    After 6 months the onus is on you to prove the item is inherently faulty.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    If you bought it online have you not still got your confirmation email? You wouldn't have had a hard copy receipt that got lost in a house move would you?

    You need some proof of purchase. So for example a bank statement if for whatever reason you can't find the email.

    However as said above, the onus is on you to prove the fault is not down to wear and tear or misuse by getting an independant report. If Currys are sticking to their minimum legal requirements then you will need to go down this avenue.
