URGENT! MSE URL nightmare

Posts: 8,272 Money Saving Expert
Just found out that our auto-renew of the domain name for the site (ie www.moneysavingexpert.com) failed and the URL lapsed last month.
It seems Wonga now own the URL. I have no clue what to do and the team aren't in yet - looks like it may be transferred sometime today.
Any help gratefully received.
Update 12pm 1 April
Thanksfully its just magically fixed itself!

Hi this organisation can give you advice and arbitrate
http://www.nic.uk/
in section
http://www.nic.uk/disputes/
Basically if you have trademarked "moneysavingexpert"
you may have grounds to dispute them registering the domain name on the grounds that it was malicious
