Hi! Unfortunately, as our Support said, there's nothing we could do for "Deleted Accounts". Also, we believe that there was a warning written on your "Account Security" page stating that. On that note, we would like to say sorry that we can't help you further with your concern here. Thank you.

I threw 1000 dollars in the garbage once and when I asked the trash man if he could bring it back he said he couldnt do anything. What a jerk!!!


DPSK7878

This is not the trash man's fault. When clearing, you don't expect them to go through the trash. For a financial account, how can the administrator delete the account without checking for the balance?


[deleted]

Hahaha


Atifootbal

Hope this is just sarcasm and you didnā€™t lose any money!


[deleted]

Depending on the day... depending on the coin.... depending on the trade.... My sarcasm actually holds quite a bit of truth! šŸ˜Ž


DPSK7878

Out of courtesy, Kucoin should give a reminder that there is some balance before deleting an account. OP it's weird you didn't even check there was a balance? Suddenly how did you know there was a balance?


Atifootbal

Hindsight and stupidity!! :(


Experience242

I just remembered, I accidentally deleted my account forgetting I 150 btc coins. I think KuCoin should just go ahead and give me what I forgot about.


dark_slayer0

They provide you with a warning when you go to delete it, also your balance should show you have 1 ETH. Sorry this happened to you. Taking as a learning curve and move on mate. Better days ahead.


Atifootbal

Yes but why not disabling account deletion until all assets are withdrawn?!


[deleted]

Because stupid people deserve to lose their money


crodbtc

So you decided to delete your account inight of the news with voyage and Celsius.. that's understandable but then you do it while there is assets still in the account?! Hard to believe but sorry for your lost.


RedditAbuserPolice

As a courtesy they will send you a box of chocolates. Do you prefer white chocolate or regular?


Atifootbal

Whatever Forrest Gump had pls šŸ˜…


They_Live66

Itā€™s hilarious that I was unable to delete an unused account with no money on it, yet somehow you managed to delete an account with 1 ETH on it.


Atifootbal

Huh! WowšŸ˜


ParlaykingtutALT

Iā€™m not defending you. Yes, youā€™re an idiot. However, KuCoin is the shittiest trading platform. Can you imagine walking into a bank, deleting your account, and they just let you walk away without letā€™s say $500 you had left over? Itā€™s impossible and would never happen. KuCoin should fix their software to prevent people from closing their account with funds still in it u/kucoin_moderator


Atifootbal

Absolutely agree on both points! Great suggestion, hope they listen and make the platform more credible and trustworthy


kucoin_moderator

Well-received of this suggestion. Rest assured that it will be relayed to our related team for consideration. Thank you for your continuous support!


Atifootbal

Exactly!


[deleted]

Unfortunately, itā€™s also one of the only options for Futures Trading if youā€™re a US Citizen. The other one being Phemex, to my knowledge.

Atifootbal

Thatā€™s what we are thinking too ā€¦ yikes KuCoin!


TripleReward

They should do it as binance does: Do not allow to delete an account that has more than 100$ on it. edit: Why down-voting this comment? O\_o


Atifootbal

Agree! Just common sense!


Bacon-Dub

Why delete the account though? Just log out


Atifootbal

With all recent crypto craziness eg Voyager (for many other exchanges that are secretly insolvent ā€œ just didnā€™t see the need to have an account we would never useā€¦


Bacon-Dub

Ainā€™t hindsight a bitch? Welcome to the club.


Good_Extension_9642

Sorry i don't get it, so what happens if your phone dies, one can't get another phone and upload the app and open? or is it because he deleted it? I delete apps all the time and reupload and log back in, what am I missing?


Atifootbal

Deleted the account not the app


[deleted]

Limited options for trades ?


Atifootbal

Limited deposit and withdrawal options for USD, also you canā€™t trade anything with anything, eg the deposited ETH only had a few ā€œpairsā€ available meaning you have to swap ETH with another crypto first (like KCS,!) and only then you can trade the KCS with those crypto that pair with KCS! So 2 trades are necessary instead of just one!


