    Mimijane - No I've not re-sent the email I sent to him on 1 August but will do.

    Chelle - When I sent the reply on 1 August, I didn't get another reply from him saying that the prize would be sent out, but I wasn't really expecting one.

    The thing that is most annoying is that it was a decent prize and something I had intended going out to buy so would have saved me over £100 quid

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time
  • Go to your "sent box", print a copy of firstly the sent box in its entirity and then the actual email you sent, as well as the WEM and other correspondance since and send it via recorded delivery to him.

    And if that doesn' work, follow the advice in the compers guide -

    "If you still get no response from them, there are a few different things you can try.

    The Institute of Sales Promotions [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL] lay down the guidelines which comp organisors must follow. MSE Compers have reported that they are very good at investigating dodgy comps & missing prizes with one chap in particular [EMAIL="edwinm@isp.org.uk"]Edwin Mutton[/EMAIL], being an absolute star.

    The Advertising Standards Authority have an online complaints form. "

    Hang on. Isn't that only 21 days anyway? Is he saying he's actually sent the prize out? If that's the case he didn't allow you the full 21 days to reply.

    It's only been like 21/22 days so i don't see how he could have given it to some1 else, unless it was today or yesterday he did that? I would forward him the email you sent and say you are dissappointed this has happened as you did reply etc. Good luck.
