Hi folks.

 

I purchased a £1500 42inch plasma telly from comet in 2005 and went for the extended total product cover warranty for 5 years. This runs out next year.

 

Now my problem... I have had to move back to my dads house for financial reasons. I have stored my plasma in the spare bedroom on the floor. While I was adding more of my things into the room the screen was accidently damaged. I havent checked to see if it still works but i do know once a plasma screen is cracked or smashed its had it. Another thing, my insurance certificate is still regisitered to my old address.

 

I'm worried that im not going to be covered since the telly was damaged at a different address as whats on my insurance certificate.

 

Another thing.. if say that I am covered, has anyone idea if I will be allowed to choose a new tv of my choice within my original purchase price or will they try and fob me off with a cheaper make and model?

 

Please help

 

Craig.

I don't know about the being damaged at a different address but surely they would only know this if you told them - perhaps be economical with the truth. I also believe it should be a like for like swap but you never know with these retail giants

free of charge.

 

yes we did as such but as the one they recommended was perfect it made no odds to me.

 

as for the place it was damaged, it makes no diff, its you that has the policy on the TV, not where you & it is.

you insured your tv againts XYZ.

the policy will not state a residing AD for the product.

you took out the policy on the TV, no matter where it is damaged.

bit like a car really, oh we'll only payout if its damaged on your drive?

Well I have just got my Plasma screen back today from Comet it had a smashed screen and they actually fixed it much to my suprise as I thought it was not possible. I also bought it in May 2005, how did you even get them to give you a new replacement one as I didn't even get that option they said they had to fix it.
