I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
I know that I have tried numerous times to receive the e-mail. However, I have not received the e-mail whatsoever, even now after you have told me that you've sent the e-mail. I have tried to call numerous times and when I do the line is always busy and I can never get through. I only have one e-mail address and I have set your domain on my white-list in order to be certain that it isn't something on my end that is causing me not to be able to receive the e-mail.Please send the e-mail. The e-mail is not being received and I don't know why. If you can contact me directly from my e-mail address on file please do so because the automated replies are not working. Also, every time I send an e-mail to [redacted] I get no reply. So, I am certain it is not an issue with the automated response.I want some personal communication. If this can't be done through e-mail let me contact you on the phone directly please.Thank you. Sincerely,
[redacted]

Dear [redacted],  It was a pleasure talking with you this afternoon.  A review of our records reflects that the certificate was not successfully delivered to our centralized mailroom. As a result, our Plan Administration Department sent a rejection letter to you asking for the original...

document.  We would like to begin the replacement procedures as soon as possible and will incur the expense to obtain a replacement bond. Please return the materials that you received to my Managers and we will start the process immediately. I offer my sincere apologies for the inconvenience that you experienced as a result of this incident.  Please contact me if you require additional information.  Nicole B[redacted] VP, Loss Securities Department

Dear [redacted],  We sincerely apologize that you did not receive the information that you have requested. I would like to provide you with a complete description of your accounts and give you the details on your employee stock plan which is handled by our affiliate AST Equity Plan...

Our Infrastructure Specialist and I have left a few messages for you to discuss this issue, as we are unable to post any detailed account information via this channel.  Please contact me directly at ###-###-#### or [redacted]

Dear [redacted],Thank you for your response regarding this inquiry.However, our review of the call logs indicates that the information provided was accurate. At no time did the representative relay information that the medallion signature guarantee was not required. We adhere strictly to the guidelines set forth by the Securities Transfer Association ("STA") and the medallion ismandatory to execute the transfer on the account.We do apologize that you have been unable to complete the transaction in a timely fashion.

Dear [redacted],We have received the complain you submitted to the Revdex.com for a response.An extensive review of our records reflects that multiple requests were submitted for cost basis information and the date of death value on the accounts. Consequently, numerous requests for cost...

basis statements were fulfilled minus the requested letter showing the value of the shares as of September **, 2014.Admittedly, our standard verification procedures were not followed and this is not the typical level of service that we aspire to. Our senior management team is continuing to investigate this incident and I assure you that we will remediate our process where necessary. Per our communication telephonically, I completed a letter providing the requested information which was sent to you under separate cover. With regards to the consolidated 1099, this document is not available since dividends were paid solely on the old accounts registered in the name of the trust. Dividends were not paid on the new accounts, there is nothing to report to the IRS. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused as a result of our actions and we hope that you will have no further cause for complaint in relation to our service.If you require further assistance please contact me directly at ###-###-#### or [redacted].Sincerely,Kelon J[redacted]Shareholder ServicesAmerican Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC

Dear [redacted],We do apologize for the delayed response.Our records indicate that we received the documents regarding the replacement of your shares on July **, 2015. The shares in one of your accounts has been replaced and is held electronically in the book entry position. An account balance statement has been sent to you via email providing the information regarding the shares. The replacement for the remaining balance of 17 shares is currently being processed and should be completed in 3-5 business days. Upon completion, a statement will also be forwarded to you via email.       If the broker is a participant in the DRS Profile system, the broker may request the shares fromAST utilizing the automated Profile system. The broker must be provided with the shareholder account number, taxpayer identification number, and the name in which the shares are registered. The broker must also be provided with the number of shares that are to be transferred. Please be advised, the broker mayrequest the shareholder send him/her a copy of the Direct Registration Statement.        If the broker is not a participant in the DRS Profile system, please write to AST at the address listed above, instructing AST to credit the brokerage account. Please include the AST account number, the name of the brokerage institution, the brokerage account number, and the number of shares that are to be transferred. The letter of instruction must be signed by all owners listed on the account registration and the signatures must be guaranteed by a bank, broker or other financial institution that is a member of a Securities Transfer association- approved medallion program such as [redacted], [redacted] or [redacted]. It would speed processing if youwould include a copy of this Direct Registration Statement. Please coordinate with your broker to ensure that they will accept share delivery via the Direct Registration system.Should you require additional information, kindly contact me directly at ###-###-#### or via email [redacted]SincerelyKelon J[redacted]Shareholder Services

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
 
 We never received ANY correspondence from this company regarding the transfer of our children's shares.  When I was notified to change my address, this company did not notify me that they transferred our stock to the State when they finally got around to an address change.  The state says that it is the company's responsibility to reinstate the children's stock shares backdated to the time they turned it over as they mishandled the transfer and did not notify us of this in any way. We discovered this by accident having assumed the stock company was handling our accounts as they were instructed to do for more than15 years.  We have been under the assumption that all was well.  Now they won't admit the error so they don't have to pay the children the dividends they are owed since Feb 2014.  We changed addresses in 2011, impossible that Co was not aware of new address across same town.
American stock & transfer needs to do the right thing and correct their mistake without me requiring an attorney to deal with this.

Dear Sir/Madam,We do apologize for the delayed response.However, we are still researching this inquiry and ask for an extension to be granted until May **, 2016 to submit a response.Regards Kelon J[redacted]

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# [redacted], and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

The company's generic response is non-specific as to when I will receive the transfer.  The documents in question were mailed to AST on April **, 2015.  I would expect that given the complaint, the company would communicate to me that the documents were received.  Here and now I am left wondering about the status.  What would be helpful is for the company to tell me something such as "...within X business days of receipt of the required documents, the transfer will be complete.." If the AST is not held to a specific deadline, I fear that they will continue the delays of the transfer for months.  This is the precise problem which I have had with them in the past.
