Got mine from HL as well after kicking up a big fuss. James is a star and so keen to support us investors as much as he can/is allowed. That sounds encouraging Jane.

Talks are ongoing in Madagascar between our directors and 2 of the Madagascar advisors appointed by Madagascar government
No news as to when decisions or reinstated work permits but recent communication with James Fuller confirms discussions are ongoing

Regards
Jane

Mine's not in my account yet.....maybe in the morning. I'll check again then.

[flashheart] 11/4/2022 18:08

That's great. Thanks for the update mt.

At last the divi has landed, I make that 10 days late. Not expecting an honest explanation, but it all points to another HL mix up.

Right, can we have some good news from BSE please, it is about 2 1/2 years since they were ordered to down tools at Toliara by the previous Madagascar regime. Update on discussions with the new minister perhaps?

I've discovered it is as a result of HL's failure to act when the Co moved from cheque to payment system. They were given adequate time to adjust their systems. They are now playing catch up with Computershare to get this corrected. This is not acceptable. Surely they should take the hit and pay shareholders now. I have written to them saying this can't be FSA compliant. What is also annoying is the hiding of the failure, and the lack of preparedness to apologise.

I agree flashheart. No proper apology or details of the problem. We seem helpless to get any proper answers but I don't think it is good enough.

[flashheart] 08/4/2022 08:24

I've just messaged them complaining. A week is unacceptable in my book.

[value hound] 08/4/2022 08:17

FWIW, just checked - still no payment in HL

[plasybryn] 08/4/2022 07:10

I replied to their Tweet as follows:-Kind of you to reply. I think we had the same problem last time which suggests regretfully nothing was done to ensure we didn't get a repeat. Hopefully sorted for next time unless of course and even better, Madagascar is go & needs the cash?

[plasybryn] 08/4/2022 07:09

Received this helpful reply from BSE via Twitter. Carefully not attributing blame."we are aware of the issue, have identified the problem and are working with the related parties to rectify it. Not in our control, so can't comment on timing but everyone is committed to getting these payments out ASAP. Thanks for your patience!"

I think to be honest we could all find good and bad experiences with any of the top brokers. A little bit like the big four banks and who you hold an account with. Difficult to achieve consistency with any of them I would have thought. It's useful to discuss various experiences though in order to make an informed decision.

marktime1231 - I'd be interested to hear what type of problems you have had with II. I use Saxo Bank, II and HL - mostly to reduce platform risk. Never had a problem with II in 10+ years, HL have been so-so and Saxo Bank are pretty poor. I'm slowly selling down my Saxo portfolios and moving them to HL.

[flashheart] 07/4/2022 11:16

Thanks for that marktime.

[value hound] 07/4/2022 08:01

Already have my SIPP with them; generally prefer HL

[janekane] 07/4/2022 07:50

Change your broker to Interactive investor they are very good

[value hound] 07/4/2022 07:49

Yes - still not credited in HL this morning

[flashheart] 07/4/2022 07:46

Yes completely unacceptable when other brokers have done so. Not a level playing field.

[plasybryn] 06/4/2022 20:42

Still waiting for the dividend from HL. It doesn't seem right that investors should have to wait so long.

[janekane] 06/4/2022 15:03

Some one just invested £9.45k we could c a .25p tick up later today

[janekane] 06/4/2022 06:57

They are not on there own
However III are on the ball,always the day after divi paid into their account you get it

[dangersimpson2] 05/4/2022 14:50

HL clearly doing something wrong since other brokers don't seem to have had an issue paying this out on time.
