Why are some .CO.UK domains not suspended?

[FCP]

Why are some domains suspended when others show the "Renewal required" message until they drop?

Thanks didnt spot them names

did you not read the post above yours?

 

[FCP]

aZooZa, did you get a response from Nominet?

aZooZa, did you get a response from Nominet?

Indeed I did. My question has been elevated to higher management. I will post a summary back here when I get a reply. I can't quote from Nominet emails on here - that's not good form I think given their email disclaimer/legalese footer.

Glad you are on the case. I honestly think Bob Gilbert should be brought in on this so do you think you could see to it that this matter is at the top of the pile on his desk tomorrow morning? It might also be best practice to alert both the Registrar and Registrant to the matter as clearly they must have no idea what is going on either.

So what's your reason for doing it then? - does it give you any advantage with longer renewal dates etc or is it just a "fun" excerise for you?

It doesn't bother me in the slightest; just curious.

Nice response David, could have been shortened to "little things" though.

Note the difference between "your" and "you are/you're".

LOL about time someone pointed it out

Sometimes I consider it useful to be verbose, especially as I know my responses won't be read solely by the person I am immediately replying too.

Typographical errors happen to the best of us it seems.

Read from the bottom:

Nominet to me in reply:

The domain names in question have been through our renewal process, which
has extended their suspension dates.

A registrar can only submit one renewal request per domain name, however
if the renewal request is not received before the expiry date then a
pro-forma invoice will be sent directly to the registrant. If a positive
renewal request is received after the pro-forma in invoiced then this
invoice will be cancelled, and we will invoice the registrar. If however
the renewal terms expire then we would again invoice the registrant. If
the second pro-forma invoice is not paid then the domain name will be
suspended, and if no payment is received then cancelled.

It is not possible for the registrar to send a second renewal request to
extend their payment terms. The original invoice we sent to them must be
paid.

We do not have any special credit privileges with any of our registrars,
the suspension date can sometimes be extended as explained above.

I hope this answers your query, however if you need any further
information please let me know.

-----------------
Me to Nominet is response to a suggestion that I pay an invoice after querying the status of the domains listed in the OP:

Hi xxxx,

These are not my domains. I was enquiring as to why they were not
suspended. According to my calculations they should be in the drop pool
within the next seven days. As an example, shouldn't proxy.co.uk be
released on 24th September? Does the current registrar have some special
credit privileges or grace periods which are not afforded to the general
community? The list of domains I have quoted below are all tagged to the
same registrar.

Attempting to renew both awh.co.uk and cargo.co.uk a second time, within seperate emails, returns "V174 Domain name has been renewed, but not yet paid for." for both.

So are you the guy behind TAG THORNTON or the entity of Name Account? If the first, did you warn the registrant for renewing those names? If again you are the first from the sentence "V174 Domain name has been renewed, but not yet paid for." the registrant did not renew the names but you did renew them by your knowledge?
