I need advice! I am a dissenting shareholder of Clyde Processing Solutions PLC who were bought over in Feb 2011 by Shenck, a german company. I have contacted Capita Registrars who tell me the balance of my holding is nil and that I held 827 shares before the scheme arrangement. According to my records I hold 41354 shares. I also seem to be due some cheques which I am assuming are dividend payments. What has happened to my shares? I would be grateful for any advice on what to do next.

Hi there, can you help me please? I invested £1000 into a mutual fund two years ago. I requested the funds go into the inc class but my SIPP provider invested in the accumulation class. They've since written to me to confirm they've corrected the units but I don't know if they've done it correctly ie, since I requested the inc class have I not lost out on cash dividends since the date the original trade was made? And do you know how I can find out how many income dividends I should have received (assuming the trade had been done correctly)?...thanks in advance.
