Hi,

Parents have just had a threatening letter for unpaid costs on domain hosting that they know nothing about and neither do I.

The domain was registered in my name but to my parents address, somewhere I have not lived for quite a few years, I have had a look at the domain on whois and it all checks out in my name etc but there is no site attached to it,

Could they just set up loads of email accounts for spamming purposes?

fking pissed off with one.com they are next to useless.

If it's a uk domain, contact Nominet. Nominet are quite proactive in this sort of rubbish.

Was the letter from one.com or another company working on their behalf?

I only ask as I may have info that will help you resolve the issue.

I'm aware of a 3rd party that's chasing payments on behalf of one.com, but as you've received it directly from one.com then I'm afraid the info I have isn't valid in this case - sorry.
