My domain "charlestonalumnaedst.org" was stolen from me.

The long and short is that I tried to transfer it on Oct 1, whereas it was to expire on Oct 3.

The current registrar refused to give me the authority to transfer it. Then they expired it on Oct. 7.

I have tried to contact the company repeatedly and by all methods, but I cannot get a response from them. (www.onedollarhosting.com)

Can anyone help me with some info on this? I called icann.org, but they can't help.

First of all, refer to the Terms and Conditions of the registrar. If they have a clause that the domain name cannot be transfered x days prior to the expiry date, then you can't pursue the matter.

If they don't have such a clause, I would suggest you follow the ICANN Dispute Resolutions Policy located at http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp-rules-24oct99.htm.
