Go Daddy Hard to imagine how any company could provide worse customer service! Internet

Below is the actual interaction I have recently had with Go Daddy "customer service" over two domain names. I have replaced names, account number, and incident number with xxxx's.

This is completely unresponsive, to the problems Go Daddy has created for me.
First email from Go Daddy on this issue chain. I was asked to renew, I responded to that email that I decline to renew.

Second email from Go Daddy on this issue chain. You notified me my credit card information was out of date, I responded I was not renewing and asked that you purge my details from your records.

Third email from Go Daddy was a complicated series of steps I could take to delete my account. I responded to that email, no thanks, just let my domain names expire and I will mark further communications from Go Daddy as SPAM mail.

Fourth email from Go Daddy on this issue chain you notified me the two Domain Names (which I had specifically communicated to you were NOT to be renewed, and for which Go Daddy did NOT have my current credit details) HAD in fact BEEN RENEWED, WITHOUT my permission and WITHOUT my giving you my updated credit card information.

Fifth contact was with Go Daddy live customer service with the number and reference number provided in Go Daddys response to my online complaint. Crystal the live representative told me she could NOT look up my details using the reference number Go Daddy provided me use when calling live support!  Since she could NOT help me I asked to speak to a supervisor. After about a ten minute wait, I was connected to Go Daddy Representative Stacy. to complain and to get this travesty of customer service reversed. Now is this response, another complicated series of hoops Go Daddy expects me to jump through to reverse what should NEVER have happened if anyone at Go Daddy was actually responsive to my clear and repeated customer communications.

Customer Inquiry


My prior emails to you WERE prior to the renewal dates, Go-Daddy customer service is the worst!

I called the number and gave the reference number provided and I was told by GD customer service agent Crystal

"We cannot look up account information by reference (Incident ID) number." Why would you have such a broken system and call it customer service? Asked for a supervisor and I got you. For "my security" you wanted my last six digits of my credit card number and my PIN, this after "my security" had already being violated buy Go Daddy?! I provided my last four of the credit card, and you did nothing for me. How does it feel being useless at your job?
