Domain Name Expired

Hi there.

I'm trying to renew a domain name, but I didn't have enough cash/credits back when the domain name was expiring, but I do now. And as it is, its expired, but I'm not able to renew it even though I've bought more credits now. Can anyone help me out with this issue, or am I stuck not being able to get the domain name back?

How long ago did it expire?

Quite a while ago, actually. I got an email that said it'd expire on 2015-12-31. I didnt have the credits at time, nor really the need to renew it either at the time, so I didnt think much of letting it expire. Had no idea it'd lead to these issues =/

So almost a year?

Almost a year, yep. Should add though that if I try to go to the domain itself, it doesn't show anything to make it seem as though its being used.

Do you think there's a way to fix it, even though its been such a long time? Or am I stuck not being able to use it again?

Sorry, but we have no control over the availability of domain names.

Sorry but the domain name is used by someone else that's why you can't get it again. You will have to get a new name and make sure you update it within 24 Days of the date it ran out as we only save the data for a set time then go daddy takes it back and sells it again.
