So far, that sounds like nice basis for a class action lawsuit.
Imagine a land title company throwing away records just because they
lost a payment receipt. That's what InterNIC is doing.
My experience with InterNIC was that i managed to get hold of
actual person, and got assurances that everything's ok. Then
i see nothing happened in the database, so i call again, and they
tell the information "is not there yet". Now, i go to the automatic
system and make a card payment -- the system gives back authorization
code, etc. Guess what. It still says the domain registration is not paid.
I think it is time ISPs take the matter in their hands. I.e. let ISPs
to perform registrations. Root serer operators can ensure uniqueness
just fine.
