Why have you contacted me?
We are working on behalf of a company that is attempting to make contact with you or you could be due an entitlement that you may not be aware of. Our clients may have lost contact with a customer or an asset may become ‘lost’ for a number of reasons, including:
> People move house without providing an updated address
>
People change their name through marriage or divorce
>
Executors or beneficiaries of an estate are unaware of an investment or policy when a family member passes away
>
People develop a complex range of savings and investments that they subsequently lose track of.
How did you get my address?
We have access to publically available records, such as the electoral roll or BT OSIS. Our experienced in-house research team will have located you at a new address, under a new name or as a possible beneficiary to a deceased estate and are now making contact with you to positively identify that you are the person we are looking for.
Why have you written to my neighbours?
As part of our work, from time to time we need to make contact with people or organisations who we consider may have valuable information that may assist us in tracking down the person that we are looking for. Neighbours often keep in contact with each other and can help us with our search. You can rest assured that we do not give out any information other than your last known address.
How can I trust that this is legitimate?
Georgeson is a trading name of Computershare Investor Services PLC, which is a company authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. We have been appointed directly by a company to complete a programme of work to make contact with their customers or reunite them with entitlements that they are due. If you have any concerns or require any further information then please contact us.
Why am I only hearing about this now?
The company we are working on behalf of has written to you in the past, but you have not responded. Previous correspondence may have been sent to a previous address that you have subsequently moved from or you may have simply not responded.
Why do you charge a service fee?
Where applicable, the service fee goes towards the cost of the time and resource Georgeson has spent locating and contacting you and others who have not claimed their entitlement. We employ a dedicated research, call centre and processing team. Details of the fee (if applicable) you will be charged following a successful claim can be found on the claim form you should have received.
