Title: A win, not a win, now a "re-win"
Post by: reet57 on Saturday 20 March 2010, 11:21:01 pm
Some months ago, I won $1000 worth of free electricity from Jackgreen Energy, my most useful win ever  :D a while after our first bill, we were informed that the company was going into liquidation  :( Our new provider informed us it was nothing to do with them. Jackgreen didn't answer the phone for about a week but finally hubby got on and we were assured that the money would be credited into our account. After 6 weeks of constant toing and froing, the money is in our account tonight  :D :D

Many thanks to the karma gods  :D :D :D

Congratulations. However, I wonder if the level of stress that you may have been feeling was adequately compensated by $1000. I have been waiting more than 1 year for part of a prize.

Thanks for the congrats guys, certainly a weight off my mind.  :D

snuggle, I'm one that hates confrontation and am not very good with words ( hence my abject failure at wol  :D) therefore got hubby onto it. He's had quite a few successes over the years chasing up" injustices" such as this- he enjoys telling people he got money out of Harry M. Miller  :D As for stress, the thrill of the win  negates any of it and our household is doubly happy as we contemplate increased rates :D

I'm sorry you have had to wait a year, maybe I can rent hubby out to you  :lol: :lol:

Thats very awesome! Congratulations to you!!! I've been waiting for a $400 car cover for about 6 months now and I emailed them a billion times and all they kept saying was it's a real competition and they will send it but I've given up
