We asked 1,000 consumers who should compensate out-of-pocket customers
Three-quarters of the British public believe that Farepak's directors should compensate its 150,000 customers, according to an ICM poll conducted for Retail Week.
Farepak's parent company European Home Retail, chaired by Sir Clive Thompson, collapsed last month. The Farepak Response Fund has extended the deadline for donations to November 29, after it received only£4.9 million - well short of its£10 million target.
The latest contributors are Findel (£250,000) and Jessops (£10,000), joining Tesco, Sainsbury's, Boots, Asda and Usdaw.
Separately, administrator BDO Stoy Hayward said customers are only likely to receive 4p to 5p for every£1 they paid in.
