    @IGcom I can't login to my IG account since I am in Indonesia 4 days ago. May I know if I am not supposed to be able to login while I am here or is it just a coincidence? 🙏

  • michiel_boshoff Michiel Boshoff (@michiel_boshoff) reported

    @IGcom Zamar Faria at IG South Africa give terrible service to his clients!!

  • anti_matter_jr x (@anti_matter_jr) reported

    @IGcom issues on us operation, guidance lowered

  • thewinelake Alex (@thewinelake) reported

    @TomCullingham @IGcom I think underlying these problems is almost a contempt for the customer - a lack of willingness for those that know about these things to talk to the affected customers. So I was trying to close positions that they'd opened, and they'd close positions I'd opened.

  • JamesFaulds James Faulds (@JamesFaulds) reported

    @IGcom I can’t access my trading history beyond 90 days as the button for Custom setting isn’t working. Tried different devices without success. Can you help, please?

  • thewinelake Alex (@thewinelake) reported

    @TomCullingham @IGcom Their response to my "stop messing" was to ignore me, and to my complaint was a right old mouthful of feathers. I've now moved to Spreadex. Although their spreads are wider, their web interface is better (eg. you can see how much margin is associated with which position).

  • eddy_tedster Eddy edster (@eddy_tedster) reported

    @IGClientHelp Please be aware the problem still exists over 6 months later and I even raised the issue with the help desk and got an incident number INC0681847 last month. How long can it take to fix?? #HBR not #PMO

  • Lib_Capital LiberationCapital (@Lib_Capital) reported

    @IGcom worst customer service on so many levels. Clueless.

  • Stephen77553489 Stephen (@Stephen77553489) reported

    @IGClientHelp No problem. I have messaged you.

  • SellarsIan Ian Sellars (@SellarsIan) reported

    @IGClientHelp sent support message yesterday at 4pm still no response

  • MarginTraderTom Spread Betting & CFD Victim (@MarginTraderTom) reported

    @fletch000007 @IGSquawk @IGClientHelp This was really bad and wasn't even the worst thing they did that year

  • Incogni24145349 Incognitus (@Incogni24145349) reported

    @IGClientHelp I have been trying to get a hold of you for more than 15 days now. I've sent several emails without getting a response from You. Your customer service is horrible!

  • KosiKwee Kosi M Kwee (@KosiKwee) reported

  • SelimmGursoyyy Selim Gursoy (@SelimmGursoyyy) reported

    @PriapusIQ @IGcom Then UK could have a problem with Putin...

  • thewinelake Alex (@thewinelake) reported

    @TomCullingham @IGcom I wondered about that! No, it was some bad data that screwed their systems for a bit. Unfortunately it exposed their utterly useless customer services and technical teams. So my positions were screwed around with for several hours. So lucky it was a quiet day, but I'm off.

  • PawelG_Ldn PawelG (@PawelG_Ldn) reported

    @IGcom @IGSquawk @JeremyNaylor_IG Heavy push into 2023 due to low inflation data and then energy prices killing everything causing a crash. Completely opposite view.

  • Random_X_Human Sam Sung (@Random_X_Human) reported

    @PriapusIQ @IGcom @JeremyNaylor_IG Inflation didn’t fall. The yearly rate of inflation is down but inflation is up 0.4% on the month!

  • EquityInvestme2 Equity Investments (@EquityInvestme2) reported

    @PriapusIQ Very interesting, if thats the case I'll go to court and use this case law against @IGcom when their platform regularly goes down and happily passes the buck.

  • GaryNTrader Gary Newman (@GaryNTrader) reported

    @EquityInvestme2 @IGcom It wasn’t even a glitch like that, just completely unrelated amounts to what should have been there.

  • CarrotorStick Paul D (@CarrotorStick) reported

    @IGcom Having spoken to the woeful customer service call centre, I can see why. Shame really as the stores are really helpful.

  • simonhi54058807 simon hill (@simonhi54058807) reported

    @deekoo92 @PriapusIQ @IGcom Not exactly the same, they have had various types of support from the German govt. some in credit lines, some pure debt. It has hammered their credit rating though making everything they hedge (fuel, currency) + aircraft leasing far more expensive. Great long term move…

  • WiliWhitelaw Wili Whitelaw (@WiliWhitelaw) reported

    @IGcom Error in first line? 2022 surely

  • thewinelake Alex (@thewinelake) reported

    @TomCullingham @IGcom Trouble was they did just that, but twice! Then I closed the extra position and they also closed it afterwards, but that ended up as a short position! Just a right old mess and a big waste of time. If there was loss it would be <£100

  • Teenanto Anto N (@Teenanto) reported

    @DonPabby_93 True @IGcom are rubbish at that. Hope they can fix their lazy bots. 🤖

  • simonhi54058807 simon hill (@simonhi54058807) reported

    @deekoo92 @PriapusIQ @IGcom Debt is the worst thing for a travel company and an airline. It’s a sensible move, just crap for shareholders.

  • VinsDeF Vins Def (@VinsDeF) reported

    Hey @IGcom, how cool would it be to automate trades with @Capitalise_ai? Any way to support them? #Code_Free_Trading_Automation

  • AlpineDubliner Alpine (@AlpineDubliner) reported

    @LSDinmycoffee @tradingview @IGcom It's be great though no doubt . I used another CFDs broker in TV, and found the execution laggy: Not sure if it was a UI or execution issue

  • deekoo92 Derek Mawhınney (@deekoo92) reported

    @simonhi54058807 @PriapusIQ @IGcom Ah sorry Simon I read this almost like they were paying back the furlough money etc as in that type of government support , is this like the Cbils type loan these companies would have taken ?
