      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      We moved into a home that had an underground 1,000 gallon propane tank installed by Proulx Oil & Propane. We received a new customer welcome packet and the company began filling our propane tank for 2 years. On the second year, we received an unexpected charge on our account of $1,138.00 for "minimum use charge" as our tank fills did not properly line up with their billing calendar and during that time we did not exceed what was considered 'minimum use' of 1000 gallons of propane. 1) We were never made aware of, nor signed a contract that stated, that this was a practice of the company to charge for goods and services not delivered. 2) A second fill request made by us during the pay period was declined by the company, which would have meant that our usage did exceed the 'minimum use'. They claimed the tank fill level was 'not low enough' to warrant a refill. So on two accounts, this fee must be waived. We have reached out to the company twice and have been told they will have someone 'in management' look at this and contact us, and they have not done so.

      When we bought our home, we had an unlabeled propane tank that we had to do some research to verify who it belonged to. Once we found out it was Proulx's, we contacted them for service. We were then hit with a hard credit check, which affected our credit score. Contacted customer service multiple times, who all told us this was "normal" practice they do on all their customers. Verified with other propane companies this was not normal practice as a typical propane bill will only run a few hundred dollars and may possibly run a soft credit check, which wouldn't affect credit scores. No empathy towards the customer (us) on any of the calls. Quickly cancelled service and switched companies for a much better experience.

      As a prior standard practice Proulx Oil & Propane required credit checks for new accounts. This customer had three credit checks pulled for various reasons in a nine-month period and stated that the Proulx Oil & Propane credit check was the third to be pulled and the reason their credit score fell one hundred ten points. While a hard inquiry does impact credit scores, it typically only causes them to drop by about five points, according to credit-scoring company FICO®.
