If the shares pay a dividend then its usually paid out, reinvested to buy more shares or paid into the cash account inside the ISA. It really depends on which option you picked.

Nick, if you name the companies whose shares you hold someone can tell you whether they pay dividends.

No need for that - plenty of people, including fund managers, hold shares in these companies! Here are links to dividend histories -

Barclays
Lloyds
BT
Aviva
RBS

The Barclays page is not as helpful as the others as it doesn't give as much info but you can assume that the previous year's dates will be roughly the same.

You definitely should have had dividends from all of these. Have you opted for automatic dividend re-investment? Though even if you did, there should be some evidence in your brokers account of dividends being credited.
