There was a long story to that domain that we already owned for 4 years at that point. We needed to change some of the who is info (from one of our email accounts on another domain that to domain we tried to renew) and billing information from an employees PO box to our company address (also listed on the site). No on the changes held and kept on reverting back and Godaddy could not tell us why. They claimed no one was changing it back.
Desperate to make sure the domain would not expire and calling / and emailing them they said unless payment was accepted by them it would drop. We offered money wires, bank checks any credit card they wanted or payment method and not to even change the whois at this point...just don't let the name expire.
They wouldn't take anything and when expired offered the name to us. after exerting legal pressure at a significant cost (site never went down) they changed everything, accepted payment and we transferred that and 20 plus other domains to moniker.
Whee I would have pounded Godaddy and sue them for costs and looked into it as a criminal mater, the owner of the company was happy to get the name and felt the expense was worth paying out of pocket. He never freaked out and was sure that "god would take care of me".
