Jessops Set To Go Into Administration
Re: Jessops Set To Go Into Administration
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!

Re: Jessops Set To Go Into Administration
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!

Ditto. My daughter has lost out as she has some HMV gift vouchers which are now worthless.

HMV will now accept gift vouchers
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.
