I’ve been running into this:

–

* the original web hosting provider had registered the domain but not paid for it

* the registrar was not prepared to transfer it until it was paid for

* the client was getting e-mails from the registrar about the transfer requests and was starting to e-mail the registrar directly (not understanding any of the technical considerations, and getting very confused by the replies from the registrar)

since 1996.
