I must have left them like 2 years ago.. and this is an email I just received from them.... was checking an old email account...

It seems to be all too common for web masters to abandon a web hosting account when they are tired of using to our don't need or want it for some reason or can't pay for it. As a web hosting company this presents a special problem for us. When a customer's credit card declines we need to attempt to notify the customer that there is a problem and most of them will update their information. The ones that do not are shut off for non-payment but not before we have spend a great deal of time trying to resolve the problem and providing services without being paid.

Our losses for this type of situation amounted to more that $100,000 in 2003 so just forgetting about those customers that choose to abandon their accounts does not seem to be a valid option.

You are receiving this email because our records indicate that you abandoned your web hosting account with us. There are currently fees due for services that were provided and a $45.00 non-payment termination fee. We are willing to settle your account for $20.00 if you contact us by 6/11/2004.

If you choose not to resolve this matter we are going to sell all of these accounts to a debt collector. They will then report your debt to all the credit reporting agencies and end up costing you a lot of money the next time you need a car, home loan, credit card etc.

Please don't think that if you are outside the United States are are safe from collection action, these guys will hire debt collectors in your area to attempt to collect on your debt.

Please get in touch with us as soon as possible to resolve this issue, we are are more than happy to resolve any problems you may have and resolve this matter.
