Stolen Servers?
What do I do if a colocation/dedicated server company refuses to send me back my servers? Well, more like avoiding than refusing... but its been about 5 months or so and I would like to get my servers back.

Not yet, the servers are only $3000 each. I dont want to end up paying that much for a lawyer and just waste time.

I can't get in there, no ID card. It's in Nj Equinix. They only let the business owners in. not clients.

ouch! it's so bad!
I think to sue them is the only way to do! Do you have any contract/agreements with this company?Tommy Tran - tommy @ vinax.net ::: VINAX, LLC ::: http://vinax.net ::: Since 2004

It was a month-month contact for colocation. i dont wanna have to go through witht he hassle to sue them, it takes too long... can i report this to the BBB or something in that nature? i will seek legal aid if necessary, it just seems like a big step.

What I would do is signed a Pre Paid Legal Service, you pay about $30 a month and they can give you some advice plus send a letter to your provider.
That should show the provider that you are serious and take action, if not then the attorneys will give you the options and choose the better one.
My guess is that they will repond to you with the first letter.

I find it odd that they would just "ignore" your requests. What is the last contact you had with them?

So you requested your servers 5 months ago and last month they shipped you 4 of 6 and now they won't reply to your calls or emails?

I agree with servers4me, find a good lawyer. Even if it will cost you more than the servers in the beginning, you can slap them with a nasty law suite to make up your lawyers bills.
Of course you should only take legal action after you have tried every other means of working with them. Make sure that you are 100% in the right (no bills outstanding, no special ToS clause you forgot to follow, etc) before taking legal action.

Why don't you just take them to small claims court? All you would have to do is provide the judge with proof of what servers you put in there, and if the company can't prove that they were returned, then they will have to pay damages. You don't need a lawyer to do this. If it fails, then get a lawyer and try again.

I'm pretty sure you would be able to hire a lawyer and sue for the cost of the servers as well as any lost wages and court costs you incurr.

I will be shocked if they don't smarten up and send you your servers in a rush. Nothing about them suggests that they are a fly by night operation. I don't know why they would but I will bet that it all gets worked out now.

The DC didnt steal my server. The DC is Equinix, Nj and HudsonDigital was the company I went to for colocation. I paid all the bills, and havnt broken any agreements.
