Day off today,so me and my good wife spent a bit of time together in town and she decided to pop into Peacocks to spend her fourty pounds in vouchers gifts from Christmas
Well after 40 mins her trying jeans on etc we were told the that the vouchers were not being honoured by the Admin people....so i ask the manager why no sign on the window to stop people wasting there time?,the Admins wont allow it.
So i nearly walk out of the shop with the goods to the value because by now i was totally pissed off,my wife insisted i didn't :D

Should i pop into tomorow and grab the goods to the value?,or bite the bullet and be a responsible citizen :D

Be a thief leef

Why would they not take the vouchers?

They have gone into adminastration,hope to get a buyer but untill then the vouchers are not valid.

something to do with being in administration. sorry not really answered your question

Always a dodgy one with gift tokens/vouchers. They have no monetary value and their exchange for goods is at the discretion of the store and once it is in admin they are the first to be written off.

Oh.

I didn't know that

Just before Courts went into receivership a few years back, i had put down a £100 deposit on a furniture delivery. Once I found out that all outstanding orders had been cancelled i returned to the store to be told that my deposit was null and void and I would have to contact the administrators to try and return my money. In a fit of rage I grabbed a small coffee table on the way out which was for sale at the convienient price of £100. The store manager never gave chase and more surprisingly I never had a police visit. Although I was stuck with a coffee table I didnt need and later sold for £30. Still, to me it was the priciple of the matter.

A friend did similar when Bensons Beds went into admin and they were waiting for delivery of a bed.

They walked into the store, dismantled a bed, loaded it into the back of a van and drove off. The manager just stood and watched.

Cheers all....in that case i will be paying them a visit over the weekend.

haha... some brilliant little stories there! How shit is that though? We're the vouchers paid for and given as present?

Good luck.  I would do it after the game on Saturday just in case you get done for shop lifting.

Leefer, don't give them the pleasure of calling the police and having time off work for a court case. Keep hold of the vouchers and hopefully you can spend them in the future, you never know they may even give you more for the inconvenience.

Good shout Notts.

Those vouchers are a pain - companies who run them frequently seem to be going bust then the shops have to take the blame for it. Used to cause all sorts of problems when I worked in Smiths.

 :clap:

I know the manageress of a local branch, I'll ask her about honouring vouchers to see if the policies are consistent and let you know.

I understand how you feel. The new venture will have bought the stock for next to nothing and the business at a snip so the only party losing is you the customer.depending on ure criminal record then do it! If u don't have a criminal record then go get your stuff and your satisfaction !

I better spend the last of my HMV vouchers quick, they've got to be on sail for the choppy waters of bankruptcy,

Take something. They have had their money. Not your fault they pissed it up the wall!

Just a thought... under the sale of goods act an item has to be fot for purpose does it not ?
The vouchers clearly aren't

Don't do it Leefer  :no: think about your name being in the local paper for nicking some jeans.

There was an item about this on this mornings BBC Breakfast.  Apparently the administrators are not accepting vouchers.  It's one of those things where sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.  Bit of a shitter for you in this case.

But is it theft? I took the coffee table out of Courts because in my mind they had £100 of my money and failed to supply goods. Worse still they did so knowing that they were going into administration/receivership.

Yes it's theft.  I can't believe some of the comments in this thread

I can't imagine leefer would risk a criminal record for £40

Which comments would these be?

problem with this society is sometimes we just bend over and allow areselves to be fucked hard up the arse without any lube.

I would be as pissed off as the next man but losing £40 of vouchers would be a lot cheaper than the fine and embarrassment of Leefer being charged with shoplifting ladies clothes  ;) I know Leefer will do the right thing.  :no:

Dont be a thief, leef

Leefer, if you have a family birthday coming up put the vouchers in a card.  :D

If the person that bought the vouchers in the first place used a credit card you may be able to get the money back through them

Hold tight on them Leefer as they won't be in adminstration for long, according to the bbc they have been forced into administration by RBS who refused to extend their buisness loans but they are making a profit at the moment so when they change banks they will be out of administration. It is a bank owned by the tax payer who refuse to give credit to a profitable company to pay of all things their bank charges.

This is like a game of Scruples :)

Reverse your lorry through the shop window, open the doors and throw as much stuff in as you can.

Remember to gaffer tape your reg plate up

I hope they survive as over the last few years they have become quite a decent little cheaply shop

I love the Pearl Lowe collections they do! Would miss those if they went out of business.
