Compulsory Purchased Shares

Hi all
I'm looking for some advice about a letter I received from Computershare today. I bought some shares in Interactive Investor International (III) plc at least 13 years ago and had completely forgotten about them (no idea how many and therefore how much they're worth) until I got a letter saying that my shares "had been compulsory acquired under ss 974-987 of the Companies Act", and that Computershare and the acquiring company (AMP (UK) Investment Services) are no longer trustees of the "dissenting register and all unclaimed monies have been passed to The Court".
I no longer have the share certificates (like I said, it was 12 years ago) but the letter states that "Computershare will no longer be able to deal with enquiries relating to the above mentioned dissenters register". So what do I do now? Trying to find an email address for Computershare proved impossible without a valid company (neither III nor AMP appeared in their list) and I'm struggling to work out a relevant government email for The Court (Chancery Case Management Team if that helps anyone!).
Any advice anyone can offer me would be much appreciated.
Regards
Richard Newlove
