Resolved with a call
I phoned the help desk and after the initial security questions the agent was extremely helpful in guiding me thru the money transfer process. My comment however is about their online site. Navigating it is extremely complicated. Not intuitive at all and I would suggest beyond most average computer literate people. It is just too complicated compared with other site and especially the new digital App sites.

Appalling service so far (update)
This is an update to my previous review. With reference to your response:-
Paragraph one, you have still failed to do this and just sent the same transaction history with zero bances.
Paragraph two saying you are unable to give me statements of the two isa’s. This is in breach of FCA rule: COBS .4
The other things you did and rejected my complaint about breach FCA rules PRIN 2 and PRIN 2a.
So do you still think it is a good idea to not let me speak to a supervisor?

Secure messaged them twice over 5 days requesting details to transfer cash ISA to another provider but they are not responding. Why don't they show my account details for my ISA then I could just fill out the form myself

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.
We are concerned to learn that you have not received a response within five days, as we typically aim to reply within two working days. Please respond to our request for information so we can confirm that your messages are being received and address your enquiry accordingly.
Regarding transferring an ISA, the information required is your client number, the amount you wish to transfer and, if this is a partial transfer, the specific products you would like to withdraw for in order to transfer out. There is no separate account number for the Cash ISA; your new provider only needs your client number for us to process and accept the transfer. Thanks, HL Team.
First class service.

I wanted to sell some shares
I wanted to sell some shares and I hadn’t done it before. I spoke to someone who explained that it was cheaper for me to do it online and pointed me in the right direction to do it myself.
He guided me through the process and I was very impressed how easy it was and grateful for the help

Im a novice and a pensioner so not good with internet.
Im so happy im with a highly reputable company. I have peace of mind.
The other day I phoned to get help to sell on if my stocks and add it to another. I was worried incase I did something wrong.
The gentleman was so polite, helpful and made me feel at ease.
I was under no pressure time was not important to him. And regardless of my small amount, I know everyone would get the same treatment!
I would highly recommend this company.
Only wish I had started earlier.