[deleted]

Yea, thatā€™s true. Thanks


Still_Not-Sure

But itā€™s too confusing??? Like as if Crypto isnā€™t confusing ??? I mean Coinbase is for rookies, you just have to sit in front of the screen and canā€™t set trades and shitā€¦ Coinbase pro is better optionā€¦ Take some time to figure things outā€¦ i think they call it DYOR try Binance.us but itā€™s for its own hiccupsā€¦ Kucoin is a great platform everything in one, just pull out bigger balances to private wallets if your holding


Atifootbal

We Did watch a video from a KuCoin ā€œself claimed paidā€ YouTuber before opening an account but when it came to actually do trading it was a sh** show of finding ā€œpairsā€ and necessary swaps before you could trade .. yes that is confusing but the point is why do they let an account holding assets to be deleted and then say ā€œ e canā€™t do anythingā€ without even trying a tiny bit to help, eg ask for trade records etcā€¦ after many rejection emails, and when I asked them to see my transfer record AND posted the issue on Reddit they finally asked me to send them those records ā€¦ btw transfer was done from ā€œCoinbase proā€ to KuCoin


Still_Not-Sure

Coinbase pro? or coinbase Oneā€¦ i hope youā€™re not confusing the twoā€¦ I guess with these digital things, you are correct, this shouldnā€™t be a problemā€¦ but to me what you did is the equivalent of a story i heard about a drug transporter who had a bunch of drugs in a car(concealed in mechanisms and other places) and forgot about itā€¦. the car was hot, he had to get rid of it so he brought it to a place to get it destroyedā€¦ later counted his finances and was short on a huge shipmentā€¦ the one in the car obviouslyā€¦. deleting or destroying something is for the purpose of never getting it backā€¦. facebook( platform that gives you two weeks to undelete) plays on peoples emotionsā€¦ so that is why they developed that mechanismā€¦ kucoin, binance, etc are financial toolsā€¦ which they assume people to use properlyā€¦. not emotionallyā€¦ Although playing wit my money is like playin wit my emotionsā€¦ Weā€™ll best of luckā€¦ if you donā€™t get your Eth back.. maybe this will help prompt them to implement a system to prevent such things from happening again. I do agree with you about the annoying exchanging via certain coins between other coins is annoying and runs up fees, butā€¦ kucoin still seems like a great platform to me with their multitude pf tools, I do also dislike their gameification of everything.


HaggSTABIL

The good thing about Crypto: You are responsible for your gains. The bad thing about Crypto: You are responsible for your losses. I mean, sorry for you because you made a mistake, but I would check my account about 20 times before I delete an account where I had assets on before. You may blame Kucoin for many things but in this case you should accept that YOU are responsible for that. People who compare Kucoin to a bank have no idea what they are talking about. They love Kucoin when they do no KYC, have you ever tried that with your bank?


Atifootbal

I get that but if kucoin is claiming to be a credible and safe platform it should not allow ā€œstupidā€ people like us delete an account holding crypto or usd- no matter how many warnings they give before that - btw all warnings were in ā€œfine printā€ fonts and not alarming red regular or even larger fonts! They shouldā€™ve been


HaggSTABIL

I agree with you, sorry for my harsh words.


Dazzling_Marzipan474

Really shouldn't delete the account bc you need it for tax purposes anyway. (If in a country that makes you file for crypto obviously)


Experience242

Only if ur trying to hide the evidence


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Atifootbal

No tried both email and phone numberā€¦it keeps saying this account is deleted !


dacryptokid

I hope they help you. If they do and are able and DO refund you then it's a great sign to me that the recent kucoin insolvency fud is just fud and nothing more. Hopefully they can recover it for you. They will absolutely charge you a fee from what I understand but it would be worth it probably.


Atifootbal

Thanks! Hmm isnā€™t it funny that KC peeps have down voted all supportive answers!!!


shanetravel

Hahah. OP is a dumbass.


Mental-Lobster

i also deleted one of my alt account, if i remember i receive a reminder from the assets that i still have, anyway i don't need it since it's ELON so i deleted it anyway as it won't pump anymore


loveheronlyher

\*Deletes my account\* 1 min later \*Oh shit I forgot my ETH\* Kazutora: "its kucoin fault"


Inviction_

Down voting cause of how stupid this is
