    @etrade when I log on, the top section of my account is blank. there is no logoff, complete view, transfer funds or any other option, its just my portfolio and thats it. im current on hold for the past 20 mins. is there a problem with your site?

  • LegacyofaPhoen1 LegacyofaPhoenix (@LegacyofaPhoen1) reported

    @etrade If I've payed my tuition, not broken any campus rules, not been convicted of any crimes, and am maintaining an academic standard, does the University have a legal right to expel me because other students don't like me? I'd say I'd have a very winnable lawsuit.

  • thundt Tom Hundt (@thundt) reported

    @etrade System problems? Can't login. Can't reset password (and it speaks it way too fast). Password includes numbers, are we supposed to type them out longhand? Hyphens? All caps? 30 minute wait time to get a human....?! TTYT, I guess

  • lilithellfires lils. (@lilithellfires) reported

    @etrade why is live chat with us unavailable ? I've been trying to reach you guys for a month now ; and it's not working

  • built2000 TroyBuilt2000 (@built2000) reported

    @FINRA Do you have specific companies already labeled? I can think of a broker (@etrade) that does terrible in regards to transparency and communication with their clients. #etrade

  • Jcazz17 Joe Cazz (@Jcazz17) reported

    Anyone having an issue with @etrade saying your “Price Paid” is a lot higher then what you bought it at yesterday.??? Have 2-3 tickers showing my “price paid” almost a dollar higher then what i bought it at yesterday

  • McCurdy316 Circuit Trouble (@McCurdy316) reported

    @etrade hope all is well - been trying to get help on being unable to select wire account via desktop for international account for last 4 hours. E Trade assistants have been unable to help due to high inquiry volumes . Please advise if possible on who else to contact. 🙏🏽

  • adarsh227 Adarsh Jain (@adarsh227) reported

    @etrade My account is not working. No help either. Customer service is terrible. Kept me on hold for over 2 hours My accounts are completely scrambled. What should I do? Has etrade gone to the dogs?

  • _iBrandon__ Brandon Michael (@_iBrandon__) reported

    @thundt @etrade Been locked out of my account for over a month. Anytime I call for help it’s a 90+ minute wait time. Completely outrageous. Worse than a cable company.

  • TheJenCarey Jennifer Carey (@TheJenCarey) reported

    @etrade There's an issue with my account and the wait time to talk to a representative is 2+ hours?!

  • SamKnows7 TAB78 (@SamKnows7) reported

    @etrade @Phred_Bear And spend hrs on ignore, etrade is awful

  • ash_looby Aisling (@ash_looby) reported from Fingal County, Leinster

    @etrade 6 times I contacted support in >2mnths, waiting over 45mins to speak to someone (calling from EU so VERY expensive). Twice I’ve been told a tech support agent would call me back,they have not. I am missing the deadline for my companies ESPP today..someone needs to DM me

  • seives10019 Summer Ives (@seives10019) reported

    @etrade Live chat is down and it’s a two hour wait time on your customer service line, which is wholly impossible, not to mention, the exact opposite of customer service. How does one actually contact you?

  • crnalocum1 crnalocum (@crnalocum1) reported

    @etrade worst customer service. Shouldn’t take 4 hours to get anyone on the phone. “Management” guaranteed my actions would be done in the following week. Still hasn’t been done and could have cost me a house! This has got to be the worst company in financial services!

  • kukap_ MK (@kukap_) reported

    @investvoyager @etrade 3/ @Ehrls15 - dumping VGX & Voyager Stocks from my portfolio. At first opportunity. ‘ll move out of Voyager completely. If this issue is not resolved in 24 hours. Never to return to Voyager . The support team sucks, they respond with generic email. This is insane. Check 1 & 2.

  • somebronxbitch SomeBronxBitch (@somebronxbitch) reported

    @etrade took my money and now I can’t login to my account

  • crnalocum1 crnalocum (@crnalocum1) reported

    @etrade WTH is wrong with your company… maybe the CEO should spend 60 hours and 7 months trying to get one thing done. Make sure you avoid ETrade if you value basic service and attention to detail.

  • GamesofMy Mannpreet Singh (@GamesofMy) reported

    @etrade Hi ETrade, how to contact to support team from India? Tried to connect on number given on site but it’s not proceeding ahead to IVR, chat support also showing waiting period more than 2 hours. Kindly help.

  • MrGDiaz G (@MrGDiaz) reported

    @etrade what is going on with your phone system? I was on hold for over an hour and then it just hung up on. Called back and now wait time is 90 minutes! Live chat option on website is not working. I need help.

  • Westyrangerfan Jason West (@Westyrangerfan) reported

    @hi5lefty90 @Jcazz17 @etrade If you sold it on the way down then bought again lower...it is apparently a “wash loss”.

  • oziekoya Trust wallet official (@oziekoya) reported

    @etrade Hello! Sorry for the inconvenience, this is Trust Wallet Support team. We apologize for any inconvenience. Kindly send a direct message for all enquiry and to resolve any issue you’re experiencing. Thanks

  • bjverzal I tweet random things. Vaxed and boosted. (@bjverzal) reported

    Really @etrade ? I call for help and I’m asked to enter my online password. Quick nope on that. Oh … then I’m told I have a 90 minute estimated wait time ?

  • PulpMyFiction Dijana (@PulpMyFiction) reported

    2 hour customer service wait time @etrade ?? 😤

  • Phred_Bear Phred Bear (@Phred_Bear) reported

    @etrade working on fixing your junk app?? your still hiding data on the trade page of the app. ? why you hide data?? get the trade size back on the trade page! #etradejunk and fix the junk L2 while your at it!

  • bjverzal I tweet random things. Vaxed and boosted. (@bjverzal) reported

    Hello @etrade … knock knock. I just called again. 60 minute wait time. Are you all ok over there? What time should I call where wait time is less than an 30 minutes (even that’s terrible … but we must lower the bar somewhere)

  • ExpertCruiser Anita Dunham-Potter (@ExpertCruiser) reported

    @etrade Please answer your customer service phones! Five hours on hold via various calls is unacceptable. We have been customers for over 20 years - we are probably leaving after this mess.

  • Le64131 Le (@Le64131) reported

    @etrade you customer service sucks.

  • Financi34544151 MHL (@Financi34544151) reported

    @etrade Worst trading platform in the industry...

  • therealpeter_c Peter Mikhal Coleman (@therealpeter_c) reported

    The only way to provide customer service to yourself @etrade is to start a new account because they never answer the phones. On hold 3 hours and fell asleep. Don’t know why they went away from the messaging system for most services. Terrible decision.
