What updates do you people want? The bank has already said they will activate the cards on the 6th. Some of you guys are just childish wit your "Give me my money" posts. Go find an offline job and stop crying like a bunch of bitches.

But when I'm feeling like I'm being ignored for a few weeks in a row, and I know they would help me if they wanted to, that's when I'm getting pissed off...

Great reply man, thats exactly how I feel.

J. Falcon, if you're such an expert then tell me what should I do?
Mail them to get copy/paste reply again and again?
I've said only positive things about ePass for 3 weeks since it all started.
Though I haven't got a cent from my wallet since September 3rd, and I need and waiting for these money.
They could enable withdrawals to my credit card 3 weeks ago, and they didn't do it while they did it for other people with problems absolutely similar to mine.

I'm not an expert and I understand your frustration. If I were in your position, I would continue to email Michael directly (he at least responds to emails).

Chosen · 10-04-2010, 04:33 AM

J. Falcon, I've emailed Michael directly numerous times regarding my wire transfer status & withdrawals to my credit card.
Guess what? Not a single useful answer. He answered but in his answers were no information and no solution.

michael.kickass · 10-04-2010, 05:25 AM

Don't fight people, just wait until October, 6th for SKNANB response. I suggest you do what Falcon said, mail Michael O directly. It's clear that no one gives a fuck about us in ePass.

It's a bit strange, I had to wait long for the withdrawals to my credit card, but in the end they arrived all of them in a random order.

I can whine about all these transaction costs (and that ridiculous extra fee to higher your limits to $600), but I'm happy I got every dollar from my eWallet minus the fees. Hope it will finally also work out for you.

Now only the funds on my Visa card are left... hopefully SKNANB really hold on to their 6 october deadline.

I have the same message, and I will state that I miss the functionality that Epassporte provided, I will miss the convenience of Epass payments. I will miss not being able to buy random content and scripts - because there is no way in hell I'm usng my personal Visa to buy anything at GFY.

And I will miss Michael Olsen's support.

Even though I was wrong about the ultimate outcome of this situation, no one wins - paticularly not me or the people I paid through Epass. My days of buying stuff at GFY are over.

And I won't be signing up for any other service - I'll be going back to face to face transactions.

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 10-04-2010, 08:06 PM

I guess this thread may not hit 100 pages after all...

It sure would be nice if someone from ePassporte would come in and explain exactly what led to their demise.

Not just hai guise, sowwy, buh-bye.

No double talk, just the straight scoop.

If SKNANB can resurrect the Virtual Visa card program, then why was ePassporte unable to do so?

This is the least that ePassporte owes it's customers...well, next to their money.

I saw this coming, but I am not going to say I told you so, instead I am going to hope that everyone who is owed money from ePassporte is able to eventually retrieve all of their money.

I guess you are more interested in being a smartass, than understanding my question.

If you read all of my post, I asked ePassporte to explain exactly what caused the bank to cut them off in the first place.

In case, you haven't been keeping track, that question has never been answered by ePassporte, nor by the bank.

I would be leery of doing business with either one of those companies until that question is answered.

sgreen · 10-04-2010, 11:37 PM

Seems Epass aren't the only ones..

The collapse of one of the UK's largest foreign exchange firms has hit more than 13,000 consumers today.
Crown Currency Exchange (CCE) called in administrators MCR, leaving holidaymakers and business travellers without any travel money.

MCR stressed it cannot guarantee an early resolution and said those looking for a 'quick return of their money' may be left disappointed.

Oh no: More than 13,000 customers of Crown Currency Exchange lost money

CCE, based in Hayle, Cornwall, allows customers to pre-order foreign currency of between £300 to £10,000 at today's prices up to a year in advance.

MCR said customers would not receive orders for travel cash due for delivery from today onwards - or any previous orders that have not yet been delivered - at this stage. It said it would be in contact with those affected soon, but advised worried customers to contact MCR directly on 020 7487 7240.

Internet forums have been flooded with messages from anxious customers over the weekend, when it emerged that Barclays had frozen CCE's bank accounts. CCE customers have not been able to contact the group since the end of last week, with all customer service numbers ringing out.

