I've just had an interesting call with Domestic and General, a company that provides breakdown insurance for electrical goods. They already cover our white goods and the subject got around to televisions. They asked what I had (it's a Panasonic FZ802) and was it still under warranty? I told them I already had cover with the JL five year warranty, but as she rightly pointed out that was for mechanical breakdowns only. She was able to offer me cover for breakdowns and accidental damage for £6.50pm on an open rolling contract which I can cancel at anytime. I asked her if D&G policies covered screen burn and permanent image retention and she said without hesitation, yes they do. Screen burn is covered as they class it as a 'mechanical breakdown.' I asked if there was anywhere I could see that in writing and she assured me it was in the policy documents and that in any case, the call was being recorded so the fact that she said screen burn is covered is a matter of record.
I've got to admit, I was surprised that they'd cover it and am taking what she said with a pinch of salt. But she was said SB is definitely covered so I'm tempted to take a punt on a Policy and if I'm not satisfied with the cover detailed in the policy I can always cancel.
Thoughts, anyone?
