A growing number of users are sharing frustrations after a Litecoin (LTC) deposit went uncredited and a support ticket was abruptly closed. One Ontario user, who reached out to Kraken support, reported no follow-up despite blockchain confirmations.
What's Happening?
The user, who had all on-chain confirmations for an LTC deposit, found their Kraken account marked as "pending". After contacting support, their ticket, #16415879, was marked "solved" with little to no explanation given. This left them without access to their funds and puzzled about the next steps.
Support Issues Amplified
Users expressed their discontent:
They were forced into email support against their will.
Many believe this practice violates Ontario’s Electronic Commerce Act (ECA).
The lack of clear communication from Kraken has added to growing anxiety.
"I never agreed to switch channels—this feels unfair," the user stated during their attempts to clarify the situation.
Legal Ramifications in Play
The user has taken a firm stance, citing potential breaches in consumer protection laws. They emphasized:
Consumer Protection Act: Services must be completed in a reasonable timeframe.
If no credit or refund is received in five business days, a formal complaint will go to the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery.
They've also made a request under PIPEDA for internal notes about the deposit hold.
Community Sentiment
Feedback has been overwhelmingly supportive. Here are some key points from other people's experiences:
"I faced the same situation last month—no response, just silence."
"It's frustrating when exchanges ignore issues like this."
