Payment for Compulsorily Purchased IDS (Royal Mail) Shares

  • Yep, contacted them yet again to complain eight days ago and was told it will be dealt with as a priority…history tells me there will be no further communication until I contact them again, utter cowboys.

    What can we do, financial ombudsman?

  • Finally got payment yesterday. For anyone still trying, it was an email of complaint that did the trick. Still took an incredibly long time with virtually no communication though and they had the cheek to charge me £86 for a lost share certificate that I'd never received in the first place.

    Still not received compensation payment for compulsory purchase of Royal Mail shares (neither has my wife) despite writing to Equinity twice. We both hold the maximum number of shares allocated when Royal Mail was sold.

    Any body got any suggestions on the next best course of action.

    Try calling Equiniti instead. Did you fill in the forms and send off your certificates? If so, a poster above said they received their money after making a complaint.
