      We were notified our tank rental was increasing from $150 to $600 annually! When cancelling our agreement, they picked up our tanks even though they had clearly indicated in an email ********** that we would be given a pick-up date, which they did not. This left us without service. *** ****** ******* would not cover the cost of a service call to repair our fireplace that we incurred due to their lack of communication.

      I cancelled my account (No *******) with Superior Propane on August 22, 2023 by an email. The last propane delivery was in October 2022, was paid in full including a tank rental for 2023.
      The tank was returned on August 3, 2023.
      The invoices for the 2024 tank rental keep coming, plus interest. I email, i call to get the promise that it would be cancelled and nothing makes a difference to stop this **********. The last invoice from superior is dated March 4, 2024.

      I want a confirmation that the account was cancelled and I that i have no outstanding amounts owing.

      This problem has started since Superior Propane took over ******** propane and they installed a satellite On to our tanks. We have since run out of propane three times since Superior has taken over. We have experienced a strong smell of propane in the home to the point where I woke up very dizzy. I called Superior the first time this happened and the satellite was reading the tanks inaccurately it was more than 48 hours before we received propane and had no heat in the house. After we were filled with propane I called back Superior Propane asking maybe the satellite should be checked they advised me that they would and low and behold a few months later we ran out of propane again with the same outcome smell of propane dizziness and another 48 hours without heated in our home which this is our soul Heating. Today is December 26th 2023 same issue called Superior Propane said that my tanks were at 95% which in fact walking out the one tank was completely empty the other tank is just below 20% they cannot fill me up until January 3rd we will not have enough propane until then to heat our home I again asked maybe the satellite should be checked and said someone will get back to me. So this will be now 6 days without heat I will be contacting our local news station chex television letting them know how Superior Propane is lacking and leaving a family without heat after doing my due diligence to correct the issue in regards to the satellite to be repaired so I can get properly scheduled propane fill ups as everyone else.

      This company owes me over $2000 because I was on equal billing and I decided I no longer want their services. I have called to ask when I will be refunded many times. They keep telling me they don't know. They are busy. ******* **** ***** ******* ** ***** **** **** ******* **** *** **** ** **** **** ***** ***** **** *****  I don't want to wait a year for this money or even months. It's been well over a month since they've collected thier tanks from me which also had 30% of propane left in them . So money owing is even more than the $2065.

      I have a signed contract with Superior Propane dated October 3 2022. They agreement was to come to my property take my ****** ********* tank away and provide their tank and fill it. A site visit was scheduled and they didnt show up after I took the day off to be there at their request. I made calls and they hadnt even scheduled the visit. Another day was set and again they didnt show up. They came the next day when I was at work. My tank was getting low so I called again to schedule the fill. They came and told me they needed a boom truck and would again have to reschedule. I called yesterday to ensure they were coming and was told i would get a call back to confirm. They didnt call back. So i waited today. Got a call at 1 pm to tell me they wouldnt be able to provide service. I am almost out of propane and panicking. I have a contract and this has taken more than a month for them to tell me they are not coming. I have no back up heat. * **** ** **** **** ** ** **** ** ***** *** **** *******

      We determined that there are safety concerns with this
      customer’s location which prevent us from having the ability to install a tank
      or reliably and safely deliver propane during the winter season.  We have
      discussed these concerns with the customer.

      Company misses delivery dates, now refuses to give a new delivery date and tank is not likely to last past long weekend.
      Company will not allow cancellation of contract until a specific amount of propane is purchased but they refuse to deliver propane so there is no way to meet the required amount.

      Only option is to let their tank run out without delivery* **** **** **** ** ** ****** ** ***** *** *********

      On hold for hours at a time. Won’t return customer service emails or “scheduled” calls.

      I terminated and cancelled with Superior Propane just a few days prior to when the automatic renewal would take place. When I contacted them to inform them that they could come and retrieve their tank which was rented from them, they advised me that they would charge me $250 to do so. I told them * **** **** **** *** ****** ** I had cancelled at the appropriate time and this is the charge associated with early termination which was not the case. Instead they just rephrased it as the tank removal charge. I asked for escalation *** *** **** ***** they came back with was to still charge me $125.00. * ** *** *** *** I ****** have to pay for them to come and retrieve their own equipment for which I paid ******* to rent from them. Come collect the tank their expense; cancel the $125.00 charge to me. **** **** ******* ************ ** ** * ****** ****** ** *** ** **** * ******* ** ******* ** ***** ****** ******* **** ** *** **** ** ********** ** ** * *******

      We have reviewed this situation and are working with this customer to address their concerns.  The charge in this case was not for early cancelation, and we regret that this was the information the customer received.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: I have heard nothing from Superior Propane. They cannot claim they are working with me (the former client) when they have not taken any steps, to my knowledge, to reach out to discuss further. I remain firm that no further charges be levied towards me and since the tank has now been removed from my property, this should bring this matter to a conclusion.
