tried to close account several times but held to ransom

tried to close account several times but told i cannot close because after i withdrew my money i got paid 0.01p dividend then continued to get billed a monthly fee which i refuse to pay £7 i think it is, in order to claim my 1p and close account. now because of severval months & therfore several requests to pay another montly fee my account has been locked unless i pay the backdated fee's therfore i cannot close my account down, absolutly crazy and customer service is no good!

Best and cheapest neo-broker

5
Access to multiple markets in the safest and cheapest manner as they do not try to sell you expensive, nigh margin and risky leveraged products that their competitors using Payment For Order Flow do. Their freemium subscription packages are the best value out there. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Easy straightforward service
