Some years back I purchased a number of Bank of Ireland Shares over the counter at AIB.
I was issued with a share certificate in 2014. Today I decided to sell these shares.
I have been informed the number of shares in circulation had been reduced and I would need a recent share cert.
I was told by a stock broker to contact the company who administrates (shares for BOI ) and ask them to issue me with a new cert.
After Contacting the administrators, I was informed that I should have received a new cert in 2017. I did not receive any such cert.
To get a new Cert issued is is going to cost me 82e for them to sign the application(for a lost cert) and 60e admin fee.
This I feel is extorsion as I never received or lost this cert. I asked them if they had registered the posting of such a valuable document and they had not.
Please advise what I should do...
