    I won recently, sent them my bank details, then after 28 days, having not received the prize checked my sent messages and realised I had sent wrong bank sort code, I emailed Sharna who got it sorted quickly, my fault but they dealt with it and I got my payment.

    I won on the 5th June and my £50 went in today. Hopefully others has gone in too.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    Double check the bank details - assuming they are correct tell them you have done so and there is definitely no payment from them - say you have been very patient but if payment is not received within the next 7 days you will have to involve the ASA.

    You
    Afternoon Janet,

    manage to get this sorted, there had been a glitch in the system holding up a few payments but i can confirm that payment will be processed early next week, with a view for funds to appear in your account a few days after .


    still no cash if not in by Monday I am going to ASA for help

    In fairness to The Sun they have paid money to a bank account you supplied the details for, now it seems you gave them the wrong details so heavens knows where the money has gone and whether they can retrieve it. They will probably have to try and do a trace on the payment and unfortunately these things take time.



    Without wishing to sound harsh I think involving the ASA at this stage puts you in a bad light as you supplied wrong details and The Sun need to try and rectify your mistake.


    I understand your frustration that you just want the money you won (wouldn't we all !!) but I think a little more patience is needed here. Keep in contact with them to see how they are progressing and hopefully a resolution will be quick.
