       I changed my address, and TransferWise in two days will empty my
       account
        
       I have a UK one-man company, through which I work as an IT
       contractor.  Recently, I changed the address.  TransferWise then
       KYCed, and requires;  1. A bank statement.  2. A utility bill.
       There are no other bank accounts, and it's a one-man company;
       there's no rental, no phone bill, no water bill - there is a server
       bill, for the server the company web-site is on, and this
       TransferWise have refused.  To date, TransferWise stated in their
       communications that if I could not prove the address, the account
       would become emit-only; I could not pay money in.  I have just
       received a message from TransferWise that _in two days, all funds
       in the account will be refunded_.  This is wholly different to what
       was said before, and I'm not clear about what it means : refunded?
       to whom? me? to those who paid in the funds?  This message from
       TransferWise has come Friday evening. It seems to me if I now move
       funds out of the account to other bank accounts, this will not
       occur over the weekend, and so not until Monday morning.  The
       deadline issued by TransferWise expires Sunday evening and I have
       no idea what then will happen.  As it is, I have a personal
       TransferWise account and transfers to there are immediate, so
       fortunately I have an emergency escape route.  I note that the
       address I had on file for the last some years also could not be
       proved, for exactly the same reasons.  I will now write to
       TransferWise customer support. I know from experience this is
       futile - there was an earlier occasion, some years ago, when the
       account was almost closed, because document upload on the
       TransferWise site was for me at least broken - but I will do so
       anyway. I will update the thread here with events.
