The Heartbreaking Delay of Care Home Funding Due to Lost Cheques
Tuesday, 13 August 2024, 06:00
Overview of the Situation
Last year, my 83-year-old husband entered a care home, and we were left to self-fund his care.
Urgent Need for Funds
As our finances dwindled, I made the decision to sell shares through Equiniti, raising £14,720. However, the cheque for these funds never reached me.
Multiple Lost Cheques
- Three cheques reported as sent by Equiniti failed to arrive.
- The company promised to investigate, but their response time extended up to 15 days.
- Repeated requests were made for a bank transfer, which were refused.
A Heartbreaking Conclusion
Sadly, my husband passed away on Boxing Day without the funds that were desperately needed.
