Morning all,
In late December, Nominet informed me that my domain was due to expire as it hadn't been renewed by Plusnet. I called the servicedesk logged the details and was given a ticket reference.
Since then, despite several phone calls to chase progress, the renewal still hasn't been done. It is now over 4 weeks since my initial call and Nominet have just emailed to tell me that the domain expires on Monday.
My call to the desk this morning was frustrating to say the least. Although the agent agreed it was now an urgent issue, "the back office team aren't in until Monday".
Can I assume that if it's not fixed by Monday evening, all emails into my domain will cease?
I used to tell friends and family how great Plusnet were. A combination of how this issues has been handled, the email outage late last year and their lack of FTTP (which I already have through BT) leads me to believe that they are nowhere near as good as they once were.

Thanks a lot for getting in touch @Bauhaus100
Please accept our apologies, as it appears as though the two tasks we've raised to our NetOps Team to get this sorted were raised incorrectly, and were therefore rejected. I've re-raised them now, and will let you know once I hear back from them, it should take around 3 working days.

Thanks for the reply Adam but that's now the third time I've been given that excuse. There's clearly a systemic issue with your ticketing application as, from reading other posts on the same topic, I'm not the only customer to whom this has happened.
My domain registration runs out at midnight tomorrow which, according to Nominet (see below) means that email addresses using the domain will not longer work. I have been trying for around a month to sort this out yet here we are with a day to go and we're no further forward.
How can I have confidence that Plusnet will resolve this before midnight tomorrow and that I won't be faced with exactly the same problem in 12 month's time?
Your domain name (website address): xxxxxxxx.org.uk has expired and will be suspended in the next 7 days unless it is renewed. If your domain name is suspended, any associated services including websites and related email addresses will no longer work.

I understand your concerns @Bauhaus100 and can empathise with you and your lack of confidence in us being able to sort this out efficiently in the future. It's not so much an issue with our ticketing system, it's agent error. Agent's are required to follow very specific instructions when raising tasks with our NetOps Team, the slightest mistake, and the entire task is rejected.
This occurred on your account, the initial task was rejected because the incorrect vISP was used, and the second was rejected as the required NOMINET WHOIS info was not added to the task.
If there are any issues with the task that I've raised today, I'll follow up and will replace it as soon as possible. I can't guarantee a date in which this will be resolved, as tasks with our NetOps Team carry a lead time of 72 working hours.

All sorted @Bauhaus100
Your domain has been renewed, with a new expiry date of 31/12/2022. This has also been reflected on Nominet WHOIS.

Thanks very much Adam.
I've given it a couple of days and it looks as though we haven't lost any service. A lucky escape!

@mattclarke202 you do now!. You have to have made at least one post before you can DM.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.
