  • antipackers12 Antipackers12 (@antipackers12) reported

    @IBKR @MoonManStonk Terrible customer service. 1.5 hr and counting. Still on hold. And more like wont resolve my issue once someone pickup my call. Since these reps cannot do anything than take a message and create a ticket.

    @IBKR your app is telling me I don’t have the required trading permissions to trade BATS LSE but I have traded other equities without issue so I don’t know what permissions are required. All the help/support options lead to dead ends. Can you tell me how to resolve please?

    gosh @IBKR again messed up taxes. Every year for last few years tax docs messed up & always some updates w/ bug fixes few days later after I already downloaded. This year not even updates just straight up mess with no corrections.

  • antipackers12 Antipackers12 (@antipackers12) reported

    @DoronGreenberg @IBKR Yup I agree. Worst customer service there is. I spend 2 hours waiting on que to speak to a rep. I couldn't believe it! This is beyond below expectation. It's negligence.

    @IBKR I can't trade using your platform right now and I have to 10x more commission on other platforms.Sorry to say but your customer service needs to be better, they don't have answer. "Start the application if it goes through you can trade" reply i got. why did I call you then?

  • HappyJesse Happy 🌸 Jesse (@HappyJesse) reported

    @IBKR You guys need to work on your customer care It’s really in bad shape, multiple hours of waiting on phone line , still no luck, chat experience is so glitchy and most of the time you will get one word answer for complex questions , no reply to secure messaging for weeks. Really?

  • SwingingForward SwingingForward (@SwingingForward) reported

    @EconShiller @IBKR I may have had a similar incident. I was sure I exercised my mar contracts but someone I got exercised on some June contracts costing me 10k per contract

  • Tommy5950 Tommy (@Tommy5950) reported

    @Paolo_trades @1charts6 @IBKR IBKR allows retail to access institutional level execution and margin rates, some really useful stuff like realtime SI data, decent customer service but the software is unbearable. If they invest some upfront money and make it better they can retain lots of customers.

  • antipackers12 Antipackers12 (@antipackers12) reported

    @IBKR please answer the phone. 2 hour wait time each time customer service is needed. Unacceptable! Also please respond to tickets sent. No response after a week a ticket was submitted. Seriously! What's going on over there?
