Oh God. You share my sentiments entirely john.
Whats happened to you doesnt surprise me in the least. i have no idea how they are managing to make all these serious errors. I have an account with them for over 2 years and i am always having problems. I think at this stage now i have no option but to move all my holdings to another broker.
One example of the problems i have.
I bought shares in a company through dsl online in december. I noticed a few days later that somebody in their wisdom had bought me another set of the same shares and debited my account.
I certainly didnt buy them. Sent two emails to report this but as ever no replies.
Rang today, they said that extra trade had been cancelled, but of course they never told me or re-credited my account. They said their it people will re-credit my account.
Maybe they will, but im not holding my breath.
Once again what we as customers see in our account when we log onto the sharewatch-dsl system doesnt tally with what they have on their computer system there in glasgow.
Its sheer madness! and very worrying.
