Arrest you for stealing goods from the adminstrators.what they can do with me then? I have paid for the goods!
Read from the sun. That some people have paid 2700£ for camera and "bosses" have told em not to give the cameras to the people.
If this would happen to me, id take few good pals with me and just go and take my camera from store, when they call police, id show them the receipt of payment , what they can do with me then? I have paid for the goods!
Also all who have taken their stuff for repairs, id just go and collect em, i would not leave without my stuff, i would call cops to the store and say they have stolen my stuff.
It just cant be that dumb, that company goes under and all customers are f***d.
Still cannot see how the administrators can lay claim to goods taken in for repair.
I don't either - the kit is not theirs and I would have thought any item in for repair is either being handled under warranty with the manufacturer or by the insurance company - either way nothing to do with Jessops other than as a handler.
In any case surely the customer can ask for the item back unrepaired.
I understand the administrators not honoring sales as they are trying to do they bit for investors (I don,t agree with it at all and consider it theft but I understand it)
Out of interest if someone took out an interest free payment schedule with them for several thousands of pounds and they went bust... would that be wiped out?
I'm guessing not as it'll be with a finance company, but I thought I'd ask just in case
There is no way in hell that the administrators should be laying claim to other people's private property!! That's disgusting.

Sadly this seems to be the default approach in this country - exploitation and inequality throughout (in this case lack of information to the lower echelons of the workforce, banks and the taxman getting first share at everyone else's expense). Everyone is out for their own interests and to hell with everyone else.The sales staff in my local store found out about the chain's collapse when a customer expressed their commiserations...
That local store is only (currently) offering their normal stock at their normal (well, normal January sale) prices, so no extra bargains to be had.
So far, customer reaction has been anger (directed at the poor floor staff...) and sympathy, according to the young lady (who's off on maternity leave in 2 weeks) who took the money for a flash drive.
Simple. Your contract is with the shop you bought the item from, so you're obliged to take it back to them (for warranty claims).Out of interest, why do people go through Jessops for repairs? It would never have even occurred to me that this happens to be honest, as it's pretty easy to deal directly with manufacturers (my experience with Sigma UK for my £2k lens that needed new parts was excellent) in and out of warranty.
I appreciate people are in difficult positions with this and I'm not trying to annoy anyone stuck without their gear, it's a genuine query.

Decency doesn't prevail in administration as customers are not first in the chain to get their goods or a full refund. It's backwards.
The banks/hmrc are always first in line. They should be last. Suppliers should be next after customers to be paid out or have their stock returned. Then HMRC & banks should be last. If the company has gone bust they weren't profitable so they can't exactly be in a position to be paying taxes unless directors have taken money. Then directors need to be pursued for outstanding taxes if there has been any funny business or total incompetence going on.
I do recall there have been several comments over the years similar to "I tried it in Jessops and then bought it online lol"
Yeah "lol" indeed.
