Am I just over suspicious in thinking that Jessops decided to go into liquidation immediately after the busiest shopping time of the year, Xmas? I mean all of those unfulfilled orders and unusable gift cards that they have pocketed large amounts of peoples hard earned cash from - a report on another forum mentions there being over £800,000 in now worthless Jessops gift cards floating around. As a reporter stated it amounts to "legalised theft" - heads should roll!

I'm glad haven't got any Jessop or HMV vouchers, although I did lose £50 when Clintons went. (It was a voucher that I got as a present, which I was going to put towards a helicopter experience flight). In view of the current happennings, I would think twice before buying a voucher for anywhere!

HMV will now accept gift vouchers

Post by Paul Jones »

21 January 2013

HMV will accept gift vouchers

The administrators of HMV have said that the music and DVD retailer will start accepting gift vouchers in stores from Tuesday.

Deloitte had previously said that gift cards could not be redeemed in stores, leading to anger among many customers.

Deloitte said it was able to honour the vouchers after assessing HMV's financial position.

Meanwhile, restructuring specialist Hilco has emerged as the frontrunner to save HMV, reports say.
