How much did you have in the account? If it was less than £100 you wouldn't have got any free shares anyway.0

Not a huge amount - yes under £100 so no shares, but think I would have been time barred anyway.0

Bad luck. It wouldn't have been time-barred.slummymummyof3 wrote: »Not a huge amount - yes under £100 so no shares, but think I would have been time barred anyway.
They would have sold your shares before the banking stocks crashed & held your windfall in a cash account, so it would have been worth a significant sum

Just a word to the wise about dormant accounts with A&L/Santander.
I recently asked them to close a dormant account and credit any closing balance to a current account I have with them. They sent ID forms which require signature by a professional (rather like passport applications). Unless you know a friendly professional (teacher, doctor, lawyer, . . .) then it's likely to cost you to get that signature they need.
