Qué rayos pasó con dan-alonso.org?

Hola. Tal vez muchos de ustedes se pregunten qué rayos pasó con mi dominio dan-alonso.org. Hace unos días expiró. Estaba con una compañía llamada iPowerWeb, que cobra más barato que yo. Aunque como todos sabemos, lo barato sale caro.

Yo intenté pagar mi dominio desde abril como puedo demostrar en el siguiente thread de soporte:

Your account will be automatically renewed the day before the expiration date with the credit card on file. So long as card is still active and current. If you feel this may be the case and card is no longer valid, please contact us ahead of expiration to prevent expiration. Please disregard any further renewal notices if card is good. If you have any doubts at all on renewals, please contact us so we can be sure that your service is not interrupted.

Please note that email address that we have for you on file, must be active & current.

Hello

I want to confirm the renewal date for the domain dan-alonso.org. The

different the ones you have and in that case how to change my billing info.

Thank you very much.

I don't think that it is fair the $20 reinstatement fee you ask me to pay.
I asked you to charge me at least 1 month in advance and you said
you'd charge 1 day before expiration. You didn't charge that day and i
wrote again to ask if you had any trouble or when you were gonna
charge me. You didn't answer that day.

I've started a transfer to another registrar. I spect not to have any
trouble doing so. I'll do the same with all my domains I've registered
with you so I don't have this trouble again.

Thank you very much.

Qué chistoso. Todavía que me hacen esperar hasta el último momento me cobran de más. Podrán decir, tal vez le cobraron y le rebotaron la tarjeta. Ya que ando sacando mis trapitos al sol, aquí está mi estado de cuenta:
Detalle de Movimientos 
FECHA CONCEPTO IMPORTE 
30-ABR PAYPAL *DIRECTI 402 935 7733 $266.64 M.N - 
16-MAY SU ABONO ... GRACIAS $0.69 M.N  
16-MAY SU ABONO ... GRACIAS $992.00 M.N  
18-MAY SU ABONO ... GRACIAS $600.01 M.N  
18-MAY SU ABONO ... GRACIAS $120.00 M.N  
19-MAY PAYPAL *VRTSERVERS 402 935 7733 $950.16 M.N - 
19-MAY SU ABONO ... GRACIAS $90.00 M.N  
20-MAY PAYPAL *DIRECTI 402 935 7733 $553.00 M.N - 
 


Como se puede ver, el día 18, un día antes de que expirara, tenía bastante dinero para un dominio más barato de lo que yo los vendo. También como se puede ver, no hay cargo. Por ahí me mencionaban que tal vez pudiera ser que por alguna extraña y paranormal razón el banco haya rebotado el pago, aún teniendo dinero. En ese caso debieron notificármelo, para poder pagar con otra tarjeta.

No me parece justo y no estoy dispuesto a pagar.
