My Ielts results delayed.... Did anyone experience this?

I took my exam on 30 May 2015 and the results was supposed to release on 12th of June. However, on 11th of June, I received an email from IDP starting "Strict quality control procedures are in place to protect the integrity and security of the IELTS test. As part of these procedures, test results are routinely analysed by the IELTS Test Partners before they are issued to candidates....."
I did not receive any warning or notice from examniers during my test. I never did any malpractive!!!!!I really do not understand why they hold my result.
It was my 4th attempt to get band 6.
After the test of 30May, I was quite confident about the result because I felt that I did extremely well in the reading and the listening while I struggled in the writing section. Because of their reassessment of my test, I'm really worried that this time also they would make me fail in one section. Is there anyone who experience this unfair situation ? I have been waiting my result for 3 weeks. It is really frustrating. If I failed this time as well, I should book the next exam to get band 6 as soon as possible. I really want to get my result. I'm just wasting my time by waiting the result....
Is this good or bed omen? I've already contacted to the customer service but their truly and extremely unkind staff just said to me that wait untill they reply through email.
Any advice? Or experience?

Hello!
There seems to be a suspicion that some materials were leaked prior to the test. IELTS will be checking whether the results for that version are substantially different from previous results and pre-testing results. They are also likely to check the scores for candidates who have taken the test before, again to see if these are substantially different.
Your results are very unlikely to be affected by all this - unless you are guilty, which I doubt.
Let me know what happens.
All the best,
David

Thanks for the info david. Good to hear something atleast. I will visit british council in some days and will post if i hear anything useful. I live in Nepal and took the test from India for faster results, if all this is going to affect my results its going to be very troublesome. I hope things get sorted out normally. Seems like i am going through real bad luck here. ! :(
