    Struggling HMV Calls In Administrators


    Deloitte has been called in to act as administrator to HMV in a move which puts more than 4000 jobs at risk.

    HMV has thrown in the towel after years of struggling to fend off nimbler rivals by calling in administrators in a move which puts more than 4,000 jobs in jeopardy.
  • If they don't accept vouchers anymore is there anything we can do!? They shouldn't have been selling them in the first place at Christmas time knowing this! My other half got about £50 for Christmas!

    Don't bother, if they are, there's no guarantee orders would be sent out and you'd risk losing more money. I don't think HMV ever accepted their own vouchers online.
  • I spent my gift card last week, still had £2 on though. Oh well

    The advice has been given countless times on here, but it bears repeating. Don't buy gift vouchers and if you receive them, spend them immediately or risk losing them

    Yet another good chain of high-street shops gone. There will only be clothes shops, shoe shops and chaity shops left at this rate.
