Thanks @JDCBC you are very knowledgeable for someone new to these forums. Actually, I am with I-web (Halifax/Lloyds) but it's the same problem as HSBC of course. I agree, Computershare don't know who I am, but DGOC pay them a lot of money and asked them to help me find a way round this problem. Even if their advice was as good as what you gave, it would have been a help, but they offered absolutely nothing.
I am otherwise happy with I-web at £5 a trade and no other charges at all, and like to keep my investments in one place. I had an account with HL and found them terrible, taking into account their charges, and have one with X-O which is a very basic service. So I'll stick as I am for now and see how it goes. Currently my investment in DGOC gives a very acceptable 8% yield, but avoiding the 30 % tax would make the yield 11%
I am sure there must be some charge from a bank to transfer an ISA to a new provider, although I can't find it in the T&C's.
I could certainly have done with your insight last year when I was finding it amazingly difficult to find out what the problem was.
