      Answered
      1. I am the owner of a two-family residential address in ***********.2. I bought the home last year, and paid for the propane that had been recently filled in the tanks by Eastern Propane, and have records showing same that the propane in the tanks had been paid for, and there were no outstanding payments owed.3. The other day I noticed that that propane tanks, supplied by Eastern Propane, had been removed from the property.4. Those tanks supplied fuel to the second unit's primary heat source. That unit has no primary heat source right now.5. No telephone, writing, postal or other communication was made. Eastern Propane has my correct and updated contact information, as we had exchanged a number of phone and emails after I purchased the property. Records can be provided which show they have my contact information. 6. I have reached out to Eastern Propane, and they have not gotten back. I can provide records to this. 7. I have filed a complaint at the ************************* and with the ************* **************************** and will likely be pursuing a civil action to recover the cost for the propane that I had purchased and which they removed. 8. Eastern Propane removed propane tanks that had fuel which had been fully paid for, on an account in good standing, in violation of ************* state law, and has not responded to any communication to attempt to fix the situation. 9. I am open to a resolution directly with Eastern Propane. However, they must respond immediately and offer a solution that adequately addresses the mistake they have made.

      Eastern propane clearly doesn't care about their customers' well being. We get 3-4 fill ups a year, almost $1000 each time, for years now... They decided because there was balance of $125 from the previous fill up they disregarded the scheduled delivery, didn't attempt to contact us and let us run out of propane in the middle of winter. I believe they do this because then they can charge me the $150 fee for an "emergency" fill up and a charge for a leak test which involves entering our home. I also found the employees on the phones to be rude and unempathetic in regards to a small balance versus no heat in the winter. They're unprofessional to say the least. They have no customer service etiquette, how embarrassing.

      Eastern Propane & Oil Response

      01/12/2024

      Eastern made several attempts to contact customer regarding their balance from their May 2023 delivery. A noticed was sent out on 11/14/2023 in regard to their delivery being held as well as an automated call on 11/15/2023. Another notice was sent on 11/23 as well as a call on 11/27. Customer also had made a commitment/promise to pay the balance by 11/17, which was not kept. It is by no means our intent for our customers to run out, however when payment terms are 30 days and a balance is 7 months old, collections attempts are made.
