    @IGClientHelp been on hold on the phone for over 1 hour. This is really bad compared to an average wait time of a few minutes for many other brokers As you're one of the largest brokers in the world, why is this the case?

    @DavidBurton1971 @DDS_DocHoliday @IGClientHelp The issue may be people mis understanding and selling PHYISICAL shares thinking their share will crash and they can buy back lower. That may have an impact if enough people think that.

    @milbshake @IGClientHelp Agreed, this, combined with the constant outages and poor customer support is why I’m changing to a competitor. I think @IGcom have become complacent.

    @MBdaytrading @WShak1 @IGcom I can tell you I told them exactly what I think. It’s bloody sharp practise, at best. The worst is I know some had this list LAST WEEK, giving obvious advantage.

    @CarlosLpzC @IGcom Not sure what stocks you hold but for me, I have to find Β£4500 or close my open #EUA long and lose out what I am already down.

  • stocksandshare3
    stocksandsharesinvestingclub (@stocksandshare3) reported

    IG error message "Max consideration in excess of maximum allowed on your account" when trying to place trade. Missing opportunities due to this. No info as too what max consideration is and nobody answering telephone. Know a better provider I can transfer ISA too? @IGClientHelp

    @CoinDesk @IGcom @Tanzeel_Akhtar ”...after the financial regulator said it considers the products to be too high risk for retail consumers.” Yeah but allow casinos, no problem there... the hypocrisy know no bounds... tbh, Im sick and tired of this BS.

  • WBInvesting
    Outlander (@WBInvesting) reported

    @IGClientHelp @ProRealTime , Is there any issue with Data after 0245 GMT? There was data missing on indices between 0245 and 0345 yesterday and today it is showing as spike around 0300 GMT. However I don't see anything like this on TradingView so issue sees to be localised.

    @IGClientHelp - IG must have the worst trading platform and customer service. Traders, avoid IG!!!

    @IGClientHelp You have the most appalling customer service. No point sending you a D.M, that won't change anything.

    I Know Nooothing (@IknowNooothing) reported

    @IGClientHelp please can I raise a formal complaint. It appears the changes to your spreadbetting were leaked at the weekend and are being weaponised by Shareprophets who have boasted about insider information previously. I believe this is serious to warrant FCA notification

  • GuiThebault
    Gu (@GuiThebault) reported

    @IGClientHelp Thanks, there is no problem of having payed in another stock and share ISA elsewhere in the same tax year? It's empty now

  • ITWT10
    ITWT (@ITWT10) reported

    @CarlosLpzC @IGcom But to answer your question, I think stocks in the listed PDF will be completely closed on 26th March. And, said stocks will see a margin increase by 100% from 3pm Friday. Just hope we see some positive movement with #EUA before that time! Reach out to their support though!
