    You're entitled to ring them! You've emailed and not had a reply. You shouldn't have to chase them, but unfortunately these days it seems to be the norm.
    Be polite but firm. Whenever I ring people for things like this ('business' type calls) I always have a pad and pen handy and jot down roughly what I'm going to say, that way I don't get tongue-tied and get my point across.
    Good luck!
    ETA: well done! So you have to wait 38 days in effect? That's downright rude. I don't understand how they can set T&C's then just do what they feel like.
    Thank you to everyone who posts comps! :A
    I would like to be lucky,healthy & happy in 2020! :T

    Thanks - i did that and got his name and asked if he was who i needed to call if it doesn't arrive in the next 10 days!

    I am just annoyed as i really need the money!!! As i splashed out on a few treats thinking i'd have that to last the month and it never arrived!

    I won at the same time as Katiekittykat and have not received my cheque or a reply to my email. Interested to see if phoning makes a difference.:rolleyes:

    Give them a call. If we both do it they might get their bums into gear! Someone else won it too on 14th and they PM'ed me i told them to call too!

    pittcity and katie,
    I phoned today on the landline number that came with the winning email and spoke to "David" apparently there is a backlog and the cheques should be sent soon.
    He said to wait until next week and if I hadn't received them to call back. (He's probably on holiday next week lol)
    I gave my name and asked if I could confirm he had the right address for me and without telling him he gave my address straight back so that to me is a good sign.

    Fingers crossed it will arrive next week....seeing as this is the only comp I have won all year I'm not going to forget about it :rotfl:

    I'll keep you guys updated.
