  More info

  I had a month to month arrangement with 4Goodhosting for about five months. I paid through bank transfers, however this seemed to be a problem as they could not match the bank transfers with my account. I began paying quarterly so that I would have to call in less often to tell them to look for the bank transfers.On my second quarterly payment, they were unable to find the bank transfer email, and after escalating the problem to their management, the management's decision was to suspend the web hosting services.At that point I realized that I could not trust this company with a business related webpage, and cancelled the Interact payment.In a followup call with a member of their frontline staff, I communicated to that staff member that in contractual law, that the suspension of services amounted to a breach of contract, and that there was no further contractual arrangement between myself and their company. The staff member's response was that I must follow a cancellation procedure with the company's Client Account webpage. He also stated that he would escalate that conversation to management.The management's response was to reissue an invoice to me the next day.I continue to receive invoices from this company while I have not received services for the last four months.My request to the company is that they stop sending invoices to a closed account. I understand that it is technically challenging to coordinate a company's operations, but management should consider seriously that the continued invoicing of a closed account constitutes **********, and provides an already annoyed customer sufficient cause for legal action.I also caution this company that any action to prevent the migration of the licenced domains where the domain(s) are tied to business activities brings the possibility of further legal action. Please familiarize yourself with the case law concerning 'Interference with Economic Relations'.

  Unfortunately, ******************************* did not request to cancel his account,
  so it was suspended and subsequently terminated due to non-payment. We
  do not typically accept Interac payments unless the full year is paid in
  advance. I did call ***** and asked him to submit a request to cancel
  his account and outstanding invoice, but this has not been done yet.
  Therefore, we have taken it upon ourselves to cancel the invoice, so he
  does not receive any further overdue invoices.

  Hopefully this is enough to make things right for *****. Unfortunately without written conformation we don't normally cancel accounts or invoices.

  Thank you,
