I purchased a Toshiba Sattelite laptop back in 2006 along with an extended warranty. When I asked about the warranty the salesman said warranty begins after manufacturers warranty ends. He also stated that accidental coverage is included with the warranty, meaning and i quote him " If you ever spill anything on the laptop or drop it and it breaks, the warranty company will replace it."

Well a couple weeks ago I dropped my laptop and know it does not want to start. I called the company that provides the warranty and explained to them what had happened, that I dropped my laptop and that it wasn't working anymore. The person I spoke to asked for the ticket number so i gave it to him. He then stated " I'm sorry sir but the warranty you purchased does not cover accidental coverage." I then told him that it did, I explained to him that when I asked about the warranty, the salesman said that accidental coverage was a part of the warranty I was going to purchase.

Well know I have a broken laptop and the warranty i bought is worthless. The whole reason I bought the warranty was for the accidental coverage which was supposed to be included but wasn't. I feel I was lied to to purchase some warranty that was not needed just so that the salesman could get more $$$ for his sale. The price for the insurance was 299.99, thats almost half the price of the laptop itself.

Circuit City has been out of business for a few months now. What's the point in posting about them ?? And, yes, the salesman lied to you.

Why?

AUTHOR: Hugh Jass - Franklin (U.S.A.)

Why didn't you read the agreement before you bought the warranty? This is your fault, not the salesman. Few if any extended warranties cover accidental damage.

Fault.

AUTHOR: Flynrider - Phoeix (U.S.A.)

It's the salesmans fault for lying about the warranty coverage (which I don't doubt happened). But ultimately it's the OP's fault for not bothering to read what he was paying $300 for.

I guarantee you, if I'm paying $300 for a piece of paper, you can be sure I'm going to take the time to read it.
