Re: Thats HMV going as well!
Some people feel their vouchers should be taken as payment http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...e_name.article

So all the grandparents on pensions who bought HMV vouchers in December, and thought £40 was an awful lot for a 6 year olds xmas present, but that's what these computer games cost, have now lost their money. It's no different to ordering something mail order, then the company goes bust, or booking a holiday without ATOL cover, but you can see why people would be upset. |

Re: Thats HMV going as well!
The difference IMO is that this company is still there and still trading (even under administration)
If HMV had shut it's doors then that would be one thing but it hasn't, It's still happy to take our money just not to fulfil its other obligations. I bet If I somehow owed it money it wouldn't be happy with me no longer wanting to pay. |

Re: Thats HMV going as well!
Vouchers are worthless. I feel sorry for all the kids/grandparents who received/gave vouchers this christmas. I agree they should have stopped selling vouchers, but know why they didn't. They are unsecured credit notes. By not honouring them they are defaulting on their debt. But they are already in default, so don't care about that.
Everything for a retailer like that hangs on Christmas. They probably breached covenants back in november, and the creditors waited until the christmas sales period had finished to call administration, as they would recover more money not having a fire sale in december. I reckon there will be more names going bust in the next few weeks. |
