  • TradieJoe TradieJoe (@TradieJoe) reported

    @IGClientHelp I have an order stuck on your system that can not be deleted and my money has been stuck with you for two weeks now. I called your help desk and was told they couldn’t delete it and would raise it with IT. Still the order is there and has not or can not be deleted.

  • dlefcoe Trade the future... (@dlefcoe) reported

    @IGcom "We can't update your preferences because of a technical problem. Please try again later." API works for live account, but fails for demo account. API key generated username and password set to new values as per requirements. please advise...

  • kashish23468629 kashish Devnani (@kashish23468629) reported

    @IGClientHelp I cannot log in to my account, I have been trying to log in since yesterday and all it shows is “error please wait for some time and try again” it isn’t even verifying my email now! Please help!

  • aman0981 Aman (@aman0981) reported

    Over 1 hour waiting for you to answer phones @IGClientHelp #FridayThoughts #fridaycomplaints this is why I want to withdraw my money, you guys are rubbish. No one should use IG to trade. Newer brokers are much better, better service, better interfaces, better analysis tools

  • buy_buy_bye teaboy (@buy_buy_bye) reported

    @RichieKennett Embarrassing. They can’t even get the core offering right. Service at @IGcom has put @HLInvest to shame.

  • MalinBillinghu2 Malin Billinghurst (@MalinBillinghu2) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi, I am having problems logging into my account, when I out in my username and password it flashes my screen with a "something went wrong message". I have reset my password and it still did not fix the issue

  • MZIE3D Stos (@MZIE3D) reported

    @IGcom what will it take to get a response? Your customer service is non existent. I’ve tried emailing, calling, live chats, now Twitter. WTF man!!

  • N1ckC NC (@N1ckC) reported

    @IGClientHelp hi, trying to get through on your phone line since 7am this morning, is there any other way to do live chat to resolve an account issue plse?

  • devkamalth Anton Devkamalth (@devkamalth) reported

    @IGClientHelp I opened an IG account yesterday. I am really disappointed with the telephone and chat service, I have been waiting for more than one hour to get an answer. Email response is also more than 3 days

  • MalinBillinghu2 Malin Billinghurst (@MalinBillinghu2) reported

    @IGClientHelp can you help me?

  • bomygandhi bo-dhi (@bomygandhi) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom waiting on phone for 30 minutes already and no one answers, chat service is answered by same persons who never resolve issues... can someone call me ? Or has IG given up on serving the clients altogether ?

  • fergulike Paul Ferguson (@fergulike) reported

    @IGClientHelp Are you going to help or not??

  • David85365939 David (@David85365939) reported

    @IGClientHelp ive got a major issue with my account. Your live help doesn’t work, I never get a response from your ‘help’ email, and nobody picks up your phone line. Any suggestions on how to get some action on this?

  • fergulike Paul Ferguson (@fergulike) reported

    @IGClientHelp you have zero interest in customer service, you are an absolute disgrace. Do you even know what manners mean?

  • Yyamnad Daniel (@Yyamnad) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGClientHelp Your customer service has reached an all-time low. I've spent 30 minutes on hold each day last week and given up each time.

  • fergulike Paul Ferguson (@fergulike) reported

    @IGClientHelp I was told to "check my dashboard". I don't know what they are talking about. I asked what they meant and just ignored me. As an existing customer this "assistance" is non-existent.

  • shirodystore Shirody (@shirodystore) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi, I've submitted my proof of ID & proof of bank, it already says "Thank you we've verified your identity" and "...proof of bank" but it's been a month and my CFD account is still pending. Can you help? The account ID is STPLB.

  • Shanna65180032 Shanna (@Shanna65180032) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi I can’t login to my account. It says I must phone but the office is closed. Please let me know what I should do urgently

  • aman0981 Aman (@aman0981) reported

    @IGClientHelp It’s just unacceptable, 1hour 27minutes to get someone to answer the phone. This is one of the reasons I switched to another broker,the service levels are terrible. My query was sorted. I suggest that IG just hire more people to answer the phones it’s not fair on the ones working

  • IceUnable ice_unable (@IceUnable) reported

    @IGClientHelp Currently in a call for 54 minutes to speak to an advisor. Is this the level of your customer support in 2021? Why are you falsely claim 24/7 support?

  • gazzad1 GazzaD (@gazzad1) reported

    @IGcom anybody managing your support lines today? Been holding for over 20 minutes already....

  • munarettomatteo Matteo Munaretto (@munarettomatteo) reported

    @IGClientHelp Thanks but in that page I got the following error: “We cannot offer this service online. Please contact the trading desk.”

  • MarkBCars Mark (@MarkBCars) reported

    Hi, still no view of shares. @PrimaryBid @IGClientHelp help please

  • s_wiffen stewart wiffen (@s_wiffen) reported

    @IGClientHelp can you help please. I have a demo MT4 account and want to know if I download the IG app.. Can I follow my account through the app on my phone.

  • Pellyiss Barry evans (@Pellyiss) reported

    @gregsecker @IGcom @JuneFelix I had the same problem terrible CS

  • ediekollling Edie (💁🏼‍♀️🤑) (@ediekollling) reported

    @IGClientHelp Your website states 1 business day for a wire. Might want to update that. Not sure why it takes that long since you get the money same day. Also, I called 3 times yesterday. Was on hold for 25 min each time then disconnected. Your system is clearly broken.

  • nuzhat30668111 nuzhat (@nuzhat30668111) reported

    @IGClientHelp been trying to reach your support tram@fir 2 days straight via online chat and phone for a combined 4 hours. With no response to even getting through to anybody !! Email was very unhelpful.

  • bomygandhi bo-dhi (@bomygandhi) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGHelp is there any real human help available at IG ? I have been trying to resolve issues last 2 months and been wasting time on chats which support staff end without resolution and never email back. There is no 'save script' option either. #PoorService

  • tweetinglaurie Laurie (he/him) (@tweetinglaurie) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hello, I hope you're well. I’d be grateful for your help please: I've just spent 18 mins on hold, after which my call was disconnected, and Live Chat seems to be unmanned. Do you have anyone working in customer service? If so, how can I reach them? Thank you.
