Question about a website being held hostage!
Hi everyone,
I found your site on line and hope that you can help.
Our organization hired new person to update text (a list of Chamber members) on an existing web page. The name of her company is ByStephanie.com . She charged us almost five hours of time to "fix" our page, which we did not authorize, her to do, she was just supposed to add names to an exsiting list. ByStephanie.com pulled our website down for non-payment, but the invoice was never sent to the Chamber, it was sent to one of or members through an email. When the chamber finally saw the invoice we found out how much time ByStephanie.com charged. We disputed it, but ByStephanie.com is holding our site hostage until we pay in full. We are paying the bill to release the website, but have spoken to two web designers that felt that ByStephanie.com took advantage of the Chamber and that ByStephanie.com charges were excessive.
Is there anywhere to report her actions? Does anyone know if what she did was even legal? Is there anywhere to add her name to on the web so if someone looks up ByStephanie.com a complaint will pop up in the results?
Thanks everyone!
