Just a quickie question, are they still rubbish at paying dividends on time, it's been a couple of year since I left, so just wondering.

Just a quickie question, are they still rubbish at paying dividends on time, it's been a couple of year since I left, so just wondering.

They are not too bad - "share" dividends usually arrive on (or close to) the payment date.

Fund dividends arrive no later than about half way through the month, usually earlier, and very occasionally on time.

It usually takes about a week for my fund dividends to be credited to my trading account, with some funds consistently being later than others (Newton Asian Inc. being my worst offender).

Overall I’m now reasonably happy with their service (for the price!), but after the fiasco a couple of years ago I still don’t quite trust them, and check everything far more carefully than I used to!

I haven’t had to contact them about anything for a long time.

ok thanks, so it seems the siutation is smiliar to when i left, dividend were taking between 1 and 4 weeks to turn up. Oh well i guess i will stay at AJ Bell for now then, even if their costs have gone up.

The III just confirmed to me over the phone that they no longer do "family linked accounts", so my wife and I will have to have separate accounts with separate fees...

Obviously a downer...

Which competitive provider offers family linked accounts in the flat fee structure?

Possibly not - my Premier Monthly income arrived today - on time!!!!!

But "one swallow doth not a summer make....."

i wonder what the effect will be on service:think:

as it stands i still have ISA and SIPP investments with iii.

how are folks getting on with iii now? do things seem better CS-wise?

and thoughts re. the implications of JCF and TDDI joining the fold?

and further to my previous message..
having been with HL previously i have been contacted by them to tell me that my W-8BEN is due to expire at the end of the year.
perhaps expectedly, i haven't had any contact re. this from iii. has anyone else? what is the best way to ensure that, as an iii customer, we are covered properly?
