I had some shares, in one company, and a small amount of cash transferred to interactive investor from TD Direct. I did not pay any fees at TD. The shares were transferred to a trading account, yet I had not traded in these shares for many years. Interactive Investor silently took fees to run the trading account from my cash and only ever notified me that they were taking cash from my account when there was none left and they were threatening to sell some om my holdings to fund their silent costs for my unused trading account. I am closing my account and will never have anything more to do with these people. In my opinion, they are just out to get what they can for customers whatever it costs the customer, and there communications and outlook for the customer is non-existent....avoid.
