Real People Competition

I received a letter from Real People at end of June saying I had won £100 from an Issue 22 competition. It says it could take some time to receive my cheque and asked me to be patient but surely 3 months is a bit excessive.! How long have other compers waited and how can I contact them as there are no contact details on the letter?
2014 Wins - Chocs, Koala, Toiletries, Alton Towers Tickets, Budweiser Glass, Pizza, Dress, Canvas x 2, Hamper, Toucan Box, Specs, DVD, Baby Bouncer, Wine, £100 M&S Voucher, Easter Activity Pack, Nappy Cream, Men’s Shoes, Lindt Bunny, £50 Tesco Voucher, Ella's Kitchen Snacks
TOTAL VALUE = £732 :j

Hi, i once won with them about 3 years ago and it did take a long time, 3 months was about the right timescale, i emailed them at the time and it made no difference at all, although they were very nice in the email0

Hi i got a letter from Real People dated 28th June this year for a £250 win from issue 22 also. I received my cheque about 6 weeks later dated 4 August. I would consider chasing it up if i were you as it may have got lost in the post. Details on my letter incase my address details were wrong were:- tel 02073394471 or email: stephen.foreman@hearst.co.uk. Hope you get it sorted soon0

I won the comp a couple of years ago. The cheque never did arrive but when I emailed they said already sent, so they cancelled & did a bank transfer instead.
Mine was the postcard comp.0
