    You will probably find the money in your account before you get a letter confirming it.

    This is an old thread you've posted on and the person you've quoted hasn't returned since August 2021. It can take a few weeks to receive any money that's owed. First they need to recalculate your past statements to work out exactly how much they owe you. Once this is done you'll receive a letter onto your journal telling you how much exactly they owe.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
