You do realize that your post contains absoultely no useful information that would allow us to help you right? Given this, I would suggest that you call your registrar as it seems highly likely that this is just a misunderstanding on your part.

When you registered, they probably sent you the code.
Else, there should be a link on their site (after you log in) to request one.
Who are you dealing with?

if you registered the domain name through your web host then they legally have to provide you access to the domain.

*i work for a web hosting company

The hosting company doesn't even have the authorization code. You need to ask the registrar.

snippet from email

"you never paid your bill so you lost your domain. If you
want it back you have to pay your balance. That's it."

i may have forgot to pay for my hosting but i did pay for my domain

Haha.... minor failure to disclose there... good for them, why should they give back the only leverage they have over a deadbeat who didn't pay for his hosting service? Sounds like they'll release your domain once you've settled up the money owed... pretty simple.

While it may be effective, it doesn't sound legal.

maybe it something i misunderstood. i believe they cut me off after right after my bill not being paid. (reading the last couple comments... perhaps i do owe money that i thought i didnt, this is why i did not say who was who so i dont start bashing people for no reason) i have not used the site after a week i paid for it as i am not in the know on how to build sites and the such. i will have to find a number and call to see whats what as the emails between us are not strictly spelled out.
