Since it turns out they haven't been able to bill me for several months due to their other fuckup, and my unused VPS is offline because I'm not paying for it because they fucked up their billing, I'm not really inclined to care about anything from them and they can delete my account.
However they won't let me delete my account unless I verify my identity.
@Dasabo this message is a formal GDPR notice that I want you to send me a copy of all information you have about me, then delete my account.
It is not. LET is not Dasabo. Email them your notice.
This is not a case for the police, they will do absolutely nothing, and this has absolutely nothing to do with organized crime.
You can complain to
https://commission.europa.eu/topics/consumers/consumer-rights-and-complaints/resolve-your-consumer-complaint_en
or your local consumer ombudsman, if you have one in your country.
There are a couple of criminal charges that do come in mind that you can report
The law does not demand a specific channel data subjects have to follow. It's a valid GDPR request and Dasabo should act on it properly.
@OpaqueRegistrant, since you properly tagged him, next time Dasabo logs in save it as evidence that he received your request, that's the start of one month period and you should get a proper reply.
It does actually but ok.
Right, the law just says they have to follow requests. It doesn't say what the request has to look like. I lied about the request being formal though, that was extremely informal.
The law does however say that they need to verify the identity of the requester, so unless you are willing to provide your full personal information here on the forum I do not think your request is valid.
Not necessarily, bear in mind that GDPR was drafted with 'less is more' in mind.
Great way to get rid of all cheap clients that doesnt spend much with them
It will be hard if people charge back their payments, stripe charge around £15 GBP per charge back
That's terrifying.
his rebuttals on the other forum are interesting, i'm not a customer so no idea what's actually real here. i put him on my shady list day one.
It's LET. Everyone is on the shady list, except for the people on the very shady list.
Not everyone is gonna do that and regardless probably worth it for them anyways cause they can free up resources they are selling dirt cheap and instead sell it to people who pay more (especially considering the situation with ram) rn
There is no list unless @yoursunny publishes it
If too many people do it stripe would consider it high risk, close the account. There are not many card providers that process card payments for hosting providers.
If you have a stripe balance they can also decide to hold that for a few months to cover any future chargebacks, depending on volume it can sink a company, even if someone paid them $1 and started a chargeback its that plus the fees which soon add up.
Additionally, they also raised the previous '12eu biennially' recurring prices to '60eu/biennially' for a 1c1g10g vps..

Its not. Just submit a ticket from your account or mail them from your email address associated with their account.
They might want to force you to identify yourself in order to follow up on your request which they should not be entitled to unless they have good reason for it, which they (most probably)have not.
That being said, once they decline and fail to deliver within legal period you can report them.
Question being... Who do you report? They company structure is kinda ... its there for a reason.
Then there's the authorities who can be kinda slow on this. Although they do follow through.
VeloxMedia declined to give me my data upon request, that case is still ongoing but making progress. Upside, it's taking ages and effort but finally get to know the cunt that runs that show.
Anyways... Regarding these cheap summerhosts, it's not worth the effort and time. Most can't be bothered and that's what they're betting on.
But you know, don't let this stop anyone if you feel up to it.
Its good sharing these experiences here though so people are warned. Any host enforcing KYC and denying Gdpr request like this one cannot be trusted with your PI.
They done anyway imho.
What you are offering sir. I was using their 1c1g10gb Xmas promo
Thank you.
They got the forum boss's sympathy and help over on the other Forum, lol.
You can't log in without doing KYC. They'll have to enable logging in without KYC so that people can send tickets.
If a provider wants to do KYC, it's their choice, as long as the customer is aware of it at
registration, or at least during the first payment, but doing it for existing customers and
holding their stuff as collateral is an absolute dick move. Good thing they got banned here
Good point. If KYC provider wants customer ID, it is only fair for KYC provider to share their own ID first!
Seriously though, I hope many people do chargeback. Not fair for them to change the terms like this.
I bought a 3-year subscription from them. I have 2 years left. It's a great gift. It's a good business. They take my money and don't provide the service.
We aim to do low cost on a monthly as much as possible, this protects everyone but happy to try and work with people as long as we cover costs on IP’s ect
