Cadburys / Kraft / Mondelez

I had a few shares in Cadburys which was bought out by Kraft for shares and cash a couple of years ago. To 'reunited' with my cash a 'share reunification' business, Georgeson, wants to take 10% of the cash as commission - which is for nothing as I hadn't lost the Cadbury share certificates. Do I have any alternative other than to use Georgesons?

The Kraft shares are now Kraft and Mondelez shares which are traded in the USA - again Georgeson want 10% to sell these but at least they're doing something for the money - it's the commission on the cash which I find the rip-off.

Any suggestions?

    Go direct? The registrars should be on your certificate.

    Make sure it isn't a scam that requires you to pay upfront for "their commission" on the promise of a massive payment per share.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
