Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), I initiated a SEPA withdrawal transfer from my wallet on Coinbase with the value of XXXX. I received an automated email saying that the money would arrive in my bank account by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). Today is XXXX XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) and the money still has n't arrived in my account even though on Coinbase the transfer is said to be completed. I have sent multiple support tickets which have n't been responded to. The dates of the supports tickets which got automated responses are ; XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I sent XXXX before those which did n't even get an automated response. For a company that deals with consumers money to not respond is outrageous. I have waited over a month for something that was said to take a few days and am still waiting.

Consumer Complaint: Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) an international student from XXXX XXXX holding a valid XXXX XXXX and Driver license without SSN. I invested the digital currency ( ethereum and litecoin ) through the platform - Coinbase, a digital asset exchange company headquartered in XXXX XXXX, California. I was only asked for valid Driver license when I buy those currency. My account information is my email address : XXXXXXXXXXXX I sold ethereum ( XX/XX/2017 ) for {$2300.00} USD and those fund was back to my digital wallet, which they called USD wallet. However, I am only able to withdraw {$1000.00} money back to my bank, and they suddenly required ssn for withdraw. There is no clear statement that I required to have ssn to invest, ssn is only written as the way to increase the limit I can buy or sell in a week, which coinbase have stated I have {$10000.00} selling limit per week. Currently, I ca n't withdrawn money or sell more digital currency I have in my account. The account is required ssn to make any further movement, it is basically frozen now. There are about 1.3k USD in my litecoin account ( the currency keep changing on the market ), XXXX USD in my USD wallet and XXXX USD pending money which will transfer to this USD wallet. I have tried contact their customer service, but there is no way to call them and their email is no longer available. Only way to reach them is through submit a request or message their support through XXXX, which they never response. I have tried to close my entire account to withdraw all my money but it also require ssn information. Coinbase community has a forum, which named Coinbase community, there are many invester facing similar problem and never get a response from Coinbase. It is what it 's happening now, Thanks for your help!

Issue: Confusing or missing disclosures

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On the XXXX XXXX XXXX 2017 I created and verified an account with Coinbase. They verified my information and nationality without any problem. On the XX/XX/XXXXi received my purchased Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin in my account ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ETH and XXXX LTC ). After a vacation in XXXX i found out my account was blocked i received a automated notification that i needed to prove my nationality and place of residence ( which is the XXXX ). There was no trading or accessing funds performed while on XXXX grounds. On XXXX XXXX 2017 i send all the requested information via secure link and got an confirmation email ( automated ). " Thanks for reaching out. Having investigated the issue, I am working with a specialist to address it properly. We will follow-up with you as soon as we have an update. '' This notification seems to be send to all people with the same issue, afterwards no further communication or follow-up is provided. I have repeatedly send emails to customer support asking for follow-up or information on the status of my account, without any reply. It seems strange to me that a company is allowed to take your money and freeze it without any notification. Furthermore, there is no possible way to get in touch or receive any feedback on the status of my accounts.
