Jason Nicholls (@jas251068) reported
@IGClientHelp Truly shocking service, no explanation offered , I’m moving away from these cowboys
-
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.

@IGClientHelp @IGcom Service has been terrible... no access at all. Thinking of going to #uniswap

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.

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...

@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

@IGClientHelp So when are you upgrading your server infrastructure?

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?

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!

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

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

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 @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.

@IGClientHelp @IGSquawk IT IS A RECURRENT PROBLEM AS SOON AS USA OPENS. YOU NEED TO INVEST IN A BETTER SERVER/BANDWIDTH ETC. CAPS WERE NOT INTENDED.

@IGcom Poor service

maneco64 (@maneco1964) reported
@IGcom @luxmanage1 Why don't you employ more brokers to pick up the phone when your system is down? Why not spend $1 billion employing humans and improving your systems instead of buying another online broker.

@IGClientHelp This was an issue on the USA open but I'm logged in now. Hopefully this doesn't happen again. I got a taste what Robinhood folks are going through.

JAN (@frinton63) reported
@IGcom Terrible service from a terrible company , I’m moving
-
Origami lover (@mojn89) reported
@IGClientHelp @IGcom *correction* not some users but almost every user. your service is becoming poorer each time there is a volatility on US stocks. I hope people file a law suit against your restrictions on purchases of GME and AMC stocks from the past couple of days.

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...

💰 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

HR1234 (@Am1n0_LDN) reported
@IGClientHelp you still down?

sam (@jamsugg) reported
@IGClientHelp @IGcom App fully down for me and has been since 14:30 on the dot 🤔. And even if/when I did eventually manage to login via laptop it won’t let me trade!! Absolute shocker 🤬
-
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.

@maneco1964 @IGcom It’s an absolute disgrace. Do you think refunds / reimbursements will happen? I will 100% leave as a customer if they don’t.

@IGClientHelp Please inform your clients what is the reason for these continued issues this week, and how you plan to avoid these going forward. The uncertainty around this happening again is an incentive to find other trading platforms.
