My husband and I received a gift card from a furniture store from the seller of our home in September 2004. Since we did not use it, when we sold our home we offered it as an incentive to the buyer. Upon receiving a contract in November 2005, we called the information number and was told there was a $2,000 balance and no expiration date.
On the morning of closing we called and the same information was presented. Upon closing on our house, the buyer took possession of the card. When attempting to use it, he was told it expired in December 2004.
Speaking to the furniture store, we were told it was bought at a discounted rate and they would only credit it $1,000. The buyer is now attempting to sue us for breach of contract.
Since based on the information we had, are we in breach of contract? Is the issue between the now card hold and the store? What recourse do we have with the store?
Thank you so much for your help!
