    That's the bit I don't get.

    How are you supposed to find them after the thread disappears from the main board?

    From Toni's post in the last thread.
    I had this situation with 2 companies recently, both had, had 2 emails so the third email i sent was a little different.

    I stated the same to both, " Having to contact
    for a third time regarding my prize win of ..., makes me feel very awkward, as what was a fun, excited feeling has now been turned to bitter disappointment, therefore to save myself from any further embarrassment i'm contacting the ISP to chase this up on my behalf."

    Both within 2 hours had emailed me, one of those had ignored me since november, and both wins arrived within 5 days.

    Good luck xxx

    This is the relevant section from the Coming Guide:

    7 What happens if my prize doesn’t turn up?
    This is going to be individual to each comp. Usually it will state in the T & C for each comp how long it should take for the prizes to be dispatched to winners. As a general rule though or in the absence of any particular details in the T & C, allow 28 days, (allow more if we are experiencing postal strikes or extreme weather conditions). If the prize hasn't arrived by then, get in touch with the company offering the prize. Try to contact the person whose details you have & ask politely if there is a problem with delivery. A telephone call is the best way, but failing that try emailing them. If they don't reply, look on the original website for contact details & contact them, again being as polite as you can.

    If you still get no response from them, there are a few different things you can try.

    The Institute of Sales Promotions [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL] lay down the guidelines which comp organisors must follow. MSE Compers have reported that they are very good at investigating dodgy comps & missing prizes with one chap in particular [EMAIL="edwinm@isp.org.uk"]Edwin Mutton[/EMAIL], being an absolute star.

    The Advertising Standards Authority have an online complaints form.

    I had an issue with a prize not turning up & after chasing politely for 5 months, I mentioned that I had been advised to talk to the Institute of Sales Promotions about the matter. Funnily enough that resulted in a letter of apology within a few days, along with a box of ‘Apology Goodies’ & my prize turned up 2 weeks later. Just remember to keep your cool & remain polite.
