    @gazra10 @IGClientHelp Wouldn't mind if if was a level playing Field and you couldn't trade either way, The stock will only go one way if sell only. So once the stock goes down they will happily let you close your account. Can see a court date ahead.

    @SilentNinjaDude @sharesearch_ I consolidated select ones into one SIP with @IGClientHelp - took ages (not IG's fault, but the incumbent Pension Administrators have a very slow process).

  • PunjabiJams Punjabi Jams (@PunjabiJams) reported

    @IGClientHelp I have spent hours waiting on the phone, no email and social media response think you could do with some investment into customer service as this is ridiculous

    @IGClientHelp Sorry - I can’t get through to your help desk - I don’t have hours to wait on the phone I’m afraid - can you help?

  • peterdeugenio peter deugenio (@peterdeugenio) reported

    @IGClientHelp i've been on hold for over 30mins to find out why you transferred my funds to the wrong currency account. Your live chat feature is a total waste of time and I'm wondering why your service is so hopeless for the amount of money I have onboard?

  • BucklerFern El Fern (Taking the P*ss) (@BucklerFern) reported

    Either that, or IG is having some 'issues' that are unclear. Something is not adding up here. @IGClientHelp @IGSquawk

  • Zubairssss Zubair (@Zubairssss) reported

    @IGClientHelp Extremely unimpressed by the quality of service I've received the last two weeks. Days to get a reply and from someone who didn't even read my query properly. And I'm being asked if the problem persists?

  • anandhinagaraj AnnRaj (@anandhinagaraj) reported

    @IGClientHelp have been trying to discuss about the new margin requirements for plus 500 since Monday without success. can you help pl

  • zdok kje - FREE ASSANGE NOW🍎 (@zdok) reported

    @IGClientHelp No. It's not something unique to me. It applies to all of your clients with long-dated spreadbets on the list of stocks for which positions will be closed on March 29. IG needs to publish its policy for resolving this problem. It's not rocket science.

  • baek_taehyun Taehyun Baek (@baek_taehyun) reported
