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

  • 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

  • mojn89 Origami lover (@mojn89) reported

    @IGcom Poor service

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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?

  • hussaimo Hussaimo (@hussaimo) reported

    @IGcom Its still not working, absolute joke

  • 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...

  • Am1n0_LDN HR1234 (@Am1n0_LDN) reported

    @IGClientHelp you still down?

  • 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?

  • kasedale Kasedale (@kasedale) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGSquawk service noticably deteriorating...

  • segagamer フアン (@segagamer) reported

    @IGClientHelp So when are you upgrading your server infrastructure?

  • 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.

  • 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

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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!

  • harrywinmillion Harry Wynn-Williams (@harrywinmillion) reported

    @IGcom More than login issues!

  • Charlie_gatos Charlie Menegatos (@Charlie_gatos) reported

    @AndrewDem @IGClientHelp A few others have had similar issues, but agreed not good enough

  • 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...

  • RLTFX RLT (@RLTFX) reported

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

  • frinton63 JAN (@frinton63) reported

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

  • 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

  • jas251068 Jason Nicholls (@jas251068) reported

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

  • ism12 ian minshaw (@ism12) reported

    @IGcom yet another institution trying to shut the retail investors down with huge margins but happy to take profit when they get it wrong GameStop corp a joke

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • amitpanchal76 Amit Panchal (@amitpanchal76) reported

    @IGClientHelp you live chat sucks as nobody types and you don’t respond here. DM me or it’s time to go to the some news agencies and complain.

  • 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.
