Who do I contact about wins not recieved

I have 4 wins from the same company 2 were won over 3 months ago & 2 about a month ago. I've emailed them 3 times with no reply so just wondering who I should contact next & what I need to say :confused:

I would usually just let it go but one of the prizes won a month ago is worth a few hundred so really need to follow it up, I'd usually give them longer than a month but with all the prizes being from the same comp site its not looking hopeful

Thanks
Laura
Thanks to everyone that posts :T:money:

    Was it from Great Competitions Laura?? I found out a couple of weeks ago by accident I had won a prize with them in June which I had never received. Sent them an email which was never replied to. I found a phone number and rung someone about it, explained the situation, was told that the "wrong winner's list was put on the website" but they would try to sort out a prize for me. It arrived the following week :D

    Yes it was great competitions, the main one I'm worried about was a prize that was won in October so not that long ago but 2 of them are from June/July

    Apparently, in June they (the people who arrange the dispatch of prizes) were given different winners names from those printed on the website :confused:
    My mum was also on a winner's list from July but as this was only a very small prize she did not chase it up.

    I will try to find the number for you ....... give me a couple of mins.

    EDIT:

    This number (0207 437 9011) was the one I rang for my prize which was with either Mother & Baby or Pregnancy & Birth. I don't know if they cover the other magazines on GC website. You can give them a ring and ask but just say that your name was on a winner's list and you haven't received your prize.

    I have today found my name on the GC winners list again for a comp in October which I have not received so will see if this one turns up......... surely they can't have been given the wrong winner's list again !!!

    HTH
