Quick extended warranty question

[Kendoid]

I bought a second hand TV on gumtree 6 months ago,

the guy had bought extended warranty cover and it still had a year to run.

 

Last week the TV broke down and in the small print it stated that the warranty should have been transferred into my name at the time.

 

When I contacted the guy he said deal with it yourself "phone and pretend you're me" which I did.

The warranty group have honoured the warranty and arranged for the TV to be picked up and repaired.

 

Today I got a call saying the TV has been written off.

 

Which means I can have a replacement or vouchers I think.

 

So my question is this,

if I ask for vouchers, will they come in the other guys name or gift card.

 

My point is, I don't want to request vouchers or a gift card in someone else's name that is useless to me.

 

Thanks

ask for an equivalent telly or a voucher you can take to their preferred supplier

Vouchers/Gift Cards will generally not have a name printed on them. They're just a standard item with a barcode on them that is then registered as active on the retailer's POS system.
