I had a legacy account aswell i believe, and it got changed to unverified, and i'm from the EU. Had a good amount of money there. I guess i will just need to verify my passport before i can withdraw?

Anyway, i'm not sure how they can change something like this without noticing ANYBODY.
I haven't received a single email, nor did it seem like they updated their ToS, ( as i never accepted any new TOS of them, in a form of a popup/email... ? )

Keep in mind that their verifier third party Jumio is in the hands of a guy that co-started facebook. Their TOS states they'll sell their ID data to anyone for profit. Because of this, I'm never going to send these clowns my ID. For now, I'm viewing my stuck balance as casualty of war.

What you mean their ID data to anyone? Even if their TOS says that, it's still illegal to sell passports and other ID's. By the way it seems that they are actually verifying more accounts now, I've seen some people that got verified and bittrex support even apologized for it so I guess there is still hope. I'm still going to withdraw everything as soon as I can tho.

I have launched a telegram group. I want all those whose account has been disabled to join to this group. and if we needed to file a lawsuit against them we can do it collectively for better results.

Is that for US only? It would be a bit hard to do it from all over the world and I'm not from US myself. I will personally wait a little bit more because I sent my ticket only 1 week ago but eventually I'm going to have to do something if they keep doing this.

I just posted a more lengthy account in another thread but in essence I am now stuck like many others here.

In summary:

Legacy account holder > 3 years without verification.
Last successful withdrawal of ~0.15 BTC was November 1st of this year.
Went to withdrawal remaining balance ~0.15 BTC today and got exceed limit message.
Tried to do basic verification and it said unable to verify.
They now want me to do enhanced verification, lol right.

Sad thing is this reminds me of Cryptsy just before they went under. People started reporting having withdrawal problems, they hid behind the KYC and AML laws while in reality they were exit scamming. History may not repeat exactly, but it often rhymes.

Well, if nothing else I guess I can use this to offset some of my taxable gains this year.

Perhaps they have a backroom deal with authorities seeking to identify crypto currency holders and only release accounts when they get a clear from higher up.
Such collaboration would explain all the closed Iranian / Syrian accounts as these countries fall under the economic sanctions list.

Ok but whatever it is, why not make a statement at least somewhere, twitter even to tell customers that they are working on it or something. This whole behavior just screams scam, even if it's not they are totally destroying their reputation.

Yes, sometimes it is making frustration because how can simply they leave the money without any reason they are blocking the accounts is really something they need to take care of the customers. We have to be very careful with these exchanges because they are changing rules according to their convenience.

I had verified with bittrex and never encountered any issues so far. maybe users should be made aware that they need to get themselves verify to prevent any withdrawal issues.

Who ever feel free to change the policy without notice and let the user decide if the new policy fits them or not, and not allowing them to withdraw the funds without notice is a scammer, this is the first step, next step they will whatever they like .

Similar issues here. Name Mismatch on account verification and suddenly I can't access my money. Opened a support ticket but been ignored for almost 2 weeks now.

I was able to sent over $2k (which grew to $6k) but can't get it out!

I was never informed while putting the money in that I need to be verified to withdraw it. I'm not sure what they are playing at but here in UK this is illegal. It's up to them to make sure people entering legal agreement with them have access to all the info ( e.g. couple weeks back, there was a court case where guy successfully argued he didn't need to pay a parking fine, he parked illegally but he got away with it because the signs were not easily visible from where he parked). I'm a professional person, not some student using his pocket money to do a bit of trading. I'm really busy now until Christmas but if my issue is not resolved by then I'm starting a legal process.

I am basically in exactly the same situation as you, UK, mismatch on account verification (had no idea it would scrape it from basic verification which didn't include my middle names), been about 2 weeks (my support ticket was opened on nov 16th) but I got over 20k USD in there. Been a loyal customer of theirs since January 2014 and I'd never had any trouble with them until this. Shocking how they don't tweet out a public statement regarding the backlog, even knowing that they are actually working on it would ease a lot of nerves and help prevent people run away from the exchange like rats on a sinking ship. Another thing that would easily stop the backlog building up like others have suggested is allowing for the basic verification to be re-done and not allowing the registration of new accounts temporarily. The fact that they are not being transparent about it combined with what feel like intentional pitfalls in the verification process and the lack of ability to pull any funds all show that something fishy is going on here. I hope I am proven wrong and that members of the team come out and inform the public whats going on. Can someone with slack access please sit in slack and just report what the team are saying (if anything)?

They should disable DEPOSIT for unverified users, and then send notice to every single user prior to disable their withdrawal.

Same effect but done in a fair way.

It's also funny that people who are verified don't give a fuck about what's going on and they continue to use the exchange...

thats the kicker, you'd think people would be getting out in droves, appears no ones learnt the Gox, Cryptsy lessons Shocked

I too was legacy had without warning my withdraw limit reduced from 1337BTC to 0 BTC Angry

I seriously don't understand it, I mean we are not talking about a few complaints here, there are literally hundreds of thousands. If I was verified I would withdraw everything so fast and never use the exchange again.

I have a legacy account on bittrex, but now I can't withdraw my money. I've been a loyal user of bittrex for more than three years and this is not good.
