EPSON DOES NOT HONOUR THEIR WARRANTY

I bought an EPSON ink tank printer on 30 June 2024 through TAKEALOT. It has stopped functioning just more than a week ago and as it is still within the twelve month warranty period of EPSON, I approached them for assistance. They asked for proof of purchase and the serial number which I immediately supp****. Since then I had many communications from their customer service department asking many questions and keeping on asking for documents I already supp**** but I rep**** to all of this. They kept on shifting the goalposts. At one stage they alleged there were two resellers and I asked them to explain this. I never got a reply. Then yesterday they told me the printer is out of warranty although I only had it for seven months. I asked them to prove this but did not get a reply. Now this morning, they again requested an invoice which I had already given them. My conclusion is that EPSON has no intention of honouring their warranty and is trying to frustrate me to the point of me abandoning the matter. This printer works OK (when it works) but beware, you are NOT going to have success if you have a warranty claim. And if EPSON do perhaps reply to this complaint, please do not insult me by coping y and pasting a standard reply as they do with other complaints. I need a solution to this impasse
