  • RLTFX RLT (@RLTFX) reported

    @Bowen85AI @andrewmichaeli8 @IGClientHelp Yeah three days now I’ve had tonnes of trouble getting on for at least an hour.

  • DavidPe37451789 David Peterson (@DavidPe37451789) reported

    @IGClientHelp Terrible service recently. 2nd time in 2 days and happening more and more often. No one answering the phones and a live chat that no one responds to. What goodwill gesture will you offer to stop me going elsewhere because I'm out of pocket over the last 2 days?

  • hussaimo Hussaimo (@hussaimo) reported

    @IGcom Its still not working, absolute joke

  • schismmonger Generation X (@schismmonger) reported

    @IGcom Stop making excuses and beef up you servers and customer service so that they can cope with demand. I along with many others am thinking of leaving IG. You can't be down at the most volatile time. Only excuse is if the market is suspended.

  • segagamer フアン (@segagamer) reported

    @IGClientHelp So when are you upgrading your server infrastructure?

  • ClaudioHoban Claudiu Hoban (@ClaudioHoban) reported

    @IGClientHelp Coincidently when my account was 6000 higher than when you resumed trading. Absolute thieves. Every need to leave a review with this service.

  • steeve_inv Steeve S (@steeve_inv) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom It's ridiculous, they spent 1 Billion to buy US TastyTrade this month, make tons of money from 75% of retail loosing money and STILL can't handle current traffic or fix 3-day issue...

  • TheMoneySponge 💰 𝑺𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆 💰 (@TheMoneySponge) reported

    @TheDumbBunny1 @IGClientHelp yep you need to limit new accounts until you can scale the app to cope, existing users not getting the service they are paying for and puts us at risk PS: Do send this on to the people that need to read it please

  • euancharles Euan.fi (@euancharles) reported

    @IGClientHelp I am logged in but the mobile platform displays "service connection failure" and desktop will not accept position edits... How many people will lose money (again) because your infrastructure is not fit for purpose...

  • PureRogue369 PureRogue369 (@PureRogue369) reported

    @IGClientHelp An English language EU call line number for existing clients please. Below not working Existing clients: +35 318 009 95364

  • steeve_inv Steeve S (@steeve_inv) reported

    @EzIntenso @IGClientHelp Same here... even if I manage to log-in it crashes... it's ridiculous, been with IG since 2015 with no major issues but this does it. Have emailed them asking for compensation and am looking to change broker.

  • frinton63 JAN (@frinton63) reported

    @IGcom Terrible service from a terrible company , I’m moving

  • Am1n0_LDN HR1234 (@Am1n0_LDN) reported

    @IGClientHelp you still down?

  • jas251068 Jason Nicholls (@jas251068) reported

    @IGClientHelp Truly shocking service, no explanation offered , I’m moving away from these cowboys

  • Openskies13 Openskies (@Openskies13) reported

    @observer1100 @dirossiale @IGcom Strange that .. the UK and Australia system... same issues/ same time ...m

  • segagamer フアン (@segagamer) reported

    @IGClientHelp Still cannot log in as of 18:00 and support staff are most unhelpful, essentially saying "try later". Terrible service! Do they know that "later" can cost us a lot of money?

  • Nedsir1 Nedsir (@Nedsir1) reported

    @IGClientHelp Could use web access, live chat timed-out, phone line would not connect, app would not connect. What kind of a half arsed service is this?

  • EquityInvestme2 Equity Investments (@EquityInvestme2) reported

    @Rseabiscuit @IGClientHelp @TheFCA Maybe. IT issues also down to volatility with dealing with large volume orders and being able to settle the orders - money flow. So easier for them to 'turn off the system' and let them catchup back office.

  • AngeloR30700761 Angello B (@AngeloR30700761) reported

    @dirossiale @IGcom @aussieg7 Remove your cash from IG use other brokers...tried to blame my home network today when their platforms are down. Any excuses not to compensate.

  • treenie64 Gary Treen (@treenie64) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGSquawk Awful service these days. Need to get your act together. Also dont say to telephone as no one ever answers!

  • Nedsir1 Nedsir (@Nedsir1) reported

    @IGClientHelp Do IG ever respond to these threads? very poor service

  • shabakNuke shabak (@shabakNuke) reported

    @Openskies13 @IGcom Contact FCA - tell them about situation and fill complain (someone here already gave this advice). On dip I could buy shares for 100k as i like the stock - because of them I could not. Lots of money lost 🤓 And hold it :D #GME #TheFCA

  • steeve_inv Steeve S (@steeve_inv) reported

    @maneco1964 @krazouki @IGcom They even liquidated a position I had in Oil by system 'accident'... during the meltdown. Heard a hell of a lot of excuses from their customer services... thank God the only one I didn't hear was that I had not enough margin money...

  • JohanDXB Johan (@JohanDXB) reported

    It took 2 whole hours to my broker @IGcom to open trading today ! Market has been open for 2 hours but I wasn't able to trade... really poor service.

  • dirossiale Ale (@dirossiale) reported

    @IGcom YOU'VE BEEN REPORTED TO THE FCA - PREPARE YOURSELF TO COMPENSATE YOUR CUSTOMER FOR YOUR CONSTANT SYSTEM FAILURES - YOU'RE A FRAUD- SCAMMERS

  • dirossiale Ale (@dirossiale) reported

    @AngeloR30700761 @IGcom @aussieg7 I'm holding large spread bets positions. Once, I close these, I will close my account. They've been bad more times than not. I'm going to spend the weekend gathering all the evidence of the issues I had with them since the summer of 2020. The Fca needs to act. Too many complaints

  • kasedale Kasedale (@kasedale) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGSquawk service noticably deteriorating...

  • harrywinmillion Harry Wynn-Williams (@harrywinmillion) reported

    @IGcom More than login issues!

  • domhawkes Dominic hawkes (@domhawkes) reported

    @IGcom Thanks for the short notice with regards to the margin rate😖after going through this problem with @Trading212 your customer service team told me that if this happens on are Platform we will give you significant amount of time. Not sure 3 hours and 15 mins is good enough

  • mojn89 Origami lover (@mojn89) reported

    @IGcom Poor service
