if its got ARGOS on it maybe, if its got ARGOS AND the branch name/number then id say theres a good chance, i mean they cant say no if its printed in black and white infront of them.

Worth a shot

the phone has a serial no. etc and they SHOULD have records of phones sold n where so u may be ok ,
as for credit card statement aslong as u can prove u brought it there then they cannot dispute it , they may say u will have to send it to the company to see y its broke or if its repairable , then for the sake of £90 they might not bother but 1st find summit to prove u got it @ argos
