  • @flamesrunner:
    Sure. I will prepare some tickets for you. at the best prices.
    @tehdan: online.net have the best services so far. This post has nothing to do with their services which are top notch. If you continue with them or whatever it is your own business.

    legitimate question, what about licenses? ie: windows license would that have to be canelled before the 20th or is that just servers? didn't see anything about it on their tos.

    You will find out when you will cancel ... :)

    Subject implied interesting content. Post did not deliver.

    Kindly refund my time or this is a scam.

  • @HWAYS - I see what you did there - demonstrate you can't use Vanilla's quote function correctly and cite this as evidence of not being competent to accept online.net's TOS. You have a keener legal mind than I gave you credit for...

  • Popular tactic....revert to child-mode and/or denial, and it simply isn't true. Good luck :)

  • You agreed to something you didn't read and you think of it as injustice when the company does what they say they will in their TOS.

    People like you continue to show me how a companies like Geek Squad are still in business even tho they are a complete rip off.

    Nice try but it's after the 20th of the month.

    and smth more: hey teachers in the TOS facts, how many did you read **all **TOS agreements of all the hosting companies you subscribed to?

    Honestly, not the over here continue bullshit:"You should read the TOS.. We always print the TOS and read it line by line..."
    **
    Usually you expect honest provisions isnt'it ? At least to pay for what you used, isnt it?**

    BTW, it is written in their bible: "Unless expressly requested by the User" ... I did it, I epxressly terminated the contract before any other invoice generation.
    What the hack means "Unless expressly requested by the User" ? If it isnt explained this is the beginning of many ...

    Cut the crap.

    Stop whining and take accountability for your own fucking (in)actions and stupidity.

    Honestly, we were just trying to help out as you seemed rather desperate. Beyond that, I highly doubt anyone really cares enough to argue and drag this any further.

    It's all threats in my opinion. I hate companies that enforce this "you can't cancel after X date". Cancel when you want. You've paid a month ahead of the service. If you want to cancel, cancel.

    If you don't live in France, ignore whatever they're saying and never log back into Online.net. Call your bank/credit card provider and strictly instruct to not process any charges from ONLINE.NET or anything they charge under.

    It all really depends where he is, if EU and issuer dependant the bank/issuer are largely unlikely to act unless he claims fraud, which I suspect he would do.

    HostingSpecialists said: strictly instruct to not process any charges from ONLINE.NET

    They wont do this even if you cancel the card they will still honour payments from it until you cancel that service agreement or call fraud/dispute.

    Probably would have to be hundreds of euros for them to bother.

    They said some stuff about bailiff collecting some 8 euro or something from me, also. I told them to go ahead and invoice me, but they never did.

    Their billing system was buggered & wouldn't allow me to change my credit card info, kept giving an error. When I tried to make a payment it auto-rejected it, they said my bank "denied payment", my bank claimed that no charge was even attempted.

    So I offered to pay via post, bank wire transfer, 'have a chap drop by your office there with some cash', and finally Paypal (which was actually listed as a valid payment method on their Terms of Service -- unsure if it still is). alas, none of those payment methods were acceptable. So I lost my kidechires. If they were located in same state as me in US, it would probably be something I'd take to small claims, w/ all the logs and recordings to show that 1) my bank never was charged, and 2) it stated that paypal was a means of payment in their ToS & they refused to allow me to pay via Paypal. i bet i could have claimed a whole $50 or so in damages

    Thanked by 1HWAYS
  • Lets put this simply.

    The ToS is stupid, just like you for not reading it.

    Thanked by 1HWAYS
  • I don't see the fuss here?
    He signs up for a service, agrees to give cancellation notice by x date per month, then gives notice after that and then expects the provider to refund the difference?
    Try that with your ISP, Carrier, Electricity, Gas, etc... and they will just laugh at you.

  • Simply ignore their demand if you can.
    This provider should be more reasonable in you case.
    IMHO.

  • Thank you. I already discussed with them.
    They were very flexible ... Let's say.

    2) respect the terms that you agreed to

    Majority times people can't be bothered to read. Don't forget that international companies can easy find local debt collection agency in your country and they don't give a fuck about if it's $30 or $330k as you will be paying all the fees (like: collection agency, interest)

    TarZZ92 said: Dont worry about any "collecting agency/debt collector" they are powerless.

    Don't think so, try to play with 1&1 and you will see result.

    Thanked by 1Clouvider
  • I sense this thread is minutes away from every post by the OP being redacted to 'It was just a misunderstanding'...

    Thanked by 2Clouvider netomx
  • Not really. I think most people who have their own businesses see it from the provider's PoV, and those with a consumer PoV often say get away with what you can.

    Their term about cancellation notice seems entirely fair.

    That's a matter of fact debt collectors are powerless. a debt collector is not a bailiff. and quite frankly only an idiot would signup with 1&1

    Again depends on where you are, I send out collection agencies for £50 and over, the collection agencies are not powerless. 2 letters and a visit and you owe £150 have a bad debt registered against you at Experian and Equifax and then you end up in the small claims court. Debt is now £350.

    I don't care about that, eventually I will get my £50 and that is all I care about, fuck you as much as you want to fuck me over £50.

  • If I were you, I would pay that invoice and cancel it again. Anyway you were late 1 day for the cancellation, right? The provider also lost 1 day of chance for the server to be rented to a new user because of your belated cancellation, is it fair?

    Most will simply "pay up" but no one can be forced

    Of course they can, you live in a bubble if you think that.

    Uh, oh, we're in trouble, something's come along
    And it's burst our bubble, yeah, yeah

    I love the TV series "Can't pay, we'll take it away" as it shows how deluded people can be.

    I have a mate who runs a company selling candles, so even the big orders are only in the £50-£100 range; he sends collections after everyone, it only fails if the buyer can't be found.

    Perhaps you should take a look at CAG and such

    No need and a very lame retort to use CAG which is more like a jumped up unofficial union that achieves little. Sure if you have a genuine reason to feel aggrieved then go and get advice on what to do. But if you are simply looking for an excuse to avoid paying a debt that you owe then don't go looking for excuses and sympathy.

    I look at all the people I have sent to debt collectors and get the money from each year. That is all I need.
