Warranty Registration

I bought an EBT2250 Desktop on 30 September and am experiencing great difficulty in registering it for warranty purposes.  When I try to do it online it prompts the response that  "this Service Tag cannot be processed for retail registration"  without telling me why.  It directs me to record a product transfer, which I am not happy about.  I am the first owner and do not wish to create the fiction that I have transferred the PC from myself to myself!!!  However, I have tried to do so without success.  Online registration does not recognise my telephone number and the button to continue is 'greyed out' making it impossible to complete the product transfer.  Can anyone please advise me how to proceed?   Gavin Edwards

    @ejn63​  Thanks for the reply but no - it was purchased online directly from Dell UK.  I have since received a response that my PC is now registered as mine and that the warranty has been activated so all is well - but it surely didn't need to be this difficult or for customer support to have been so disinterested.  On a lighter note the EBT2250 is performing superbly!!  :-)

    Was the system purchased other than direct from Dell?  If so, you will need to involve your seller.  If they can't explain satisfactorily why the service tag does not resolve, return the system for a refund.
