The risk of being left out of pocket if a company fails is not the only pitfall as Cathy Palmer found when her good intentions failed to bear fruit.<\/p>\n
++ If you’ve been affected by this issue or feel you’ve been a victim of injustice, please contact consumer champion Maisha Frost on <\/i><\/b>maisha.frost@express.co.uk<\/i><\/b> She came to Crusader after choosing to treat her husband with £450 that a friend owed her and was now repaying.<\/p>\n “My husband had been wanting an Apple watch so I asked her for Apple Store gift vouchers,” says Cathy.<\/p>\n Once received she quickly redeemed them following instructions on the back of the card.<\/p>\n What is happening where you live?

What the friend had sent was a credit for Apple’s mobile apps used with its operating systems. These cost in the main a couple of £s compared to the high value watches, phones and computers available through its store option.<\/p>\n “It would take forever to realise the value through the apps,” Cathy despaired. <\/p>\n “I explained the mistake to Apple, they said they did offer an exchange but, after a review of my case, said it was not possible. Basically I’ve lost over £400 which is a lot to me.”<\/p>\n But could it dig deep and help Cathy, we asked Apple and the answer is ‘yes’ she has been told. <\/p>\n “I’m so pleased to be getting a refund,” she said. “I’m going to tread very carefully with any gift voucher from now on.”<\/p>\n (Cathy’s name has been changed)<\/p>\n
