Choice Gift Vouchers in Receivership

[Tinkabell]

My mum was going to treat me to a new outfit today at Peacocks as she had some choice vouchers left from crimbo. When we got to the till we was told they cannot accept them as choice vouchers have gone in receivership. I was totally amazed as only just ordered some with home farm hampers the previous nite.

Apparately, if you have any you can get them exchanged via whichever company you bought them from. I am really annoyed as I have over £3,000 worth of orders for these vouchers from friends and neighbours and home farm did not even contact me to say you could no longer use them.

Thought I would post this for anyone who has these vouchers or is saving for them for this christmas so they can contact who they are saving with.

I cant believe they never contacted you to tell you! My nan is an agent and they phoned her last week.They also said they would replace any that her customers hadnt used up at christmas.I'm not sure what they will be replacing it with but if we are'nt happy we can have cash instead.

Took ages to get through to them but did finally, my mum is going to get her money back for the vouchers that she has from last year. They have said we can have our money back if we dont want the new vouchers that they are getting.

Feel better now I have spoken to them, was just annoyed at the way I found out. The good thing is mum said she will still buy me the outfit when she gets the money.

I saw an email at work from head office about this - it came down yesterday though I didn't know that we took them it seemed some branches did
