    @IGClientHelp When are the Trade Analytics returning? I contacted live chat help the other day and told it was being fixed. Still broken.

  • Finumus1 Finumus (@Finumus1) reported

    @dandodex @ii_couk @IGcom Yeah, it's the not knowing WTF is going on that's annoying. This is a 6-figure sum out of the market while I wait. The 5-day expected reply time on messages is just insanely **** - what are they thinking?

  • morris1_k Eileen Morris (@morris1_k) reported

    @ft_content @IGcom Only until they learn about vitamin B12 dificiency and that supplements are not the solution. As for climate change cattle etc have the same neutral effect as humans

  • bibbleearthling Corton Charlemagne (@bibbleearthling) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi yes I am very experienced with this. But the rate of these messages across the day I sent the message was very high and wanted to know what the issue is/was.

  • teamkaychay Kwesi (@teamkaychay) reported

    @IGClientHelp @tradethetrend13 I have registered IG since June 16th and my accounts is not activated since then. I have been sending emails, called the office in London, Australia and for the South African office nobody picks up calls. Lines are always busy. Is there any problem?

  • PaulBai123 PJ 1 (@PaulBai123) reported

    Ig Index customer service is abysmal @IGClientHelp

  • inflexion inflexion (@inflexion) reported

    @IGcom has a ubiquitous presence in the financial press, spending significant sums on marketing. Their back office is however chaotic, slow and manifestly lacks basic competence. @JuneFelix

  • gezwjones geraint jones (Gez) (@gezwjones) reported

    @Finumus1 @IGcom 1.I guess its that stupid eu/fca regulation …you could probably buy if you have a US broker acct, but obv not an isa…this is the message onscreen from Hl when i typed tqqq

  • a_bkhan1 Basit Khan (@a_bkhan1) reported

    @IGcom can you advise why my account is set to closing only for the second time in the last few months. Your help desk is unable to assist

  • NeasdenParade London Hebrew ✡️ (@NeasdenParade) reported

    @ft_content @IGcom 5-10% would fix the American and European economies and cut out all the dead wood and zombie companies. Otherwise our inflation and depression will be permanent.

    @Ronniemarkets @JeremyNaylor_IG @IGcom Would you look at usdjpy. Damn.

  • ELastei Eddy Lastei (@ELastei) reported

    @IGcom You're delinquents, it's a problem that's been going on for a year and you've never come to fix it. It was the biggest mistake of my life buying from you. If you read this please write to me privately so I can tell you about all the problems I had with #peabody

  • MoulikNaik Moulik Naik (@MoulikNaik) reported

    @IGClientHelp Why is your CFD platform down?

  • azamk006 Azam Khan (@azamk006) reported

    @englandcricket @CarseBrydon @IGcom this has to be the worst 5 wicket hall i’ve ever seen. taking wickets in the last 3 overs against a worn out batsman and tail enders isn’t impressive at all. nevertheless congratulations

  • rumba5 Rumen Ivanov (@rumba5) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi -- your customer service is pathetic. You need to do better. That is all.

  • AimTerminator TerminatorAim (@AimTerminator) reported

    In this day & age I should be able to go online and buy or sell any stock of my choosing given I am paying a fee to do so. It’s a shame that some brokers namely @ii_couk & @IGcom have been so slow to move with the times. I will be advising friends and family to do similar as me.

  • elitegamer360 Bzerkermustdie.fx (@elitegamer360) reported

    @IGClientHelp what is going on with your MT4 connections. There was an outage when we couldn't open or close our trades. Plus it's back now but closed trades on MT4 is still running on your server! This is unacceptable for the largest trading company in the world

  • Finumus1 Finumus (@Finumus1) reported

    @CaffersXL @IGcom Yeah, thanks, I do hold those. There are a few issues, one is that they track the NET not the Gross index - which is a bit cheeky IMHO. They are swap based, so they are avoiding the *** withholding tax and keeping it.

  • winenfunblog Ian Wilson (@winenfunblog) reported

    @IGClientHelp Your call is important to us so we are just going to disconnect you...... customer service sucks...

  • BenJAJ20 Ben Jephcott 🔶♻️ (@BenJAJ20) reported

    @ft_content @IGcom A very unconvincing case by a spread betting company, does the FT need sponsorship from that quarter? No strong evidence that oil prices are headed anywhere but down over the medium and long term.

  • Bowen85AI AndY B (@Bowen85AI) reported

    @IGcom problems accepting payments across bank, card and PayPal. Need to put money in my account to stop a position closing. NICE ONE IG.

  • teamkaychay Kwesi (@teamkaychay) reported

    @IGClientHelp it’s been about 4 weeks since I complete the application procedure. And 1week since I complained here.what is the problem. Nobody has called or sent me an email since. If you don’t allow people from Ghana to trade let me know please. Thanks

  • buddhawilliams Paul Williams (@buddhawilliams) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi, My son is looking to start owning some shares, but I am having trouble finding a broker that will deal with a 13yo. Can't see any info on your site. Is it possible - or do I need to hold shares in trust for him?
