problem with my bank - GoFuckYourself.com

Hello everybody. It's quite a sad story to me or maybe some of you already had. Hope some of you can help me out or share some of your similar experience with me.

Recently my EU bank in Latvia requested me to send them a cancellation letter (with no obvious reason explained to me why). My bank account is now closed but my balance is put on a 'SUB-ACCOUNT' type of thing. In order to release my fund, they require me to visit the bank in person OR any of its partners (located in Russia, Ukraine and Byelorussia) and get my signature specimen authenticated. About a year and a half ago, many of us had to establish a company in EU region or north america inorder to keep our ibill or ccbill account for the website business. The
company setup should somewhat similar to this:

1. Offshore Company established in EU OR North America
2. An offshore coporate bank account setup in EU or North America
3. get money from a CIRRUS card or something like that.

Now, I guess I am pretty much had the same experience as some of you (or most of you). My question now is, why would they want to close my account and put the balance on "sub account" and not releasing back to me (unless I go there for some reason)? The agent who helped us to setup the company said that the bank has been waiting for me to send them back a Questionnaire form and company signature and coporate seal card for long time (which I never get any ENGLISH form of email or letter from them whatsoever, i received russian language message all the time). Now, I already did my best to prepare and sent them back those documents, but still require me to visit
them in person. Here's some of my pop up question that the bank want to clarify:

1. the passport that I used to renew the "power of attorney" document is expired (yes, my mistake, forgot to renew the passport at that time)?

2. why I ignore them for those questionnaire form and signature card for so long (I am totally

innocent, never get any kind of ENGLISH form of message thou)
3. suspect I am doing some illegal thing with the account? my account seems money laundry to them?

This has been bugging me for sometime now. It seems like the bank simply don't trust me as the person who's on the POS. Of course, I will visit for bank for sure to get my account balance. Really got nothing to hide. Please advise or share some of you view. Thanks in

advance.

Yeah, you can get 10 answers here, this person thinks that and that person thinks this but if your bank wants you to visit them then do that. Believe me, your bank knows better whats going on than anybody here on gfy.
