

Few things to note:
- All domains under account were purchase with MY business credit card with MY name on it
- The email on the account has been setup to forward to my email
- The address on the account is my company address
- The phone number on the account is company phone number
