Yeah I have 2 lines, going from BT to Virgin, BT should be gone today, was using that and it said it was not a valid number, so thought I would try the Virgin line.

Okay so I have just bought 5 shares, . What do I do now, is there anything I need to do with Selftrade, I have not received an email or anthing.

I am going to Disney on Saturday, so too late do anything there I guess, thought I would buy now for next time though, seemed a too good an opportunity to miss.

You need to print of the contract note that should be in the inbox of your online selftrade account. Why dont you phone the shareholders club and explain you going on Sat and ask them to fax you a temp certificate for this weekend? You can fax everything to them, its worth a go!

Thanks GB, I have just sent them an email, with an attachment of my letter from the share company. I have not sent them my credit card details yet, but will wait for them to contact me. I have asked if they could leave the certificate at the Disney Hotel we are staying at.

Thanks for your help. The share prices have now gone up to 5.11, 5.08 when I bought them, bit gutted I did not write my account details down the other day. Oh well.

 

[Littlejojo]

good news, I have rang them up, sent them all my details, they are going to send the temp certificate out and if I have not received it my Friday I am to give them another call, and they will then leave a copy at Salon Mickey.

Question.

After you get your shareholder card, what is to stop you from selling the shares again?

I take it there is no way for them to check.

You can sell your shares but when your 2 years expire you will not be able to renew the membership as you have to prove you still own the shares & it has to be a statement/proof from the last 3 or 6 months

Also its not worth selling them at the moment as once you pay the fee to sell etc the chances are you will sell at a loss

I figured as much, I will just sit on them. They will have to go up quite a bit before I would make back my transaction costs anyway.

Finally got my application sent off yesterday for the Shareholders Club

What a pollaver, not one fax machine in work out of 17 faxes would send a fax abroad!!
I've had to post it the woman in the post office said it normally takes 3 days to get there. I've asked them to send me a temp certificate to cover my trip at the begining of December in my covering letter, hopefully by the end of next week I should hear something back from them!!
Salon Mickey here I come!!!

Yeahy!! I'm still waiting for my final card but I have a temp card (which only covers my up until the 30th Nov and were going 30th Nov-3rd Dec so they are sending me another one valid up until xmas).

 

[Littlejojo]

we got our temp certificate in the post today, so that is good, only took them 2 days to send.

 

[PinkPig]

There's no way they can tell if you sell the shares, but you would be breaking the terms of Shareholder's club membership, which says that you should inform them of any change in your circumstances (ie. you sell some shares) which would make your membership invalid.

 

[gemmybear83]

I got my new temp certificate today too (still hoping I get the proper card before we go as I did send it off nearly 6 weeks ago) - I'm now planning on doing lots of shopping

 

[mummyal]

Ok, I have (finally) decided to buy a few shares. Should've bought them last week/a couple of weeks ago when they were at a lower price. Argh. Serves me right I suppose lol.

Anyway, I have just opened a Selftrade a/c. I have my a/c number and I'm now at the final page (ie them telling me I need to send them a bank statement etc) and that I'll have to enter a verification code which will be sent with the Welcome Pack in the post.

In the meantime, can I transfer some money from my bank into the a/c and buy the shares... or do I have to wait for this code to do so?

Thanks for your help.

 

[aobh]

You can go ahead and deposit money as far as i know, though your verification code will probably be with u in a day or 2. mine came the next morning

 

[mummyal]

Woohoo, just bought some shares. Just a quick question - when you guys received that 'contract note' in your Inbox, is it in the form of an attachment or just text in the main body of the message? I have received the email but when I click on it, all I get is the title of the message with nothing else in the body and it says 'Done' at the bottom left of my screen. I'm hoping this is just a temporary blip?! Did you experience any difficulties with this contract note?

I feel all grown up now, owning share lol. Got it at 5 Euro today, better than 5.11 yesterday.

 

[mummyal]

I called them up (again) and they're having technical problems on that front and said everything should be rectified by Monday!! Monday!!! I was hoping to send the application form off this afternoon or tomorrow. Oh well, will have to wait till Monday now.

 

[Littlejojo]

what a pain the Temp Certificate is, just got back had to explain it to everyone, and they always had to call someone over, but did save a fair bit of money though.
