Hey @Cannatrix account specific queries can only be dealt with using in app support. I Suggest you start a query and mark it as urgent.  
If money has been taken from your account it may give you reassurance to freeze your card until you’ve had a response from support.

Live chat has “degraded performance”… Whatever that means

Yeah I’ve noticed that. But it’s just not helping when it’s a serious issue.

Does your chat window look like this?

If you didn’t select urgent at the start, you may need to start a new thread

Looks like you’re on the old chat but I still have the urgent option 🤔

Not sure if this will help but try emailing [help@monzo.com](mailto:help@monzo.com) and put ‘urgent’ in the subject

iOS… Yuck! 😉  
May be a bug

> [@Urgent Chat toggle disappeared](https://community.monzo.com/t/urgent-chat-toggle-disappeared/52031/15):
>
> ISTR Monzo staff speaking in the past of wanting to use machine learning to help triage support calls. I’m just guessing, but maybe part of this A/B testing is not just removing the ‘Urgent’ button, but sending the support tickets from the button-less submisisons to a different bucket (as it where) where they are using some form of AI to see if that will successful float the urgent queries to the top? But I’m only guessing. Hopefully someone from Monzo will come along later to explain what is …

As the app mentions chat waiting times are pretty long at the minute, Monzo are recruiting COps as fast as they can to deal with a very large backlog due to fast growth… try messaging a member of the monzo staff like @simonb and/or email the address above and see if they can’t get this prioritised for you. In the mean time maybe freeze your card like someone else suggested just to be on the safe side, hope this gets sorted for you

Out of interest, do you have any open chats?

Thanks I’ll and get hold of one of the staff but freezing my card is not an option because now monzo is my only account.

You can freeze and unfreeze instantly, so maybe just unfreeze before you do a transaction - I think that’s what’s recommended

</div>

Yeah as @Gaoler mentioned you can freeze/unfreeze instantly so probably worthwhile doing that, if you get it marked as urgent you should hear back a lot faster and hopefully get it solved ASAP

I’m not working today but I’ve asked a colleague to look into this for you @Cannatrix. As you don’t seem to have the “Urgent” option I’ve requested we manually place your query into the Urgent queue.

Really sorry about this, we should be able to get this fixed for you shortly!

Out of interest, what has happened? Is there a transaction with a merchant you don’t recognise, cash been taken from an ATM, money been deducted from your balance, etc.?
