I'm in a situation where I need to sell stocks (need access to some funds) immediately, as in asap today. I have two phones and I've been on hold trying to reach their customer service for over 30 minutes on each. For whatever reason, the phone line didn't even prompt their normal voice verification system.

I have an account that has over a $1m balance, it doesn't quite feel right that I can't reach them in some quicker fashion when I need help. Is there some other line I can contact?

I'm trying to sell some stocks in a speedy fashion but need one of them to hold my hand through the process as I've never sold before and need to prioritize selling, find those that maybe have a loss first, then sell those with the smallest capital gain.

Anybody know how I can get in touch with them faster?

Edit: Approaching 40 minutes now, this is ridiculous. Does anybody know a more direct line to Vanguard dept who can help me sell Vanguard funds?

Unfortunately, there is a problem at Vanguard, including with the website... no access.
So no doubt their phone lines are swamped.
(Maybe the market will be up, or at least not down more, tomorrow.)

What are the expected dates for the P&S for your planned home purchase?
The amount needed at that stage seems to vary a lot by location/state.
You probably won't need any large sums until that date.
And then you won't need the full down payment until closing, of course.

And yes, as has been discussed on the other thread, what is a worry for you is if the market starts to tank.
Do you have a well diversified portfolio, so you could withdraw some early funds from, say, bonds or even money market funds?

You don't need all of the money immediately, right?
What is the minimum you *need*, and on what approximate dates?
That should be your focus now.

For customer service I don't think there's much you can do other than wait it out.

By the way, although this isn't much (any?) help right now, this is *exactly* why we do, and will probably always, have some money in at least two separate financial firms.
That's not a guarantee if there is a really massive internet problem, but it's at least a chance of having access.

Again, you don't need all of the money immediately, and the market isn't crashing. In fact, it's recovered slightly from earlier today.

I'm guessing it's cookies, since Chrome doesn't work on this machine, but Firefox and Edge work, and Chrome is working on another computer. I'm hesitant to clear Chrome cookies on this computer since I have lots of funds in my Funds Watch List and those are set using cookies.

What an unbelievable day for this to happen lol, wow. I'm on Twitter... supposedly they've locked their ENTIRE customer base down and aren't allowing trades? That's one of the most wild things I've heard. What could be going on? On the same day Tesla and Apple split right? Wow.

Technically I only need an additional like $10k by Wednesday (funny how you knew I was going through the house stuff) which I could possibly find from a family member worst case, but I also wanted to sell my stocks just because I don't want the market to go down for any reason, just like you alluded to. What a weird coincidence. I'll need a few hundred k soon though.

Ugh, try to unstress. Do you think this could be something bigger, like some attempted hack of a larger system or something that could impact the market?

For anyone using their Yubikey on Chrome, try logging in at the home page sign-on (scroll down) instead of clicking on the log on button (upper right). It recognized my yubikey and had to memorize it again. The upper right log on page threw an error.

That all could have been timing though and was earlier today, so YMMV.

I migrated one account from Vanguard to Fidelity a couple years ago. This makes me think I should migrate another one.

Post by **LadyGeek** » Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:39 pm

I'm wondering if it's due to the heavy volume from the planned AAPL and TSLA stock splits, which go into effect today.

I had no problem logging into my Fidelity account and got this message:

Holders of Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA), please note that final updates due to the announced stock splits are still in progress. Position Value, Share Size and Pricing are correct for these equity positions, however, they will not display Todays Gain/Loss, Total Gain/Loss or Cost Basis detail until after market open on Tuesday, 9/1. Similarly, Purchase History / Tax Lots will be updated to reflect the updated quantity and total gain/loss information at that time. Option contracts and strike prices will be adjusted for the splits prior to market open on 8/31. In addition, please review any open orders for these securities. Buy Limit and Sell Stop equity orders will be automatically adjusted for the splits, other equity orders will remain. All open option orders entered prior to 7:00 AM ET on Monday 8/31 will be cancelled.

Vanguard is in a long-term migration to the cloud. Perhaps the heavy volume threw a wrench in the process.

Cheez-It Guy · Post by **Cheez-It Guy** » Mon Aug 31, 2020 12:40 pm

Just waiting will resolve the issues. Those attempting to log in without a reason other than to "check things out" is making any problem worse. It was obvious by the third post in this thread that there was a systemic issue, so everyone doesn't have to go check and post "Me too!" I mean, what is the point of calling customer service unless you really have an urgent issue? You're just frustrating yourself at this point.

Easy to say, might be difficult to do.

And, in any event, conflicts with the concept of trying to keep things simple.

But, that all said, if one has Vanguard index funds (and no ETFs at all and doesn’t want them), to where should one move those holdings? It has to be to a place that won’t charge a fee to buy more index shares or to sell any of what I’ve already got. Who do you recommend?

Finally reaching a person after 1 hour and 7 minutes, but now he needs to transfer me to somebody who can actually help with my request, he says it will be another "lengthy wait maybe over 15 minutes".

What craziness, this is really frustrating. Their Twitter post is full of people saying they've frozen accounts and aren't allowing trades. This guy I spoke with before he transferred me says he doesn't think they're freezing trades but needs to transfer me to that group anyway.

It is interesting that Vanguard does something similar (go back to the old simple home page), but the transition has not been very clean or stable.

Could be. When I got in this morning, after clearing the entire browser cache -- the old main page showed up. Maybe they keep some older servers available with the old format. I've noticed when they have problems, the old format often shows up. I was able to enter a buy for a MF today in my IRA.

Just checked and it is still bringing up the old format.

Anyone know why there would be high volume today? Are we sure it's because of volume and not a tech problem with say AWS that all these companies use? Looks like the market is mostly flat/stable.

One possible explanation for higher volume perhaps is that Apple's and Tesla's stock splits take effect today. I don't completely buy that explanation but I have no special insight.

At this point I don't know that we can chalk all the disruptions up to high volume. It could be there are multiple sources for disruptions. One such source would be connectivity issues between various Vanguard servers or the data centers used by Vanguard servers.

I need to transfer funds today, and no information was available through Vanguard's official channels when I went to do so—all I knew was that the website was not offering me the functionality I needed, and that I could not get through on the phone.
