Farepak Hampers gone BUST!!

Friday 13th turned into a real horror story when I found out they went into receivership. £450 that was supposedly safe and set aside for Xmas is down the drain, The website states none of this, it's only when you phone the number that you get a recorded message basically saying - tough! I hope they can sleep well, Santa may as well bypass our house this year :mad:

Oh how awful! I don't use any hamper things myself but it's going to be sad for a lot of people this year! Is there any chance of people getting their money back?

Thanks for the link, but I read that as Findel have bought everything except Farepak.

I'm no corporate suit so if anyone can enlighten me I'd be appreciative.

Thanks

Ooops didnt meant to thanks ment quote

Anyway yes they should be safe as they arent under the trading name like Farepak are. I believe they are not related anyway, But if your unsure give them a ring or an email.

I got my vouchers from them last Saturday. But not sure if I'll use them again, this is all a bit worrying, didn't this happen to choice vouchers last year
