Advice please

Hi I hope I've put this in the right place but could really do with some advice.

I received a wem to inform me I had won a shower worth £1500 on the 6th Nov and the manufacture would contact me in due course. I have heard nothing from Mira, I've tried calling and emailing the magazine the who ran the competition but no one is taking ,my calls or replying to the emails. I have also done a little investigating and the shower is actually worth nearer £500. What should my next move be.

I really hate to sound so ungrateful as a wins a win but had hoped to be able to sell it to pay for Xmas.

Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear about your bad comping experience (don't worry about sounding ungrateful; if they say you've won a prize, you should get a prize ). Have a look at VelvetGlove's excellent guide to comping, especially post #6, the bit on 'What happens if my prize doesn't turn up?':

I hear the ISP are particularly good at chasing up prizes and I wonder if it may also be worth mentioning the variation in prize value to them (or to The Advertising Standards Authority)...?

Good luck!
