GoDaddy Transfers

Ran into a hiccup with a GoDaddy domain transfer today. GoDaddy said the domain was available for transfer and took money, and issued authorization codes for the transfer...only to have the transfer rejected. The reason being that a phone number in the domain record changed a week ago, so ICANN policy, according to GoDaddy, is to reject transfers for SIXTY DAYS with no ability to resolve the problem earlier. I'm not so sure I believe GoDaddy, but that's what happened.

More importantly, I sent an e-mail to GoDaddy's legal asking for a reimbursement of roughly $12 in costs associated with this transaction (or the equivalent in credits to be used at GoDaddy). Let's see what happens. It was quite irritating I have to say, so I do have a full mind to go to small claims if GoDaddy doesn't want to own up to their role in this matter !!!
