<prompt> Human: This sounds dodgy from the start but is true...A friend of mine and I had an idea for a website business that we could start together, for lots of different reasons it never took off but we did get a website up and running.Because i was financing our little venture the domain was bought on my card but my friend bought it on his account. Or so i thought...It turns out he registered the domain under a fake name, Keith Barrett neither one of us are called Keith or have a surname Barrett and registered the domain using my card and to my address.1 and 1 the domain company have a policy where you cant just let a domain name expire, you have to inform them you want to cancel otherwise they just assume you want to keep it and charge your card again. My card details had expired by this point so no charge could be made.Then the letters came... The first letter for Mr. Keith Barrett got thrown away, it didnt register with me what it was about. The next letter got me curious so i opened it, obviously it was 1 and 1 wanting their money.After speaking with my friend about the whole thing he told me he does it all the time and that i shouldnt worry because the contract is in the name of Keith Barrett and that theyll pester me for a while and then just give up.Is this right? at the moment its such a small amount of money i dont mind paying up even though i dont want need the domain names any more. Or should i just leave it? technically their contract is with a Mr. Keith Barrett and he doesnt even exist.Names changed because im paranoid.Update Thanks to all the below advice, because it was such a small amount of money i decided that the easiest thing to do was to pay up and just learn a lesson from it... Well at least thats how i imagined it would go. When i spoke to Arvato and tried to explain the situation they wouldnt couldnt proceed any further because i failed the security check home address was fine but i have no idea what the email address on the account is so he couldnt talk to me about the account.Im going to call back after work and just ask to pay the amount based on the account number and not try and explain the situation, i just found the above very amusing.  <response>: Ignore it. If they claim the amount, say you had never authorized the charge. The difference in the card owner and the registered name will be the proof.
