Advice please - still not received iPad from win on 7 August!

i'll bloody say something on her wall if she doesnt cough up!

No, I haven't received the iPad and the ASA have pretty much told me they won't do anything about it because their e-mails are getting bounced back when they try to contact Miss Gym. The only thing I can do is name and shame on her wall and hope something turns up in the end. It's Twitter and youtube that she has the most fans on so not sure if I should leave comments all over asking for my prize or what.

I'd disclose her facebook on here, maybe we can have the mse effect and shame her into giving you the prize

Edit: Just had a thought, what about small claims, you can do it all online and it only costs £25 that you get back from her if you win. I had to use it for a claim (Not comping related) and it was a breeze to do. You have all the evidence too
Good Luck!

Thanks, Daphne. I'm not sure about doing the small claims. I just want to get rid of any dealings with Miss Gym once and for all, if you know what I mean. The last message I got from her husband was on 30th October saying this:

  Hi Chris,
  It's okay. It just felt like the prize would never actually come. I hope everything is finally sorted out now. I know house moves are hard.
  I had been especially excited about the iPad because it was supposed to be here around my birthday and you can imagine my continued disappointment when it still hasn't come.
  Shall we set the date for November 14? Will you forward me the delivery details when you have them, please?
  Kind regards,
  Caroline

Of course I haven't had a response back to confirm the date but I've been receiving these same responses since I was announced the winner.

Hmmm, I think I would wait for the 14th in that case but please don't let them get away with it if it doesn't arrive. The small claims was the easiest process you could imagine, I couldn't believe it to be honest.
If you get no joy on the 14th I'd be happy to help you make a claim

Thank you, Daphne. That is very kind. I'll probably PM you on the 14th, lol.

Just noticed that missgym's blog is back up as well. She is launching a female clothing line. http://www.missgym.com/

Yes she is and is going to be seeking capital through a site for her "clothing range" this, mixed with the forum posts and the non delivery of competitions worry me a lot

wait for the 14th then start writing things on her wall -i personally think theyre just fobbing u off again but i cold be wrong

createbeauty

I think I'm just being fobbed off again as well. I have asked the ASA to try once more for me since her blog is back up and has a contact bit on the page. I'm not holding my breath though.

You might want to contact them to let them know that this is their last chance to sort it out amicably before you act on advice and start taking legal steps. If it was me, I would (as they acknowledge) emphasize how patient you have been, because you'd far rather sort this out without hassle, which is why you are giving them just one more chance to meet their obligation to you, before getting the IPC involved, and/or taking it to the small claims court.
