Wire withdrawals stuck in Nirvana
Opened 5 days ago by Adrian Golser (BC-xxx)
Status : Pending
Hello, I am writing in regards of two SEPA-Withdrawals that appear to be stuck for several days now, even after I received confirmation that the payout has been processed. The transaction numbers are 24224 and 304846, sum is xxx EUR each to different accounts in my name. I checked with my bank and they never received the transaction, so I assume the problem is on your end. Some additional info: There was another transaction that was returrned to my bitcoin-central account with the additional info "compte solde" (ID 284940, xxx EUR). Also, there was a withdrawal that was confirmed yesterday (ID 358049, xxx EUR) which I have received today. Please check what has happened and either proceed with the payouts or return the funds to my bitcoin-central account. Thank you very much Adrian

Hi, The following wire went through per our CIC bank statement: 13/04/2013 13/04/2013 VIR 304846 - xxx EUR There was no reject since then. So your bank has the money. I will look up the other one but it could be the same story.

Hello, It would indeed be very interesting to see what has happened with the second transaction, because it was transferred to a different bank and is just as non-existent as the first one. So two different banks are supposedly holding a xxx EUR transaction while one of them happily transfers a xxx EUR transaction a week later? Please take the time over the weekend to make sure that the money has been transferred to the right accounts, not been sent back rather than rejected, not been transferred to a wrong account etc. I have been in contact with the VR-Bank, who in a telephone conversation confirmed they have never received any funds from France or Paymium. On Monday evening, if I don't have a conclusive answer on why and how my funds were lost, I will order a bank investigation for both accounts (25 EUR ea) which I consider you to be liable for, since I have brought this matter to your attention in full detail and all information present already. They will show that these payments have not been routed over SWIFT with my account as the beneficiary. Furthermore, I will publish these conversations on bitcointalk, where wild speculation on the meaning of the phrase "compte solde" will prove most entertaining. Personally, I am sure that this is just a minor clerical error, but it will not get solved if you insist that I or my banks have already received the money. Do your best, Kind regards Adrian

Hello, I just received an Email with a copy of the bank wire for withdrawal 304846, which explains why I never received the money. The associated bank account (DE4970xxx) has been suspended. The payout mentioned above was requested to be processed for bank account "xxx" (DE3077xxx), the order 294224 for bank account "xxx" (DE46710xxxx), for which I suppose the transfer has been made to the suspended account as well. Screenshots of the withdrawal requests are available if needed. I am glad we could clear this up, as I suspected it was a minor clerical error and a bit of confusion. As for your transfers: I cannot tell you what will happen to them. I recommend calling xxx (http://www.xxx.de/) and make them return the funds, if they haven't done so themselves yet. I no longer have the possibility to contact their support but I might be able to help if you can't find anyone who speaks French or English. Please return the funds to my bitcoin-central account. Kind regards and thanks for the help Adrian

Well I am relieved to say that my sepa withdrawal showed up in my bank account today, thanks

I'm waiting for the email replay... I hope I can access my fresh bitcoin, I need it for buying stuff (yeah some people still use it for that...).

EDIT: I got the link thank you. I've made a bitcoin withdrawal, it's displayed as "Done" but there is no trace after a few minutes ?! Should I expect delay or something ?

How condescending .

I would advise them to consult an indpendent company for a complete security audit of their IT systems.

I was also been able to withdraw BTC funds from Bitcoin-Central.

I don't think we must distrust Paymium, but I think they have massive problems with the increase of interest in Bitcoin, just like the other exchanges. They are a little company (like all BTC companies, even MtGox). I hope they will be able to scale up the infrastructure so we continue to have a trustworthy EUR exchange.
