Lost ISA transfer


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have direct contact details for the IG ISA transfer team? 

I have an outstanding ISA transfer into IG from NS&I, this was requested 6-weeks ago. On the 25/02 my NS&I account was closed and funds were transferred to IG via a cross warrant in the post. I have confirmation of this transfer from NS&I but it was never received by IG.

I have emailed queries to transfers@ig.com on the 2nd March, 10th, 11th and 16th of March as well as having numerous telephone conversations with helpdesk and support. I have explained in fine detail that the transfer was sent in the post and has either been lost in the post or physically lost within IG. The replies I have received have amounted to "we haven't recieved it". Stating the obvious, I know!

As of last week, NS&i told me the cheque/cross-warrant had not been cashed. But they must receive a re-request, cancellation or other queries on it directly from IG. IG need to take action here. 

As a customer I am completely powerless in this.

I am having a similar problem. An isa transfer that the building society confirmed had been drawn by IG a month ago. IG say they can't find it and asked me to obtain proof from the building society.

I asked to escalate / complain but they say there is no way to do this other than the formal complaints process which can take up to 8 weeks.

Transfers take time and are inevitably frustrating.  It's the lack of action or an escalation process when funds go missing that knocks my confidence.

I'm in two minds whether to persist with the isa and maybe just keep IG for spread betting/CFDs.  The IG platform is so good compared to others, but I'm worried if I have a problem there is no one to sort it out.

Guess what guys?  I had identical problem going back 2 weeks.  IG insisted they had not received the funds from previous ISA provider.  IG contacted the previous provider thinking money had been transferred incorrectly.  But no it was IG's fault.  Literally hours spent on phone and writing emails.  One phone call took 1hr 25 to answer !   You must complain to Compliance who will no doubt see a pattern emerging.....

Mine was resolved recently.

Nationwide had made a mistake - IG hadn't cashed the cheque that was sent to them.  They were able to cancel the cheque and restore funds in my ISA so I could transfer this elsewhere.

Throughout IG customer service had been a nightmare - repeatedly web chat promised to come back to me by the end of the day, but never did so.  Putting the problem back to me to resolve.  Refusal to escalate.  On the phone they said they had just received the funds and will be credited to my account in 24 hours (untrue).

Knocked my confidence in IG enough to transfer elsewhere, which is a shame as the ISA product is perfect for me (flexible, £3, lowish fx), and there isn't really an equivalent elsewhere with these features.

I have a large spread bet position with them which I feel worried about now given what happens when there is a problem.

Good luck with yours!

Good luck WillB96!

I ended up being forward some correspondence between the transfer departments. IG had the cheque throughout, but didn't process it for a very long time.  My guess is a massive backlog but who knows.

Once I asked nationwide to cancel I had the money back very quickly and did a new transfer to my Barclays ISA that took about a week.

If I were you I'd cancel something taking that long without clear path to resolving.

    • Swiss Market Index Elliott Wave Analysis - Day Chart FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Corrective STRUCTURE: Gray Wave 2 POSITION: Orange Wave 3 NEXT HIGHER DEGREES: Gray Wave 3 DETAILS: Gray Wave 1 of Orange Wave 3 appears complete; Gray Wave 2 is in play. WAVE CANCEL INVALID LEVEL: 11130.21 The Swiss Market Index (SMI) Elliott Wave analysis on the day chart evaluates the market's trend using Elliott Wave Theory. This analysis identifies the trend function and classifies the current mode as corrective. A corrective mode suggests the market is in a phase of retracement or consolidation, counter to the primary trend direction. Market Structure The current market structure is identified as gray wave 2 within the larger sequence of orange wave 3. In Elliott Wave terminology, waves are labeled to reflect their position within the overall market cycle. Gray wave 2 indicates a correction following the completion of gray wave 1. Market Position The market is currently positioned within orange wave 3, indicating this wave is part of a larger cycle. Gray wave 2 is a sub-wave within this larger orange wave 3. The direction for the next higher degrees points to gray wave 3, which will follow the completion of the current gray wave 2. Gray wave 3 typically shows strong directional movement, often aligning with the primary trend. Observations Detailed observations highlight that gray wave 1 of orange wave 3 appears complete. This completion sets the stage for gray wave 2, which is now in play. Gray wave 2 represents a corrective phase that follows the impulsive movement of gray wave 1. This phase is crucial as it sets the foundation for the subsequent gray wave 3, expected to resume the primary trend with renewed momentum. Critical Level A critical aspect of the analysis is the wave cancellation invalid level, set at 11130.21. This level acts as a threshold that, if breached, would invalidate the current wave count. The invalidation of the wave count would require reassessing the Elliott Wave structure and potentially alter the market outlook. Summary The Swiss Market Index day chart analysis identifies a corrective phase within gray wave 2, positioned in the larger context of orange wave 3. With gray wave 1 completed, the market is now navigating gray wave 2, setting the stage for the forthcoming gray wave 3. The wave cancellation invalid level at 11130.21 serves as a crucial validation point for maintaining the current wave count.   Swiss Market Index Elliott Wave Analysis - Weekly Chart FUNCTION: Trend MODE: Impulsive STRUCTURE: Orange Wave 3 POSITION: Navy Blue Wave 3 NEXT LOWER DEGREES: Orange Wave 4 DETAILS: Orange Wave 2 of 3 appears complete; Orange Wave 3 is in play. WAVE CANCEL INVALID LEVEL: 11130.21 The Swiss Market Index (SMI) Elliott Wave analysis on the weekly chart provides a detailed overview of the market's trend using Elliott Wave Theory. This analysis focuses on the market's impulsive mode, indicating a strong directional movement in line with the primary trend. Market Structure The current market structure is identified as orange wave 3, suggesting the market is in a significant phase of upward movement. Within this structure, the market's position is noted as navy blue wave 3, a sub-wave of the larger orange wave 3. Navy blue wave 3 typically represents a strong and extended movement within the broader trend. Market Position The direction for the next lower degrees points to orange wave 4, which will follow the completion of the current orange wave 3. Orange wave 4 is expected to be a corrective phase, providing a retracement or consolidation after the impulsive movement of orange wave 3. This phase is essential for maintaining the overall market structure and preparing for the next impulsive wave. Observations The details highlight that orange wave 2 of 3 appears complete. This completion sets the stage for the current orange wave 3, now in play. Orange wave 3 represents a continuation of the impulsive trend, characterized by strong upward movement and potentially significant market gains. Critical Level A critical aspect of the analysis is the wave cancellation invalid level, set at 11130.21. This level acts as a crucial threshold that, if breached, would invalidate the current wave count. The invalidation of the wave count would require reassessing the Elliott Wave structure and potentially alter the market outlook. Summary The Swiss Market Index weekly chart analysis identifies an impulsive phase within orange wave 3, positioned within the larger context of navy blue wave 3. With orange wave 2 completed, the market is now navigating orange wave 3, continuing the primary upward trend. The wave cancellation invalid level at 11130.21 serves as a crucial validation point for maintaining the current wave count.
