After that I made another withdraw request of remaining funds: 12337.54 GBP, but then GFT just cancelled all my trades ( some of them older than 10 days).
I already sent formal complain to GFT:
Dear Sir/Madam,
After contacting FCA please accept this letter as a formal notice regarding cancellation all of my trades on the account Nr *******. In my point of view and in line with clause 43.3 of your General Terms you did not have any rights to cancel my trades. In this case I am asking you to pay me back the rest of my funds I requested (12337.54GBP). Please explain as well why my account was closed in line with clause 20.2 of your General Terms.
I already spoke to FCA and the Money Advice Service about the situation. If you do not pay me back in two days, I am going to report that to:
· FCA Home - Financial Conduct Authority
· Action Fraud Action Fraud | Report fraud and internet crime
· Local Police Force
· Office of Fair Trading The Office of Fair Trading
· Financial Ombudsman Service Financial Ombudsman Service: Banking, Insurance & Pensions Ombudsman UK
