I am ready!

What's wrong with this picture?

Even if the Bank can assist in helping people get their funds (someday), I would think that your lawyers might still possibly be able to go after ePassporte/SKNB in court for malfeasance/misfeasance/nonfeasance.

This whole affair is a travesty. Whomever perpetrated this fiasco, ePassporte or SKNB, should ultimately be held accountable (if not both).

If it were my money involved, I would yank it out ASAP, and have nothing to do with either company from hereon, since both seem to be most concerned with keeping their hands on the customers money, rather than dealing straightforward and honestly with the people whose money they were charged with managing properly so that there would be no major disruption in service in the first place (this nonsense has been going on for nearly a month now with no clear explanation that I know of from ePassporte or SKNB as to what occurred, and when/how all those affected can withdraw their VV money).

:2 cents:

I sincerely hope everyone gets back their money eventually.

ADG

so the bank just "took it over".

no fight from Chris, no opposition from Chris, no press release etc.. nothing. He just stepped a side a let them take it over. And the bank just decided one day, hey lets take over epass's VV accounts...

Seems like epass had to have been doing something wrong big time that they wont even fight it. Also I doubt Visa would let the bank kick epass out like that for "no reason".

THIS!

No Fight whatsoever, no real explanation...

:disgust :disgust

OH OH I KNOW!

If that bank 'take over' the VV service... they better have a VERY NICE explanation since nobody will ever trust them anymore.

Why would I use a bank that unplugged Epassporte without any notice to take over their business?!

Yup, once that typo is fixed, all will be well again, and the money will flow like manna from heaven. :upsidedow

I have around $10,000 over 4 accounts

i got 500$, so if possible count me in.
icq 42800100

count me too, I have $14k in vv

I have $4600

PM ME

I seriously doubt that there was no notice. I believe epass is flat out lieing about the 'no notice' and 'no explaination' part of thier story. That being said, I would trust a system run by a national bank alot more then I would trust a system run by epass.

I had 972$ on my VV account! Of course you can count me in!

Iv got that Thursday feeling again...... Should I ring them again ...Nope just a waste of an international call with the same old crap being told to all of us who did bother to phone them

7k - 2 accounts

bump, any news ?

Is nobody wondering about the bank's message? they say that VISA was only shut down in LATE September! So why were we not able to access the virtual accounts then?

Also, it seems the bank wants to keep us waiting. It looked promising at first, but it could take weeks or months until they give us a real update.
I think it's time for some action!

The bank gave us nothing but another bullshit stall tactic today. I think we should proceed with legal action.

SKNANB had visa turn off the cards in very early September.

On Sept 23rd, SKNANB shut off epassporte's access to the virtual visa info, meaning epass could no longer see the account info, balance, etc.

2 different shut offs :2 cents:

Shap, I think we're getting to the moment where the lawyers have to contact the bank! They said we'll get update how to get our money today, but instead we got nothing but added phone number!!

Please mention that to your lawyers and I'll proceed contacting mine. Enough is enough.

I'm in ! i got 5 figures and dammit i am gonna fight for it

P.S. I wasnt able to find qualified lawyers on this issue by myself, otherwise i would help out with that as well , i do however have emails, phone logs that can be used if needed . actually i will post something right here :Got this on sept 13th !

Thank you for your e-mail. I apologize for this situation. We are working with our Bank and with Visa to release funds to our cardholders who have funds on the Virtual and Electron Cards. Thank you for your continued patience.

Your funds are currently safe with our Bank. We are negotiating with Visa to re-establish our cards so that our customers can withdraw funds. Those negotiations are still ongoing. We are also working on alternate solutions with the Bank so that your funds will be release to you by other means.

I understand your concern. Your account information is already accessible by our Bank because of our legal and contractual obligations to them as our Issuing Bank. You do not need to retain a lawyer to release the information. The Bank is very concerned about our customers receiving their funds, and by banking regulations and laws they MUST release the funds that belong to you. As to when this will occur, I do not know yet. ePassporte will strive to make communications regarding this situation clear to its account holders. Please keep checking your ePassporte Message Center for updates. We will let you know more information as soon as we know more.

I hope I have answered your questions. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know.

Thank you for your continued patience.

candyx, what email address you got this email from? Seems like a lot changed since.

And some contacts with epass I have don't respond to my direct question about their partnership with SKNANB. I asked whether they ended their partnership whatsoever... no answers.

I suggest that we organize a joint venture and fight for our money until last penny!! Motherfuckers!!

well i emailed back then to [email protected] then i got this reply from [email protected].

Did the lawyers contact the bank yet?

bump for you

bump again
where is shap :(

bump 1 more

shap are you live man

count me too
30K in VV

Hmm... maybe ePassporte wasn't keeping track of docs well enough to conform to banking regulations so St. Kitts told VISA to shut everything off until that happens. Perhaps they are still talking and perhaps this is all just speculation.

count me too bro $1.3к VV
ICQ 325714089
hit me back if you need:)

They just updated their site to say Oct 6th cards will be back in working order.

Yeah, and apparently those without physical cards will be able to get a check or wire with proper documentation, fingers crossed.

no special dates,
so what and when to wait and expect?

oops, my bad, i hav read it wrong..
in real news are positive and informative
sorry

Bump for Shap and his lawyers.

So what's the news Shap? We are supposed to get our VV money tomorrow, but what about people worried about their wallet money? You asked us how much we had in our accounts. Do you have any update?

I'm waiting for the re-activation on the VV side. Based on this thread I believe the VV side was the bigger side of the business and the one St Kitts wanted to acquire. They appear to have every intention of running it.

This entire situation is a mess however regarding the wallet Epassporte has always lived up to their word and paid out what was in the wallet to myself and people I know. This effort was regarding St Kitts bank. I know this won't be popular but I can't head up a group to go after a company that lived up to their word and paid me all my money.

looks like the wallet money is stuck now
do you have lawyers on this as well?
