It is the responsibility of Samsung to fix the TV under their 1 year warranty. That is in the fine print of your extended service plan - which is just that - extended beyond 1 year. That is why you appear to be getting the runaround from HHG and the administrator. Call/contact Samsung if you haven't done already. Your extended plan would have taken over in year 1 ONLY if the mfr refused to fix it if they diagnosed a failure due to power surge - which itself would be very rare.
Do yourself a favor and cancel the plan - a minimum you can get a prorated refund.
If no one steps up to repair, contact the GA Division of Consumer Affairs, usually an off shoot of the AGs office.
