The question you should be asking yourself is: _Why_ is there a 'problem
with the DNS'?
The nameservers recently got repointed to parked-domain nameservers --
and this deed was not done by Grant, the (erstwhile) domain owner
('Registrant'). Who would do that, and why?
I've already told you the answer: The _registrar_ repointed the
authoritative nameservice to parked-domain nameservers, and the
registrar did so _because_ Grant missed the domain expiration, resulting
in the domain being suspended.
This is what happens when domains expire.
There is limited time to fix it, but you-plural can easily do so: Pay
the domain renewal, and you'll be fine.
I've now said all this, I think, twice. I'm done. If you want to
disregard what I'm saying, good luck.
