SVS Securities - shut down?

Progress update......
Hmmm, lack of progress update would be a better description.
72hrs and no Phoenix account live yet - still stuck at pending approval.

Has anyone actually managed to do any trading with Phoenix on their SVS holdings?

I'm still sitting on "onboarding submitted" 10 days later

Update: I’ve been on the phone this morning with LC and apparently they have had a long conference call with ITI and have Basically told them to sort this mess out ASAP.

ive been told that ITI have guaranteed LC all issues will be resolved this week apparently they will have people also working thru the weekend to make sure of this.

Also been told again LC are sending staff to liaise with ITI.

I've just emailed Leonard Curtis and told them to read the pages on this forum from 23rd July onward to educate themselves about the true scale of what is unfolding and how not one single person has yet announced they have successfully traded a share via ITI.

Zero out of 20,000 accounts and we are heading for two weeks after the handover.

I think ITI are not disclosing the true scale of the problems to LC during their briefings.

I have asked LC the question several times..almost to the point of bluntness - 
"How many clients have access to their accounts and can trade"
Pretty simple question, eh?
The reply is that 90% of clients have had their emails. 
So I, re-iterate the question to them...and they fail to respond.

(If they have people working through this weekend then it will not be solved this week as the financial markets close on a Friday..not a Sunday)

Has it occured to you that you are compounding the problem by wasting their time?

I wonder if My2penneth's question of LC is one that cannot be answered by them.  all LC will know is that 'their' clients have been moved over to ITI.  How far they have got with onboarding is for ITI  to know...if they do.  Now they may not say; I suspect it is zero to-day.  FYI I was told that ITI have staff overseas that work on weekends - I wonder if the UK staff do/will.

Very simple question indeed, and the answer is screamingly obvious too:

Zero

ITI don't have the b@ll$ to admit it.

More like how much of my time and life have they wasted

Works both ways.

My portfolio value is still incorrect as Vodafone is still showing as worth £0. Most annoyingly it is virtually impossible to withdraw cash from my accounts. You have to fill in forms, attach them to an email and then you still get asked for more details. I think this must be the most user-unfriendly system possible, designed to make it impossible to withdraw your own money. it is also very hard to transfer as most brokers have never heard of ITI so it has to be done manually which could take a long time.
