Scootz,
all may not be lost, they were talking of this on BBC news this morning.
Apparently the purchaser of vouchers bought with debit or credit cards can claim a refund.
More details on Paul Lewis's Moneybox programme on radio 4 at 12 o clock today

I'm much more concerned about the 1,370 people who don't have a job and the families that may depend on them

I know its annoying, but they only owe you £100, they owe other groups thousands, and these groups get money first because they're owed more and
probably own the stock anyway. These groups are banks and other institutions, that at some level will be linked to all of us, them not getting the
money back could well effect huge numbers of people, which is what happened with the subprime mortgages (Obviously this isn't on that scale).

Thieving bastards! I don't believe for a second that they didn't know it was all going tits-up pre-Xmas, but they kept selling the
vouchers!
Yeah, but their way of trying to avoid going boobs up is to sell more vouchers. Can't win.

At work we have a portal that gives you discount on gift cards (5% @ JS & Asda, 6% @ M&S, 8% @ B&Q etc). You get the discount when you
top-up the card online e.g. £100 of credit added to a JS card costs you £95, and you keep the card an just top it up as and when required. Really
usefull way of saving money on everyday shopping, plus you also earn ponts on online shopping 
I would not buy a HMV card though....

That's me too, my concerns lay entirely with the above. That's 1,370 people who will be in a stressed situation, for quite while. Some
will be frantically be looking at the benefits system to pay the greedy landlord, with little security if it all goes wrong. If they have no children,
they're probably looking at not having shelter. I've been here, not nice.
Buy some Carpetright, Clinton Cards or Other (enter your struggling retailer here) vouchers at your peril and risk.
I'm expecting some more retailers to fall away, as the greedy Landlords and the escalating Business Rates hit them at the end of Q1 and Q2.
