Sellling Vodafone Shares

However they are looking for a share certificate. I suppose I have such a thing maybe if I search through all of my paperwork :eek: I might find it.....

I have the dividend sheets that come attached to the dividend cheques but I don't think they'll do ?

Has any one else sold any shares in this way ?

I generally spell the company's name correctly: It's Vodafone

We sold ours too last month and went through the same process. You need to find the bleeping "share certificate". It is basically a page that states your name and how many shares you bought. We received it when Eircom shares became Vodafone shares a while back. If you can not find it do not despair, they can retrieve it for you, but obviously it will not be hasslefree or free in any way
When we thought we had lost ours they told us to pay about 30 Sterling Pounds or so for the certificate, plus I don't how much else for sending it over. Apart from that there were other painful processes (send documents back and forth) to complete until you finally receive it, so if I were you I'd start looking for the paper now...

Best of luck!

I think I found it !

I came across an old letter from Computershare (Sept 2001).

So I think I'm all set to close off this chapter of Eircom history....once and for all.

Folks

Just wondering how long this process you took you once Computershare got the share certificate ? How long did it take for the sale to go through and the money to be back in your account?

To be honest I haven't gone about it yet, got the Certificate and forms but haven't gotten around to sending it.

The previous poster AMF may be able to put a time on it.

Does this company charge you anything for selling the shares for you?
