  • foxy_huang Li Li Huang (@foxy_huang) reported

    @IGcom Your system is not working and customer service cuts me off! Can someone please respond????

  • mimifontaine Mimi Fontaine (@mimifontaine) reported

    @IGClientHelp Down once again. Can't see my positions. Can't trade. Can't even see my watchlist.

  • trelawney89 Trelawney (@trelawney89) reported

    @IGcom Yet again your platform is down. This is the third time this week. Can you fix this urgently please?

  • jonnywillamson jonnywillamson (@jonnywillamson) reported

    @IGClientHelp IG Platform very unreliable - down five times this week alone - search for a better broker I would say.

  • KrasimirBPetrov Krasimir Petrov (@KrasimirBPetrov) reported

    @milbshake @IGClientHelp This is how they seem to deal with the hassle to provide liquidity for thei positions their customers open. So instead to shut down specific stocks, they decide to “technically” forfeit their services for the sake of not making some hedge funds angry. Pathetic.

  • ivorkovic Ivor Kovic (@ivorkovic) reported

    @IGcom App is down, web is down. Terrible. I have zero control over my stocks/money at the moment. Even more terrifying to see now that others have been reporting this for days. You need to fix this NOW.

  • ESInvesting Elite Soldier (@ESInvesting) reported

    @IGcom GET YOUR ******* SERVER ONLINE RIGHT NOW! WILL NEVER USE YOU AGAIN YOURE LOSING ME CASH COULDNT LET ME BUY YOURE JUSR LIKE ROBIN HOOD GO **** YOURSELVES

  • timpav7 Tim (@timpav7) reported

    @IGcom do you have mice running your systems. Every day same time app and desktop goes down. Costing money everyday this week. Completely unacceptable

  • Smildone56 WillH (@Smildone56) reported

    @IGClientHelp Hi, your server is struggling now for the 3rd day in a row at the US open. I haven’t been able to get into my SB or ISA account with you for 30 minutes. What are you doing to resolved those?

  • thewinelake Alex (@thewinelake) reported

    @IGClientHelp Do we think this might be a DDoS rather than bad platform design?

  • ctbuk73 a (@ctbuk73) reported

    @IGcom Probably the biggest trading day for retail traders ever and you close your platform down and stop us getting access to our own money. Disgraceful.

  • HellishTrader HellishTrevTrader (@HellishTrader) reported

    @IGClientHelp are you aware your platform is down ??? I’ve been on hold to the phone line for 15 mins now 😡😡😡

  • Andmk75 Andrew 75 (@Andmk75) reported

    @IGcom Really bad customer service: Your phone line gives a dead tone instead of working, status says everything is all OK when in fact platform is down. For one of the biggest players, your platform consistently can't handle volatility.

  • jas251068 Jason Nicholls (@jas251068) reported

    @IGClientHelp No issues are sorted out you usless bunch of clowns

  • jas251068 Jason Nicholls (@jas251068) reported

    @IGcom Website down again , what a dreadful , shambolic outfit you lot are. I sincerely hope you have your operating license revoked.

  • S_Dezigns Sami Mansour (@S_Dezigns) reported

    @IGClientHelp @milbshake @IGClientHelp That is not right. Your system is still down and we can't log into our accounts.

  • PITT21156447 PITT (@PITT21156447) reported

    @IGClientHelp IG screwing us normal folk again by helping out the big hedge funds, taken the system down again today and they still dont care on impact. I hope someone does take legal action here as this is unacceptable and should be considered illegal.

  • VikasKansra Vikas Kansra (@VikasKansra) reported

    @IGClientHelp I cant login my account

  • lukemfoster Luke Foster (@lukemfoster) reported

    @IGcom Smart thinking.... if your system is down people can't buy gamestop/AMC ... you managed through the whole pandemic... but when hedge funds and rich c***s money is at stake your system magically ***** up.

  • cttricky Richard J Farrell (@cttricky) reported

  • dan_brooksbank dan brooksbank (@dan_brooksbank) reported

    @IGClientHelp, I see no tweets in your feed about todays shambles. Still down

  • jack_r_m Jack (@jack_r_m) reported

    @IGClientHelp And you don’t even bother to dignify your customers will a Tweet explaining there’s a problem. Pathetic.

  • Tom_Bedford TOM BEDFORD (@Tom_Bedford) reported

    @RichTheNewbie @IGcom Same issue. Very annoying of late.

  • saburmo Mohammed Sabur (@saburmo) reported

    @IGClientHelp I've been getting a Service Connection Failure for the past 15 to 20 minutes. This is the third time it's happened in past 3 days. Get your act together because you're looking like amateurs. I could be forced to use another platform.
