Wrong Company Title

[ale]

Anyone care to guess where the problem lies?-

I have bought into Costain (COST.L) and appear to have the correct allocation.
However, the title allocated is for Costco Wholesal (COS.L)

How do I get this changed (or do I need to)?

.. and I'm still not sure what company I have here. The values differ somewhat from those for Costain found from other sources. In fact, I don't know how I have any allocation here since neither company is now found in the search function or charting!

. and having got fed up with it I decided to sell only to find that I cannot do so since it doesn't exist !!!!!!!!

What does your broker say?

This is only the Share Competition, so no broker.
Basically I tried to set a £10k buy for Costain Group (COST.L).
Somehow the shares got allocated but with the epic COST. and the title of COSTCO Wholesale (whose epic is COS.L)
The quoted prices etc within my competition portfolio do not correlate with either company although it is close to Costain. So I have wrong epic, company and some strange shares.
Trying to get out of this I thought that I would sell but I only get the message that the company does not exist.
Looks like I am stuck with them until the end of the competition.

NOPE - it finally let me sell.
Still no idea what the company was!

Yes COST is a Nasdaq stock which yrade at a very similar price to the COST.L, with the exception of the fact that one is priced in $$ and one in ££

That explains it - thank you
