Latest response from broker....any advice/comments anyone?
"Please refer to my email of 22 December, sent at 12:11am which stated:
"...we received "delivery" of your shares from the market. You may be able to see the notation "del" on your online statement next to the purchases at issue. This simply means "delivered"."
This is your proof that your trades have settled, not with us, but with the Market Maker.
We will not provide you with details of the Market Makers. As I stated in my email earlier today, "When you buy shares, you contract to pay for them and the Market Maker contracts to deliver them. Both sides have honoured their part of the bargain. There is accordingly no issue whatsoever with non-delivery of your shares and you have no cause for issue with the Market Makers."
