    You've not actually said what the problem is.    Is it that you are unable to access your account?

    The math ain’t mathing. 

    Other than that, I don’t actually understand what’s happened.

    ML does not view these forums (sold them years ago) or help with individual issues.

    Where does the 3rd party co come into this?

    Have you used the contact us page?

    And on another note, don’t ever leave that amount of money sitting in any survey site. Because if you get turfed off the site or they close down that money has gone.

    When was the last time you logged in without a problem because if it’s been a substantial amount of time your account might have been deactivated? I had an email from them awhile back telling me that if I didn’t login within a certain timeframe, my account would be closed.

    from their terms and conditions:
     We reserve the right to terminate your account at any time, immediately without specifying a reason, or if:
    • You have been inactive for 365 days or more
    • You are in breach of these terms

    Your account termination will result in your panel currency being deleted.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
  • Is it that you are unable to access your account?

    They have locked my account and unable to get into and I need help.

    I have sent several emails to them

    Other than keeping contacting them, I’m not sure what else you can do. I don’t know what you mean by the third party verification process because that is not something valued opinions have ever asked me.

    you could also try contacting them on social media because that has worked for some companies.

    There is also the contact form on webpage which you don’t need to be logged in for

    or try this phone number, which is for corporate users, but you never know. 020 7084 3000


    .

  • I have just come across the same issue - been a member for 20+ years and didn`t do any surveys for the past few weeks - and also noticed no e-mails, but go to sign in and password not accepted, password reset and still nothing - I have tweeted / X them and raised an issue with them via their site - but nothing back at all as yet after several days
