Why do I lose a warranty claim because I can't find a receipt from 14 months ago?
The average household holds thousands of dollars in items under warranty, but claims fail for missing proof of purchase and most warranties simply expire forgotten.
Who has it: Households and consumers managing appliances, electronics, and big-ticket purchases.
Evidence
“A 2020 consumer report found that nearly 42% of warranty claims fail due to the absence of valid documentation.”
