I told my client to refer them back to the agency however this is now disrupting his business by getting regular emails and phone calls plus this could be a major security/privacy issue to those who domains are affected. Even the agency's domain details are in our clients name.

This really should go straight to the registrar.

Things with TPP Wholesale are a bit conplicated at the moment due to the 
sale.

Just contact Arq Group senior management they should be able to sort this.

You should have the CTO or one of the senior staff on speed dial by now.

Dumped them years ago as soon as they purchased AussieHQ.

Things went down hill really quick.

That said  Arq do well in the enterprise space.

I don't blame them for wanting to get out of wholesale its not really a 
great market unless you are dedicated to it and have a lot of value 
added products.

Regards Chad.
