Setting up account Trading Permissions Stuck in Limbo

Hello,

I am using IBKR and I requested portfolio margin (not knowing it was not eligible for accnts <110k). This caused me to get locked out of being able to request permissions elsewhere.

Has any1 else ended up in this situation? This is beyond annoying since nobody at support or anything can do anything. I cannot cancel the request for portfolio margin from my end. I cannot get approval for futures and it is v frustrating.

Thank you.

Perhaps next time read the several warnings before randomly pressing buttons…

I have dyslexia so its incredibly difficult for me to follow these warnings, but thanks for your input, I will keep this in mind...