One message from a customer called Andy on moneysavingexpert.com, who said he is due 2,300 US dollars to take his children to Disneyland, read: 'I'm crying as I write this message. I fly out to the States Thursday as a surprise for my two children. They have no idea they're going to Walt Disney. I cannot describe in words how I feel right now.'

Another called Sarah said she feared her family has lost more than £300-worth of euros ordered with CCE recently. 'It looks like there is no way to get this money back. I'm gutted as we saved so hard for two years for this holiday and now it's looking like we will have to cancel,' she wrote.
It is understood Barclays barred CCE from withdrawing or transmitting any money to customers over the weekend after the company's directors told the bank it was on the brink of collapse.

Paul Clark, partner at administrator MCR, said: 'Like many operators in the travel sector, it has experienced a difficult trading environment during the course of the past 12 months, which has been exacerbated by a further downturn and general tightening of the travel market.'

He added: 'We fully appreciate the difficult position in which many will now find themselves in - many in the build-up to holidays or business trips, as well as money transfers associated with second home purchases.

'However, the administration process is in its early days and we cannot guarantee an early resolution for those looking for a quick return of their money.'

CCE boasts on its website that it has processed foreign currency transactions worth more than £150 million over the past five years. It was set up by husband and wife team Peter and Susan Benstead. CCE was not available for comment.

alphaque · 10-04-2010, 11:42 PM

as now we can't retrieve our VISA balance from epassporte, should we contact SKNANB to check the balance ? I sent SKNANB email to ask for the balance, no reply at all !

intimstudio · 10-04-2010, 11:47 PM

I received the balance confirmation from SKNANB via email. I sent them scan of my VISA card and personal information (ID).

The collapse of one of the UK's largest foreign exchange firms has hit more than 13,000 consumers today. Crown Currency Exchange (CCE) called in administrators MCR, leaving holidaymakers and business travellers without any travel money. MCR stressed it cannot guarantee an early resolution and said those looking for a 'quick return of their money' may be left disappointed. Oh no: More than 13,000 customers of Crown Currency Exchange lost money CCE, based in Hayle, Cornwall, allows customers to pre-order foreign currency of between £300 to £10,000 at today's prices up to a year in advance. MCR said customers would not receive orders for travel cash due for delivery from today onwards - or any previous orders that have not yet been delivered - at this stage. It said it would be in contact with those affected soon, but advised worried customers to contact MCR directly on 020 7487 7240. Internet forums have been flooded with messages from anxious customers over the weekend, when it emerged that Barclays had frozen CCE's bank accounts. CCE customers have not been able to contact the group since the end of last week, with all customer service numbers ringing out. One message from a customer called Andy on moneysavingexpert.com, who said he is due 2,300 US dollars to take his children to Disneyland, read: 'I'm crying as I write this message. I fly out to the States Thursday as a surprise for my two children. They have no idea they're going to Walt Disney. I cannot describe in words how I feel right now.' Another called Sarah said she feared her family has lost more than £300-worth of euros ordered with CCE recently. 'It looks like there is no way to get this money back. I'm gutted as we saved so hard for two years for this holiday and now it's looking like we will have to cancel,' she wrote. It is understood Barclays barred CCE from withdrawing or transmitting any money to customers over the weekend after the company's directors told the bank it was on the brink of collapse. Paul Clark, partner at administrator MCR, said: 'Like many operators in the travel sector, it has experienced a difficult trading environment during the course of the past 12 months, which has been exacerbated by a further downturn and general tightening of the travel market.' He added: 'We fully appreciate the difficult position in which many will now find themselves in - many in the build-up to holidays or business trips, as well as money transfers associated with second home purchases. 'However, the administration process is in its early days and we cannot guarantee an early resolution for those looking for a quick return of their money.' CCE boasts on its website that it has processed foreign currency transactions worth more than £150 million over the past five years. It was set up by husband and wife team Peter and Susan Benstead. CCE was not available for comment.
