.uk domain has been registered by someone else

[xdnet]

For reference, this matter is being resolved by Nominet - was a bug which made it available when it shouldn't have been.

BTW, I don't think this was mentioned in the thread (I read most of it) but you get the verification email whether it is a fresh .uk reg (without having .uk rights) or if you own the .co.uk and do have rights

Are you sure on that one? I can't see why Nominet would send you an email if you don't have rights.

It was actually the company where the name was ordered that sent a confirmation email 'on behalf of Nominet' asking me to enter registrant details that are identical to the ones used to register the .co.uk.

The thing is, I don't own the .co.uk, no one does, it is free to register?

I now have the domain back.

That's good, I see they reverted the dates on the registration back too.

Did they say what the fault was?

Bit complicated, I originally tried to register it through Nominet on my own TAG, deleted that (within hours) and then registered it through TSO, but because the verification email from the Nominet application wasn't completed, that application was rejected and incorrectly made it available to reg.

I wonder what would have happened if you hadn't realised for another week, and the guy who registered it and then listed it on Domainlore had sold it for £100 ?

I would've been upset if it sold for £100

I wonder if Nominet have had to go through all registered .uk 2LD to check that where rights existed everything has happened as it should have done? For any unsuccessful .uk 2LD registration attempts Nominet may also have had to check that the rights had still been retained where they existed.

They said this was the only domain it has happened to, so maybe they did trawl through

Did a WHOIS and see you certainly do. Did Nominet give you further explanation and did you get asked to sign anything?

Caz: what was it you were talking about in your last post within this thead, exactly? Sh*te perhaps?

lol yes invincible, seemed pretty clear cut from the start.

Interesting to see how nominet sorted it though and said it was the only 1

The seller on domainlore must be gutted, maybe a good time to list the pair on DL?

Your experience has probably done Nominet a big favour if you ask me, imagine if this had gone unnoticed for some time by less savvy .co.uk registrants.

I don't think they'd sell for what I paid so I wont be doing that, I still have plans for them anyway to be honest.
