Posting this for a friend. He had a old lawn care company that went out of business a couple years back and he just never did anything with the domain name. I guess he kept up with the billing etc on the site, but never went to it. Come to find out this week the site is now registered with someone else. We contacted the company and they had purchased the site from another company about 6 months ago for a pretty nominal amount. From reading on here, we guess that someone had the PW reset and transfered the name, and then sold the site. We don't know how long it's been gone. Couldn't get ahold of the company/person that sold it yet.
The new company TM'd the domain name and didn't have any interest in just giving it back. Friend did check and the site registration never expired, so they couldn't have gotten it that way.
Is there a limited amount of time in which to dispute the transfer? Is there anything we can do to get the domain back? etc. any info would be appreciated. I guess he should also contact Network solutions and see what info they can give.
Pretty confusing I guess.
It's not a pressing situation as he never really intended on using the site again, but just the same it was his site and he'd like to have it back. I don't want to post the names etc as to not stir the pot.
Thanks All
