4 months for an in-specie transfer certainly isn't unprecedented.

...would have me complaining to Vanguard.
Claiming to be "at the mercy of" another department of the same company is pretty poor customer service.0 -
I didn't think you would take that as they used that exact phrase hence why i said "they basically say..." and didn't say "word for word they said...".
But to me that's pretty much what they were saying. Just kept saying see what HL says and these things can take time.0 -

That crosses over into full-on jobsworthism and I almost want to phone them up myself to complain!!
There's no harm chasing HL too, but I could sympathise with them saying (probably not literally!): "you wanted to transfer to Vanguard, and all the actions now sit with Vanguard, so there we are".0 -
Whereas the chances of getting any help from HMRC, however you contact them, are surely very small indeed.Reed0

What is it you think i'm looking for from HMRC that you think they would be unable to help me?
If you think i'd be contacting them to hurry this transfer along then you're very wrong, so i can only assume you have something else in mind?0 -
Vanguard told you to contact HMRC. You don't know why but you still want to do it???Reed0

Easier to liquidate the holdings and transfer a cash balance.0

It just so happens that on Thursday i get an update from Vanguard saying the transfer has completed, yet it also shows as pending and the fund is still showing in my Hargreaves Lansdown account.
Progress of some sort, maybe.

I know why Vanguard told me to contact HMRC. My why to you was why do you think the chances of HMRC helping me (get the answer to my question) are small? I think my question would be fairly straight forward for them to answer would it not?0 -

In that case maybe worth contacting HL and asking how and when they will communicate to HMRC that the ISA has been fully transferred?0
