you didn't buy from them so unless the person you bought from had authority to transfer the guarantee to you then legally you can't do anything. Was it a business you bought from? If so you need to go back to them and get them to sort it, if not try asking if they still have the reciept"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/10991207","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"LoveHearts"},"datePublished":"2011-04-03T15:12:07.000Z","text":"The person might have bought the item from an auction and if that's the case then it might have had a sticker on it saying sold as scrap.
