Complaint Review: IPage - Nationwide

BE AWARE OF IPAGE WEB HOSTING MANIPULATING AND UNETHICAL PRACTICE THAT MAY COST YOU MONEY AND A LOT OF TIME:

I have received my last email on Wed 10/14/2015 10:42 AM despite usually getting several emails daily. Due to my busy schedule, I was not using my laptop since early Wednesday morning, so did not notice anything wrong. However when I opened my Outlook 2.13 email client last night 10/17 both email passwords for did not work. When I tried to log in in my IPage hosting account that did not work either. When I've called IPage tech support, I found out my hosting account was deactivated / deleted without clear explanation nor proper notification. In fact I was receiving generic messages about my billing dues, but nothing specific like hosting services about to expire or notification about renewal.

I was sure that that the hosting service was paid for three years and no other dues were due so doid not pay any attention to those notifications.

Not knowing any of that, when I called to see why my email suddenly stopped working, I was asked to provide last four digits of billed credit card two years ago and no other ownership verification was acceptable. I page never asked for this kind of verification in past two years, never disclosed importance of saving the billing credit card years ago, because of changing the cards information (last for digits) nor provided those numbers with order/payment confirmation for my record.

All my efforts to explain to tech support that is impossible to remember last four digits of my billed credit did not work because when IPage delet hosting account the four digits af billing credit card is the only verification acceptable. The only other way to verymy account, I was told after several phone cals is to send email with a copy of my driver's license to [email protected]. But there is no response from them either

THIS KIND OF BUSINESS PRACTICE IS VERY INCENCERE, UNETHICAL AND VERY LIKELLY DECEIVING FOR PUBLIC WHO RENDER THE SERVICES FROM IPAGE.
