Disgraceful company

It's been over 70 days now pocket have frozen my account using legal technicalities to stop you accessing your money I recommended you contact the FCA and the Financial Ombudsman pocket are asking for verification which was sent when they first blocked the account I'm told nobody every reads any information and are probably laughing at you in the the pocket office while spending your money I used pocket mainly for ebay purchases I did not want to be defrauded my self I read some reviews where customers are in financial distress pocket it seems does not care. The founder of the company was on radio 4 money box programme promising to get all the accounts blocked unblocked this was all just talk . Reviewed on: 25th July 2021

Pockit need to be investigated and shut down for good

Opened an account a couple of weeks ago. I set up my new business a month ago and have a separate business account, i thought I would use Pockit to pay myself from the business account. I sent £50 to my Pockit account, then sent £100 and they have restricted my account. Starting out in business is hard enough but for them to do this is disgusting. I have sent ALL the info and documents they requested on the 20th July and heard nothing back and my account is still restricted and they still have my money. Outraged that Pockit are allowed to behave this way and reading some of the other reviews where people cant pay rent and have tried to commit suicide is unbelievable! Pockit - what the hell are you doing ? Reviewed on: 24th July 2021

misleading and immorral

they take your money and freeze your account so you cannot eat or pay rent - they do not care about OUR human rights Reviewed on: 21st July 2021

Sketchy Company

Don't open an account here. They locked my account two months ago and no response after sending all the documents they needed. Chat is useless like these employees there are useless, why work for a fraud company? Shameful behavior. Even more shameful that FCA is allowing a company like this to trade.

Blocked

Hi guys anyone taking legal proceedings against this company let me know i will join you. I have contacted the financial ombudsman and the FCA my case is now live with the ombudsman pocket are trying to delay account activation by posting wrong email address asking again for verification i have no intention of sending any more information to them 55 days i have had no access to my account there's £160.01 on my account compared to some of you it's not much i feel for those who rely on this account to pay bills and rent i use the account for ebay purchases . When i contacted the FCA today they told me there as been many complaints made about pocket I'm flabbergasted how they still have any licence to operate in this country. Best of luck to you all .

scammers, frauds, thieves and liars

are now closing down our accounts and telling us our money will be returned - IT IS NOT. they refuse to acknowledge resolver - the FCA don't give a fuck and the FOS have been waiting since 16 june deadline for pockit to hand over their business dealings. on companies house PAYRNET have RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON THEM - yet pockit is with them and they are allowed to trade? this company is one big scam and they are defrauding the very customers they aim their advertising at. does it really need someone to commit suicide before something is done? virraj jatania LIED to bbc moneybox live saying he would look into it - the only thing he looks into is his giant vat of our money which he is illegally withholding! how can this company be allowed to get away with this? Pockit always remove my 1* feedback BUT if they think i am wrong TAKE ME TO FUCKING COURT! SUE ME YOU BASTARDS - oh no? you won't do that coz then you really with be exposed for the bunch of crooks you are Reviewed on: 6th July 2021
