My Letter to 1and1 !!

Hello 1and1,

I monitor my domain names daily and have since started moving my entire
portfolio over to GODADDY. Since your services have proven to be on bad
faith and your personnel have dropped the ball on this transaction, I have
no need to conduct business with 1and1 anymore, and will spend the next 6
months transferring names that should have NEVER been registered with your
second-rate services. I have spent thousands registering names with 1and1
over the last year, and have come to regret my entire experience with "YOU".
I registered with 1and1 to begin with, because your rates were slightly
lower than your competitors. That slightly lower rate has cost me more than
the measly dollar that I saved per name when registering with 1and1 last
year. Follow these 6 rules if you ever plan on staying in business.

1. Your company does not offer free pushes from account to account.
2. Your customer service is as bad as Dell's.
3. When someone transfers names from one registrar to another, they
shouldn't expect to pay renewals for names already transferred out of their
account.
4. Instead of spending thousands of dollars posting your center-fold
advertisements inside computer magazines, you should spend that money on a
more user friendly business.
5. Take the advice from past 1and1 customers that dump millions into
GoDaddy, Enom, and Moniker, and learn from your mistakes.
6. Also take the advice of hundreds of domain forum users that buy and sell
domains daily and wonder why they don't have any business dealings with your
company.

I will be glad to pay your recent renewal fee, even though GoDaddy has the
names now. It's pocket change compared to what business you will lose when
hundreds ask me for your referral.

The $42 renewal fee you recently charged me after my names were transferred
will be talked about amongst my peers and co-workers as well. I'm just glad
I learned about your business flaws before I spent my next thousand dollars
with you.

Thank you for saving me another thousand dollars,
Jeremy :kickass:

As you can see..........I hate these guys with a passion.

Well done FantasyCombine

I went trough a lot of headaches dealing with them from the past I'm am glad I am now 1and1 free. I had experienced exact same way and before I got out they make sure they charged extra few bucks (around $50 I think) but small amount considering the stress they inflict with their customers.

Someone asked me once if I could put 1and1 in one word what would it be? I replied instantly:

NIGHTMARE

They billed an automatic renewal to an outdated credit card, which failed. The domain registration period was NOT extended. I transferred the domain but they billed again. Now I am getting letters from their collection agency.

It's like going into a store to buy something, having your credit card declined at checkout, putting the item back on the shelf, and then getting collection letters for the purchase.

1and1 is aimed towards newbies, the ignorant, and those who don't care what the price is as long as it works.

It's likely 1and1 is going nowhere anytime soon, since, from my understanding, much of their revenue is from highly profitable webhosting and other non-domain related services.

mhdoc- send a letter via signed return receipt postal mail to the collection agency explaining (keep it very short and to the point) the debt is not yours; in dispute.

If they still keep hassling you after that, mail off another letter reiterating it's not your debt / in dispute to them, plus your state attorneys general, and the FTC.

On a related note, if the debt is under $100, even if you did nothing, it's likely the collection agency will never report it to the credit bureaus anyways.

Please do not mislead people with false information like that. I've seen credit reports have collections report for $3 much less $xx or $xxx

Yeah dude, Im glad you sent the letter because I had bad experience with them too...

I was a newbie too who was gullible and did not know better; they are totally turd class with bad intentions manipulating their control panel.

You've lost my business 1and DONE because I too sent my domains to MyDaddy and been happy with their support.
