Hi Gordon,Hi Hibiscus,
This reads like it’s entirely your fault to be honest. When you moved home the onus was on you to notify them. I’m not sure what else they were supposed to do as something had to be done with your shares.
Just sign the paperwork and take the shares or sell them.
The lesson being to stay on top of your affairs.

Just for fun, imagine you are your former employer - what did you expect them to do in this situation?left my ex employer many years ago and changed address multiple times. The share transfer documents never reached me
I'm pretty sure, if you go back & check the T&Cs from when you signed up to the scheme; there was due provision made for this.to manage them without your consent.
Pick up the phone or send an email for instance. Send a registered letter. Send a transfer letter by normal post and not making sure it has been received means things can fall through the cracks.Just for fun, imagine you are your former employer - what did you expect them to do in this situation?
In any event, you own the problem, not your former employer.

For a contractual relationship to exist, you need two parties. If one does not want to sign up, or has not signed up, there is no contract. We are not living anymore in the middle ages or at the time where financial institutions could unilaterally decide for the customer. If you do not have the customer consent, then there is no contract.You moved several times, never notifed the relevant organisation; and yet you expect them to chase you round the houses?
If you want your money, fill in the forms & get it. They're hardly looking for you to sacrifice your first born child, so whats the big deal?
It's clearly money you don't need since you forgot it was even there; so even if they want an admin fee, it's hardly a show stopper.
