Some points regarding receipt of dividends.

From ITI Capital’s Terms Of Business -

8.3   We may, but shall not be obliged to, claim and receive dividends, interest payments and other income payments accruing to your investments held by a nominee.

That's one of what I thought were "red flags"  found while looking though the T&Cs, before deciding it would not be advantageous to get further involved with ITIC.

Still no cash transferred across to IWeb.

Someone a little while back (Gibson?) suggested that ITIC would be waiting till all dividends destined for them had arrived before sending off all the cash in one go. That would be plausible in respect of one of my accounts, but with the other one there are no dividends to wait for.

About dividends, someone on one of the ShareSoc "SVS Client Action Group" threads posted earlier today:

[QUOTE} "I did actually manage to get though to someone at ITI to ask why dividends were not showing a couple of weeks ago. He said that it was because I had chosen to transfer to another broker. His explanation was that all my holdings and cash were held in a sort of ‘transitional’ account between the administrators and themselves and so were frozen from the point that they accepted my transfer request.

I felt that this was probably just to try and placate me and get me off the phone

This has been a farce from start to finish [.... ]" [END QUOTE]

So let's hope our dividends are being properly recorded and accurately assigned somewhere by ITI... But surely they should be visible to us? I am using DividendMax website to check what dividends I should be receiving and on what dates since July 2020. And only one of my four expected dividends is currently shown in 'Qort' - under "Income from financial instruments" with no indication of which share holding it is related to...

Are you sure about this? 8.3 in the following link doesn't refer to dividends. It deals with margin?

Not surprised with what is going on, with so many now running away and heads in the sand.
Still unable to see accounts and monies.

I'd hope so but the ANNEX to the T & Cs states "This Annex, which forms part of the Terms, sets out certain additional terms and conditions applicable to the specific products set out herein. In the event of an inconsistency between the Annex and the Terms, the provisions in this Annex shall take precedence".

So, I think that 8.3 in the Annex (apologies for not noting that it was from the Annex) is a problem.

After watching this forum for week and still having no assets in my Phoenix account I sent an email to out every pertinent person I could find (info on here), and today as if by magic my asset are suddenly there, and they have offered me £100 to keep quiet. From what I can see it used to be £150, but I'm not really happy about taking bribes, I just want me stocks and cash.
How do you withdraw cash from a Phoenix account? or. is this another 'test' being dished out to the tormented?

The incompetence knows no bounds with this shower.
After submitting a cash withdrawal a month ago which after various complaints was paid out after a 2 week wait, I today have received an email asking me to resubmit the cash withdrawal pdf so it can be forwarded onto a colleague who deals with the processing of withdrawals!

Pleased to report that I have received some of my dividends due from ITIC into my HL account. It is a partial transfer at this point so I will push HL for the remainder. Also nothing into my iWeb account.
