    Did Uncle Martin promote Farepack on this website in the same way he did CCE? Hmmmmmmmm?
    I doubt it very much. From what I recall the Farepak offering was very poor value for money even it if hadn't gone bust.

    some good news today, received a cheque for GBP 356.54 from the Farepak saga.

    originally saved GBP1000.00, so guess this is better than nothing.

    also know of someone else who received the same amount today

    What has anyone else received.
    No. 83 in £365.00 in 365 days 17/365

  • Post has just come, I've received £145.98
    I originally paid in £346.00

    I was an agent and my customers lost a total of £2500 at least they will get something back, about time too!

    I got a cheque this morning from the fund.

    When it first happened there was a charity that set up an emergency response fund I think and sent out vouchers to agents I know that my agent came round with some gift vouchers at the time and told me this.
