  I purchased website products on Namecheap website in November 2020. The Domain name Spiritbodymind.online expired November 2nd. They charged an old Discover credit card twice in the amounts of $14.88 on November 1st and $14.76 on November 10th as supposed automatic renewals. Discover stated since I had purchased from them before, they allowed the new purchase. I don't know what Namecheap submitted to Discover. They suggested that I contact Better Business Bureau. I never signed up for automatic renewals even though it was namecheap's recommendation to do so (attachment namecheappanel.jpg). I received 4 emails on November 2nd stating that this same product was expiring on 4 different days and hours. On November 5th, I received an email showing the domain expired November 2nd. I previously chatted online with an employee requesting cancellation of Privacy Email which had just renewed. She cancelled with no problem. However; I later received an email from Namecheap stating that she should not have cancelled and they reinstated the product. I have not been able to access my Namecheap account and have never used any of the products since purchased. I had the 2 step verification enabled, but never received any codes to login even before my phone number changed. I do not wish to renew any products after they expire and do no want any contact from Namecheap.

  I have hd problems with their customer support now for over a year not listening. Now i am receiving emails asking me for my email username details and pin and when i supply it i just get the same reply back sending me in circles. It is my belief that an employee there is having some twisted fun at my expense and it needs to be looked into by the superiors there. I have email evidence that they are simply not listening when corresponding with [email protected] I have spent hundreds and hundreds of pounds on domain names with them over the years but now its time to take legal action for reparation. For month si was locked out of my account because the reset email wasnt getting through to me and when i told them they just did the loop thing again. I have all this evidence too. Sincerely *******************

  I have been trying to cancel my Namecheap subscription since June (currently October). I haven't used their service in over a year. I have been passed from department to department and have been ignored while being repeatedly billed. When I stopped payment, Namecheaps risk management team reached out with a threatening email about my delinquency. Every agent that reaches out is another layer of subterfuge, not resolving my problem and kicking the can down another billing cycle.

  My debit card was charged $30.00 (3) times by namecheap.com. The dates are 8/1/22, 8/31/22, & 10/3/22. We never heard of this company and never authorized these. I contacted them and was told to file a ticket, which I did on 10/7/22, for Unauthorized charge. Ticket ID: *************. They replied "The charge inquestion stands for automatic renewal of ****** Workspace subscription for the domain name q-railing.com. We did purchase items for q-railing six times (none on the dates of the charges). I contacted q-railing and they have no idea what this is. They did not charge us and do not use namecheap.com for their domain. I want a refund and to shut this company down! There are numerous complaints here on the BBB!

  Recently my husband and I inherited a business due to the previous owner passing (it was a very weird situation). The business is associated with a website produced by Namecheap. I have reached out to Namecheap with proof of ownership, and supplied them with all the information I had regarding the previous account holder in efforts to get them to shut down the website as we are changing domain companies and since the previous owner passed away, we do not have his login information or access to his Namecheap account. They site this as the reason for not shutting down the website. This is hurting our business as the information on the website they carry is incorrect and offering services that we do not provide. I have sent multiple emails to them to try and resolve this issue and they continue to drag out the situation. This is inappropriate business practice and should not be allowed. I have provided them with proof of the transfer of ownership and they will not comply. Other companies should be aware of how they practice and that they are unwilling to work with people in our situation. I have attached proof of ownership of the company.

  An account was made for me on behalf of a different website I was a member of that I did not apply for. Namecheap sent an email saying I would be charged for the yearly auto renewal to me (this was when I was made aware of this account) on September 15, 2022. I tried to cancel the auto renewal to my credit card but their automated service to cancel auto renewal has been down every time I try. I get a Server 500 error every single time. I contacted their customer service department on Sept 15 and they said they cancelled the auto renewal. On Sept 30 I received another email saying the auto renewal was active, so I emailed them again and they are refusing to acknowledge my request to cancel the auto renewal. They kept telling me it was closed, and keep asking me "please let us know whether you mean that you did not want auto-renew." I do not trust that they have done this because I keep receiving automated emails saying otherwise. I keep responding to them I do not want the service. I never set up this service. I do not want auto renewal. I do not want an account with them. They keep responding back with the same question "please let us know whether you mean that you did not want auto-renew."I informed them that if they charged me unlawfully I would be requesting a chargeback from my credit card and contacting the fraud department.

  Namecheap is a company that is enabling scammers to defraud people by registering domain names to people with no verification. There are complaints all over the internet. I was defrauded by a website registered by them that is totally fake. The represented themselves as a valid company and I was defrauded out of $499.00.
