1 and 1 Internet : 1 and 1 Internet Reviews : The worst domain registrar ever...

Prebilled for a domain a month ahead of renewal time, when I told them I was going to transfer and to reverse the charge I was told it was not possible. They refused to allow my domain to be transferred and now say I owe them for the domain and also a $19 late fee because I disputed the domain charge with my bank. They will not unlock my account so I can transfer this domain or any of my other domains until I pay for the year of the domain I don't want with them along with the $19 late fee. I've spoke with several supervisors and they have even informed me they have sent me to collections. This seems like it has to be illegal. I'll likely end up paying the $25.00 just to get my account unlocked and get out of this bad bad nightmare. I was with directnic and godaddy before this and have never, ever had this sort of experience.

In most cases the company is listed as:

Eventually these agencies which are geared towards consumer protection will recognize a trend and take appropriate action.
