Hello namepros community, i have been on here for a couple of years now. I don't commonly post on here but I need some advice. Please don't judge me too harshly and try to understand my situation before judging. To make long story short I've been buying and selling domains for a couple years now maybe since like 2014. Dropcatch.com is like the best drop catcher but I have been banned for life because I failed to pay for a $500 domain back in like 2018. At the time I was working a low paying job at godaddy in their customer service department and I kept trying to start different side businesses that all failed. I ended up getting into a lot of debt. I registered maybe like 3k-4k domains hoping I would get lucky but they were all terrible. I ended up declaring bankruptcy and this domain I failed to pay for happened to be the final straw before I lost everything. I have not had anything like that happen anywhere else. Perfect pay history at godaddy and even on here if you look at my review you can see I try hard to do good by people and keep my word. I have since tried to contact dropcatch.com on multiple occasions to explain my situation and even offered to pay for the domain I failed to pay for even though I did not get it. They said it doesn't matter and I'm banned for life. Normally I wouldn't care but I think they have a monopoly on drop catching so now I feel I have no chance on really good domains I want to catch and get for cheap. So my question is does anyone know how I can effectively catch domains without using dropcatch.com or am I pretty much screwed forever in this business of catching valuable names? I'm not looking for anything for free I actually make good money now as a loan officer. Just need advice from the pros. Thank you again for taking the time to read this.
