What company's share did you buy?Maybe I could Help Out.

Please dear nairalanders i've also got the same issue. i bought firstbank shares in the 2007 IPO my colleagues also did.
everyone else has gotten either their share certificate or share dividend but, i've not heard a word.
I've been to First Regeistrers twice here in p.h the guy there said my name is not on the data base so he can't help. i'd really appreciate your assistance.
thanks.

@eruchi
Definately something is wrong somewhere.
Do you have evidence of payment/photocopy of the form you filled with you?
If yes, where did you effect that payment?
Let me have answers to these questions before I proffer solutions.

If you have problems with certificate/dividend in order for people to help you, please post

1. The company you have problem with
2. year of public offer
3. if you have photocopy of application form or receipt from the bank/ company/receiving agent
4. Where/who you submitted the application form to.

@eruchi do you have photocopy of application form and where did you submit this application form.
@ogbus, you have to post all details so people will know how to advice you!

Ii was the IPO of First Bank around march/ april 2007. i have the teller of marina branch of first bank. the forms were sent through DHL cos a number of my colleagues also bought the same time with me. i can also get the photocopy of the form too. The payment was processed thru rumukwurushi branch in port harcourt.
i've taken the teller to the bank and the acknowledged the payment. tahnks for the concern i hope it will be fruitful.

Let me ask you one question, Whose account did you pay the money into? Stock broker, agent, friends acct, bank?

You can go to the registrars with a photocopy of your application form and a copy of the bank teller. Make sure you go with photocopies and try to keep the originals unless they give u a stamped copy when collecting from you.

With the application form they will be able to search for your application using different details on your form because during that offer they made a lot of mistakes on the names on certificates so the guy could have been searching for the wrong name. Do you understand what I mean? For example instead of searching for Eruchi maybe your name on the system is Erychi. If they still cant find your name then ask them how you will go about getting your money refunded.

Do this then get back to us on the outcome. Good luck.

Atilla thanks for your help i'll try tis step and hope it gets me some good result. i paid into First Bank account not a friends a/c anyway.
