There have been instances when yahoo still charge customers automatically for the subsequent years even after customer's domains got already transferred away to another registrar! (their billing was somehow not synchronized with its domain registration system). But of course a call to the customer service (US toll-free number) can get the refund -- only if the customers realized such errors, and would actually complained though

the problem with big companies are that they normally cannot answer emails (or SMS!) for support, sales or account. you'd have to make the phone call, every time, which they normally excel, on the other hand.
