Victims of the Farepak Christmas saving scheme collapse have been receiving shopping vouchers this week as the £6.3m compensation fund is distributed.

According to the Department of Trade and Industry, they can expect to get about 15p for every pound they saved.

Distributed by Farepak agents, the vouchers are redeemable at 75 stores including Boots, Woolworths and Argos.

About 150,000 people are estimated to have lost a total of up to £50m when the firm went bust.


Do you have anything to say about the distribution of funds?
