A Lesson to be Learned...

 I shoulda known better, but I didn't.  Someone may get the best of me,  but they're not going to do it and me be quiet.  As they say,  I'll shout if from the rooftops.... LOL 


Okay,  I'll admit it.  When I decided to buy my very first domain name someone recommended  Network Solutions.  This is where the mistake happened.  My mistake.  Did I want to pay manually, OR .... AUTOMATICALLY?   Guess which square I checked.... 


Long story... shorter version,  they were charging me more than twice what I could get a domain name for anywhere else.  So last year,  I called Network Solutions,  said I wanted to move my domain name.  She asked why,  I said the price was too high.  She instantly gave me a reasonable
price.  So I left my domain with them.


This year,  the price was high again.  So I called,  I was moving the DN for sure.  They said they were sorry to see me go.  So they charged my account for $37.99 after they released my domain name to Go Daddy.  


Then I start getting emails about building my new website with Network Solutions. Like I had PAID for a website. Very confusing. 


This morning I get an email stating "One of the first ways we can demonstrate our commitment to this goal is to quickly and efficiently handle your recent request.
We apologize, but in accordance with our Service Agreement, it is our policy not to issue refunds for domain name registration(s) or other Network Solutions services. Once payment is made for a service it cannot be changed or reversed. However, once the registration period is over you may choose not to renew the service.

What does that mean?  Does that mean they're going to keep my money?  Oh,  I think not.  That's not nice.  I want my money,  I need my money.  

So,  remember this.  PJ   NEVER    EVER    recommends Network Solutions for any online domain name, website, or anything else online,  or to walk your dog.   

Have you had a similar problem?  Do you know who I report them to?  PLease share this with any newbie that's going to do a blog or website.  Let them learn from my mistake.  No automatic payment ever!  

This is not a time that I can afford this lesson.  I actually thought they had made a mistake, would put the money back into my account by the weeks end.  I've gotten refunds that way before.  But I wasn't dealing with Network Solutions.  Sad,  very sad.  

It's raining!  Yea!  We need some more rain.  thanks again.  xo

Thank yall for listening to my wailing.  xoxxxxx
