  • GuiThebault Gu (@GuiThebault) reported

    @IGClientHelp Thanks, there is no problem of having payed in another stock and share ISA elsewhere in the same tax year? It's empty now

  • stocksandshare3 stocksandsharesinvestingclub (@stocksandshare3) reported

    IG error message "Max consideration in excess of maximum allowed on your account" when trying to place trade. Missing opportunities due to this. No info as too what max consideration is and nobody answering telephone. Know a better provider I can transfer ISA too? @IGClientHelp

  • BabblerBestBets 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐬 (@BabblerBestBets) reported

    @DavidBurton1971 @DDS_DocHoliday @IGClientHelp The issue may be people mis understanding and selling PHYISICAL shares thinking their share will crash and they can buy back lower. That may have an impact if enough people think that.

  • AmandaZ35514466 Amanda Zhang (@AmandaZ35514466) reported

    @IGcom Hello ! I am Amanda from China. Your trademark rejected by CNIPA. It must file review within 15 days since you got the rejected notification, . We can help to overcome it . No.1556071- IG

  • M4Roberts MartinRoberts (@M4Roberts) reported

    @IGClientHelp So, what you are saying is I can only close my current position but can’t add to it!! Surely this is restrictive practice? Why could I open a position initially? The issues with @IGcom as a platform keep mounting up!

  • MBdaytrading MBTrading (@MBdaytrading) reported

    @richmoi222 @WShak1 It’s shocking by @IGcom - platform goes down during heavy volume days and now this ! Disgusting

  • DCAEP DCAEP DCAEP (@DCAEP) reported

    @Trading212 @eToro @IGClientHelp Of the 3 companies, IG is the only one that goes down keep going "Down" and unable to LOGIN. Etoro and Trading212 conversely are NOT reliable at all. #ETORO #TRADING212 #IG

  • FtseSpecialist William (@FtseSpecialist) reported

    @IGClientHelp Well I spent 30 mins on to customer service and few hrs trying to fix. They said somebody from pro realtime would call me if I did a report. Still no call. I’m sure it can be changed if you know how but I dont. I’m not a happy IG customer over this

  • sosisticated Matthew Smith (@sosisticated) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi! Trying to upload documents for account activation. Error message: "Sorry, we"re having technical issues. Unfortunately, we can"t finish processing your application at the moment." Am I doing something wrong? Or any idea on how long until the issue is resolved?

  • GaryNTrader Gary Newman (@GaryNTrader) reported

    @Lol_Yiddo @IGClientHelp Doesn’t really affect me either - I just think it is a terrible way to run a business if you don’t inform all clients at the same time when it comes to a change like this

  • steeve_inv Steeve S (@steeve_inv) reported

    @Tazamurghi @IGClientHelp They're broken. Imagine, I can't trade SP500 or Gold/Oil.

  • steeve_inv Steeve S (@steeve_inv) reported

    @IGClientHelp @IGcom Why are major markets shown as closed? $SPX $OIL $GOLD $GBPEUR Anyone else having issues?

  • nick_heap Nick Heap (@nick_heap) reported

    @JohnMcG59249309 @SpacsTon @IGClientHelp On the basis they supposedly operate a hedged business model and having regard to the level of liquidity that is available on the mainstream SPACS I don't see what the problem is. Hopefully they get it sorted asap!

  • fletch000007 Fletch (@fletch000007) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Also “offer a low return”? So you’re saying as you don’t make huge profits on these, only some profits, you’re just not bothered about continuing the service for people with existing positions?

  • Knejben Knejben (@Knejben) reported

    @CoinDesk @IGcom @Tanzeel_Akhtar ”...after the financial regulator said it considers the products to be too high risk for retail consumers.” Yeah but allow casinos, no problem there... the hypocrisy know no bounds... tbh, Im sick and tired of this BS.

  • stephen62285111 stephen hill (@stephen62285111) reported

    @IGClientHelp cannot log into my account, know my username and when reset my password and try to log in tells me to contact customer support and nobody answers the phone......

  • MrLarus Larus (@MrLarus) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Jessestone1st If only your client web and phone service was as prompt as your social media service

  • Tradethetrendco Tradethetrend (@Tradethetrendco) reported

    @IGClientHelp why is my dax 1 min chart been removed in the middle with no candle sticks being shown and missing about 4hrs of data? Yet more technical problems??

  • fletch000007 Fletch (@fletch000007) reported

    @SLowie100 @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Yep, agreed and no great issue with that. I understand wanting to maximise the profitability of the business of course. Step 1) stop taking new positions on certain stocks - they seem to have done this. Step 2) let your customers know that you wish to withdraw from this game 1/2

  • Prick4aTick George (@Prick4aTick) reported

    @IGClientHelp can you please respond to my DM. Need an issue resolving

  • Tazamurghi Rashid (@Tazamurghi) reported

    @IGClientHelp What do you mean broken?

  • IknowNooothing I Know Nooothing (@IknowNooothing) reported

    @IGClientHelp please can I raise a formal complaint. It appears the changes to your spreadbetting were leaked at the weekend and are being weaponised by Shareprophets who have boasted about insider information previously. I believe this is serious to warrant FCA notification

  • Fafaservices MedSupply (@Fafaservices) reported

    @IGcom @ST_Business Hi CEO, I have started with IG since Jan 20211 and experienced IG platform down and was unable to close deals. Although raised to IG, the issue hasn't been resolved.

  • vmohatta Vaibhav (@vmohatta) reported

    @IGClientHelp you need to increase your allocation for crypto...advance notice should have been given before just closing down purchases

  • Woodysue gin&tonic (@Woodysue) reported

    Well finally got the official confirmation from @IGSquawk @IGClientHelp by email of the list of co's they're ceasing trading on ..bit late, bad form ,offering to trade in share dealing ac with them though...I don't think so..

  • lincartbrooks Dean Brooks (@lincartbrooks) reported

    @wheeliedealer @GrindertraderUK @IGcom Maybe on one of their life support machines.

  • GaryNTrader Gary Newman (@GaryNTrader) reported

    @Sierra117_Jon @ChrisyShields @IGcom Sounds like they’re reducing the stocks that they let people trade via CFDs and SBs on a permanent basis though, rather than this just being something temporary. Maybe they’re worried about the level of long risk if the markets were to crash

  • eddiedavis2707 Eddie (@eddiedavis2707) reported

    @ChrisyShields @Sierra117_Jon @IGcom Couldn’t agree more absolutely outrageous decision! Take EUA for example as if you would wanna close down here 😳

  • DeedSpaceSimian Space Simian (@DeedSpaceSimian) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Low return for you, high return for us the traders. You are just removing all the stocks that go up and keeping all the stocks that go down.

  • Rosskirwan1 Ross Kirwan (@Rosskirwan1) reported

    @IGClientHelp @Toro_AIM Two days for clients to adjust their portfolios is bad, and could do irreversible damage to your company brand IG. Stop all the speculation and come out with your intentions @IGClientHelp
