Did your domain expire because you didn’t have an up to date credit card on the account for renewal? That’s kind of what it sounds like. If so, that’s your own fault.

The post clearly says both a credit card and an alternate Paypal account were on their file and they even accepted the Paypal account to pay the fine.

Some people can't wait to victim blame every time these posts of obvious business stupidity come up.

How is this obvious business stupidity?

Domains go into a redemption period because they expire. Having a card or paypal on file is meaningless if you don't have auto-renew.

People lie. People lie all the time, and always spin the story to somehow make them the blameless victim.

This happens so often it's not even funny - the lack of "what the domain is" in the post makes me suspicious that if you did a whois history you'd find that it expired some time ago and finally went down.
