IG threatening to close my account after botched transfer process


helpingout

Question

I spent 1 hr and 45 minutes on the phone last Friday (1 hr 30 mins waiting for them to answer).

A manager was supposed to call me back - they know my issue is urgent - but they haven't called me back yet (Monday night).

The problem is that IG transferred their customer transfer process to another company, and that company - or IG itself - has botched my transfer from IG UK to IG Europe (to comply with the post-Brexit landscape).

IG are now threatening to close my positions and to close my spread betting account, as they say my account was not transferred by their deadline.

I have positions in this account which I paid hundreds of pounds in spread to initiate. I do not consent to IG closing these positions.

If IG insists on closing them, I will consider my legal options and seek compensation for the losses incurred as a result of their own faulty procedures.

Advice from fellow customers would be appreciated - what would you suggest that I do?

It would be even better if someone at IG would take responsibility for this problem urgently, and get my transfer to IG Europe done immediately, without closing any of my positions. Otherwise, they can look forward to a complaints and compensation procedure from me.

    • that's the plan, but I see it as a slow process
    • US dollar on bearish path, USD/JPY tests support, USD/CAD eyes rebound, and AUD/USD faces overbought challenges.   Source: Bloomberg   Forex Shares United States dollar Market trend USD/CAD AUD/USD    Diego Colman | Market Analyst, New York | Publication date: Thursday 30 November 2023 06:54 USD/JPY technical analysis USD/JPY (大口) has been on a major bullish run since the beginning of the year, it has trended lower in recent days following several unsuccessful attempts at clearing overhead resistance in the 152.00 region. After the latest pullback, which has been accelerated by falling US yields, the pair has arrived at the doorsteps of an important floor near 147.25. The integrity of this technical area is vital; failure to maintain it could trigger a drop towards channel support at 146.00. On further weakness, attention shifts to 144.50. In the event of a bullish turnaround, the first obstacle that could hinder upside progress appears at 149.70. Overcoming this resistance level might prove challenging for the bulls, yet doing so could spark a rally towards 150.90, possibly followed by a retest of this year's high. USD/JPY price action chart   Source: TradingView USD/CAD technical analysis USD/CAD has also corrected lower this month, but it has started to perk up after encountering support near 1.3570-1.3555, where the 100-day simple moving average converges with a short-term rising trendline. Maintaining this floor will bring stability to the pair, and may create the right conditions for a rebound toward 1.3630. Further strength could redirect focus towards the 1.3700 handle. On the other hand, if USD/CAD resumes its descent and breaks below cluster support stretching from 1.3570 to 1.3555, we may see a drop towards the 200-day simple moving average, just above the psychological 1.3500 mark. Prices could gain a foothold in this area on a pullback, but in the event of a breakdown, a move towards 1.3400 seems very possible. USD/CAD price action chart   Source: TradingView AUD/USD technical analysis The downturn in the broader US dollar has benefited the Aussie significantly in recent weeks. For instance, AUD/USD has staged a solid rally in November, briefly touching its strongest level since early August during the overnight session. While AUD/USD retains a constructive short-term bias, solidifying confidence in the bullish outlook requires a decisive move above trendline resistance at 0.6675. Given the pair’s overbought conditions in recent days, this scenario may take some time to develop, but an abrupt and unexpected breakout could still propel the exchange rate towards the 0.6800 handle. Conversely, if upward pressure fades and sellers regain decisive control of the market, primary support rests at 0.6620/0.6600 and then 0.6580, near the 200-day simple moving average. On further weakness, we could see a retrenchment towards 0.6525.
