You are correct. You must call your brokerage to repair it.

I've had this problem a few times. Calling my brokerage (Ameritrade), I told the representative that an apology wasn't enough, that I wanted some commission-free trades. He happily offered ten or fifteen and I doubled the number, figuring he could counter with something more reasonable. I made out like a bandit and the broker was glad to clean things up.

You won't have any trouble as this is a brokerage responsibility. You should not be going elsewhere to resolve it as only the brokerage is positioned to manage this issue.

Good luck!

Looks like they did change it. Here is what my Tdameritrade account say:

Ex-dividend date
Amount
Record date
Pay date
September 1, 2017
$0.20
August 29, 2017
September 5, 2017

I sold it on August 24 myself(post is still up for reference) because I was up enough not to be concerned about the dividend thinking 9/25 was X date.

It was a double dividend for two quarters probably the reason for confusion and change?
