One of the worst bits is that the firm was treating people's money as "working capital", so it was being spent rather than being put aside to pay for the cost of the hampers. The hampers aren't particularly cheap (Park Group's prices are probably pretty similar), but putting a few pounds aside a week to pay for it is better than going to somewhere like Provident where you can borrow £500 and have to pay back £800.
