• Please try to select the correct prefix when making a new thread in this folder.

    Discuss is for general discussions of a financial company or issues related to companies.

    Info is for things like "Has anyone heard of Company X?" or "Is Company X legit or not?"

    Compare is for things like "Which of these 2 (or more) companies is best?"

    Searching is for things like "Help me pick a broker" or "What's the best VPS out there for trading?"

    Problem is for reporting an issue with a company. Please don't just scream "CompanyX is a scam!" It is much more useful to say "I can't withdraw my money from Company X" or "Company Y is not honoring their refund guarantee" in the subject line.
    Keep Problem discussions civil and lay out the facts of your case. Your goal should be to get your problem resolved or reported to the regulators, not to see how many insults you can put into the thread.

    More info coming soon.

First, you have to file a formal complaint to the company. Emails are not sufficient. Please use the Complaint Portal (under "file a complaint") : https://www.ironfx.com/en/making-a-complaint. They are obliged to register your complaint, reporto to the CySEC and give you a reference number.

After the answer or after 3 weeks (do not wait too long, the current deadline is 4 months), you can file a dispute before the Financial Ombudsman of Cyprus.
It took a long time, but a number of clients were refunded after the decision of the Financial Ombudsman.

If the company accuses you of infringement of contract terms, please oppose the Decision of the Cyprus Consumer and Protection Service about IronFx contract terms being unfair (which means not binding for consumers)

There is a Decision of the Hungarian Court of Appeal against IronFx. The decision states that retail forex traders are consumers (Debrecen Court of Appeal, Pkf.11.20.685 / 2016/2., November 2016)

The Court of Appeal confirms: as a retail trader living in the EU, you can sue IronFx before court in your own EU country. You do not need to file a lawsuit in Cyprus.
