Hi Boxedin,
I know it's possible to get most of the info elsewhere, but I thought the reason I was paying a premium to Bracklies was so I had it all on one site.Optimists see a glass half full

Just rung the 0800 no to get a message that the office was now closed (6.35pm) they then go on to say their office hours are until 7.00pm. Great!!
This is the Barclays view of todays service

Nah your paying to keep the knutsford employees in the lifestyle to which they have become accustomed

It would be nice if there is such a broker out there I will be trying to find one which offers a better service
shame really. Seems like a concerted effort to gouge the HNW investor with a shift towards % based pricing0 -
I can understand why they shut the helpline at that time. I called at 5pm, call finally answered at about 6:15pm by a very frazzled but helpful guy.
Most of the stuff that is missing like RNS, all the indicies, and Broker Views, are actually all still there, just very very hard to find. It's all buried in the "invest" section, which looks like it punches out from Barclays to another site of some kind (opens in a separate window). You cannot get to it by clicking on an equity in your portfolio.
Ability to see % change for the day in you portfolio view is gone for good though.
The guy who helped me said a number of customers have been on this new site for about 6 months and they haven't had any problems. They must have picked a very easily pleased cross-section of customers for that beta testing...Optimists see a glass half full

Got through to someone this morning 1hour 30min waiting time 7.30 till 9.0. CSR was helpful and got required membership no that didn't arrive in post, so have been able to log in, certainly different in terms of presentation will have a root around to see how it works
The Telephone Banking passcode and membership no they have sent out is to enable you to use the telephone equity purchasing service this has a different membership no. to the online account service was wondering why I had been sent that as I don't have a Barclays bank account0 -
Total disaster. No login details sent. Can't get through. Wast of time. Heads should roll, but most likely they will be promoted!
Thankfully most of my stuff is tied up elsewhere! And I'll remove everything from these clowns too.0 -
Well I tried to phone this morning, they now give a waiting time in the queue, which was 40mins, have a sheet of paper full of issues now.
Like others here been with them since Schwab days maybe getting towards 30years.
I did find RNS in the end, just wasn't easy to get to, and is off under a different web site research centre.
The thing about being on the new site 6months is likely for new customers they are unlikely to have a history, need to do CGT at end of tax year, held shares long term and have no need for historic information, think it's the norm not to get RNS access, need to track interest and dividends paid for tax liabilities at end of tax year, now we have the dividends over £5k taxed.
I suspect one issue might be you have to have a Barclays current account of some form, to pay in or make withdrawals, which is why I'm seeing blank pages. Newly registered are likely gone through a set-up starting with adding a current bank account.0 -
First time I managed to get in for a look around was yesterday and I was busy on other stuff but still managed to get booted out three or four times
Noticed you could access the research centre without logging in last night
Had my first white screen of death WSOD at 8.19am this morning when I tried to go to Invest from Hub by pressing blue Invest button.
Have a query about a bond I hold which they have put a message on saying no longer can be held in an ISA
To send a secure message you need a PINsentry device which of course I haven't got
Clicked Webchat. We are busy give us a call
If you give them a call, well you know the rest
Just in case you need to sell anything quick, the girl I spoke to yesterday said if you phoned up with an instruction they would only charge the online rate not the telephone rate for the transaction.0 -

Seems odd using card readers for an investment account though.0 -
Thanks for the information I have a Nationwide card reader but I don't have a Barclays card because I am not a barclays bank account holder I am an investment account holder cash being transferred into account from outside bank so I can't use PINsentry anyway unless I get a bank account
So I can't get in touch by email as its too commercially sensitive and I cant send them a secure message so I have to ring them and it takes them over 40 min to answer
Just booted me out on login after 2224 error and then wsod freeze when I clicked on contact button back in on re logging in
They seem to be driven by security and regulatory issues at the expense of customer service.
The issue is they have put a note on my BUR 3 issue corporate bond saying its no longer eligible for an isa
which is the first I have heard of it0
