  • Hmmmm - considering they were Farepak's bankers, £2 mil seems like a drop in the ocean for offering as compensation.........they could have offered a *lot* more........

    Also, does anyone know if people can claim from both sainsburys and john lewis? Saw this in the article above:
    In another effort to help, High Street firms Sainsbury's and John Lewis have agreed that Farepak customers can get 25% of the value of their savings in vouchers for their stores.

    :confused:

    Remember the MoneySaving mantras!

    IF YOU'RE SKINT......
    Do I need it? Can I afford it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?

    IF YOU'RE NOT SKINT......
    Will I use it? Is it worth it? Can I find it cheaper anywhere else?
