Thread: 1and1 Hosting, scam you when you try to cancel

So the scam continues.

I got TWO letters in the mail today from a debt collection agency, for the very bill that I payed months ago. I called my attorney, we called up 1and1 billing, low and behold they MADE YET ANOTHER BILLING ERROR (this is error #4 for 1and1's billing department alone, if you are counting), they updated my billing information, but never billed me.


It was only after we talked to the 'supervisor' and notified him that I would be filling a lawsuit against 1and1 for defamation of character (among other things), did they finally admit they had made yet ANOTHER 'ERROR', and claimed they'd "reverse the request from the debt collection agency". Yah right, well see.


Punks, and yes, i called the debt collection agency, notified them of the situation, so they placed a dispute on the claim, should 1and1 fail yet again to put this matter to rest.



Holy fuck, bunch of scam artists with no shame about it.

Consumer Complaints for 1 And 1 Internet, Inc. - BBB serving Metro Washington, DC and Eastern Pennsylvania

826 complaints closed with BBB in last 3 years | 413 closed in last 12 months

413 in the last 12 months = over 1 complaint per day.

I am glad I dumped them 3 or 4 years ago.

Poor Bunni. At least I know never to use them now.

And still a B rating from the Better Business Bureau! I wonder what it takes to get a bad grade?

I prefer ResellerRatings to evaluate any online business: 1 & 1 Internet - 1and1.com - Reviews, Ratings and Prices at ResellerRatings

Bunni, there's another place for you to vent!

Bunni, that sucks but thanks for the heads up.

It is easy to clear your credit. Do it through the free credit report at annual credit report. com <--- Truly is free.

You can disputed anything and everything on your reports (All 3) just by clicking on the dispute button for each item and then type a brief explanation as to why it is incorrect. The company that reported it then has 30 days to respond, if they don't it comes off. If they do and you have all the proof then the credit reporting agency will review it and make a decision about the matter.

I cleaned my reports before I bought my house.

WOW! Here we go again! Over a year later, these losers email me claiming i suddenly have existing, outstanding debts.
