Is there anything I can do?

Options
I purchased a sofa from SCS on 29th December, it is being delivered on Saturday 15th March. 
When I purchased it I asked what happens if it's reduced further and was told I would pay the lower price. It was later reduced by a further £380.
Fast forward to today, when I phoned to make the final payment. I was told, in order to get the lower price, I would have had to phone them when I saw it at the lower price (on 19th January ~ I took a screenshot of it at the lower price). 
Of course I wasn't told I had to phone by the salesman! 

Is there anything I can do? Do I have any rights? I have sent off a complaint to SCS but very much doubt I will get a satisfactory response. 

Thanks

    Is there anything in writing confirming this price match policy and its terms?

    No, nothing. It was verbal. However, when I made the final payment the call handler told me they don't really expect anybody to ask for the price match, nobody really does it!
