      The consumer complaint filed by *** **** has been forwarded to the Ferrellgas Legal Department
      for investigation and comment. I have completed my investigation, talked to the relevant field
      personnel, and offer the following response:
      A review of *** ****’s consumer account reveals he commenced services with Ferrellgas in
      October 2021 and leases a 250-gallon propane container.
      *** ****** concerns relate to an untimely propane delivery.
      A review of this customer’s account indicates that *** **** placed his propane order in late
      February 2023. Upon ordering the customer reported that he had 30% remaining in his tank. As
      you are likely aware, *** ****’s area has experienced extreme winter weather resulting in high
      propane demand as well as making road conditions and availability to access the customer’s
      residence a major factor. Ferrellgas must make prudent judgment calls regarding the risks
      involved in sending our personnel out onto roads that are less than favorable. Our Customer
      Agreement for Propane Sales and Equipment Rental (“Agreement”), to which *** **** is a party
      to, states: “We may refuse to provide service if we believe we cannot safely make delivery due to
      conditions on or approaching your property…”. Ferrellgas made multiple attempts to deliver ***
      ****** order; however, due to the condition of the access road, those attempts were unsuccessful.
      On March 20, 2023, the access road had dried sufficiently enough for our bobtail truck to safely
      drive and *** ****’s propane order was delivered. Our records indicate that he had 15% propane
      remaining upon delivery.
      Ferrellgas strives to provide best in class customer service and we sincerely regret that *** ****
      did not feel he received a level as such. Ferrellgas drivers and customer service are working hard
      to accommodate each customer request as quickly as possible. *** ****’s complaint has been
      forwarded to the relevant field personnel.
      Thank you for bringing the customer’s concerns to our attention. Please contact me with any
      questions or further concerns.

      Called on February 28th 2023 for a refill. Was told we would have delivery by March 8th 2023. Spoke with them yesterday morning to confirm delivery for that day (3-8-23) and yes we are on for delivery and truck was in transit. I did call back that day (3-8-23) in the afternoon around 4pm because we still had no delivery. I spoke with them agian and said truck was in transit. Well, they never showed up for my delivery day that they gave me 3-8-23. Spoke with 2 different people today 3-9-23 and they are saying 1-3 days for delivery. Have another snow storm coming in within the next 12-24 hours. We will be out of propane today. I would recommend using a different company for you propane services, one that is reliable.

      The consumer complaint filed by *** ***** has been forwarded to the Ferrellgas Legal
      Department for investigation and comment. I have completed my investigation, talked to
      the relevant field personnel, and offer the following response:
      A review of *** *****’s consumer account reveals she commenced services with
      Ferrellgas in November 2012, leases a 500-gallon propane container and chose our “Will
      Call” delivery service.
      *** *****’s concerns to relate to the propane delivery timeframe.
      A review of this customer’s account indicates that her propane order was placed on
      February 28, 2023. At that time, she indicated that her tank gauge read 5%.
      *** ***** is a Will-Call customer. This means that in order for us to know that she needs
      propane, she has to call us. Per our Customer Agreement for Propane Sales and Equipment
      Rental (“Customer Agreement”), which *** ***** is a party to, we recommend that a Will-
      Call customer contact Ferrellgas when their tank is at 30%. This is especially important
      during the cold winter months as individual usage will likely increase as well as
      demand. All deliveries are routed in the order in which they are placed. When available,
      Ferrellgas Customer Service will provide customers with a delivery window. That window
      is an estimate and can ultimately vary due to factors like demand, weather, road conditions,
      etc.
      On March 9, 2023, our Customer Service Specialist advised *** ***** that her propane
      delivery is on route to be delivered on March 10, 2023.
      Thank you for bringing *** *****’s concerns to our attention. I hope the above resolves
      any remaining questions or concerns. Thank you.

      I have been a costumer with Ferrell gas for over 4 years and have always paid in full for services. The last 3 times I’ve called in for a fill they haven’t showed up within the window time frame they gave us leaving us with no propane equaling No heat No hot water No showers No hot food or cooking abilities. The power was out for five days we’ve been in the dark plus all of the prior problems listed. I called in our order on February 22nd it is now March 8th and still without I’ve called numerous times only to be told I’m not on there routes list yet however they gave me a window of delivery the day I called it in. My drive way is clear so there’s no excuse that they can’t deliver to us.

      I called and ordered a propane tank fill on February 14, as my tank was reading 30%. I was told that it would be delivered within 7 business days.

      On February 24th, I was told that I was 4th on the delivery list for that day.
      The home in question is operated as a vacation rental, so I do not live on premises. I assumed the propane had been delivered as scheduled, as nobody notified me otherwise.

      Then, I received an email on March 1st, stating that they had received my order - confused, I called customer service to ask what that was for, since my order had been over 2 weeks prior.

      I was informed that the driver did not deliver propane due to snowy road conditions and that my order was now reentered in the system and it would be another 7-10 business days. I expressed the urgency for delivery and was told to call again the next day.

      The propane tank is now completely empty. It runs all heat and cooking at the house.

      I called again this morning (as i was told to do) to ask to have my delivery expedited (even though it’s technically late).

      A woman, *****, was unhelpful and refused to help me remedy the situation. She refused to transfer me to another person or to give me her full name, Insisting nothing could be done to get my propane delivered any faster. She said she would call me back. I have received no call back.

      The customer service at ferrelgas is lacking. I don’t see why my propane would not be delivered at the soonest possible opportunity.

      I understand we cannot control the weather, but the communication and customer service of your company is something you can control. I am very disappointed.

      What is the purpose of me calling ahead of time to get my tank filled, if you cannot honor your delivery window with 2 weeks prior notice.

      I would also like to note, that my cameras show a completely clear driveway - no snow. So I am not convinced a driver ever even showed at my property in the first place.

      I use propane for my heat, cooking, and hot water. On Thursday Feb 23, I ran out of propane. I called Ferrell Gas, with who I have been a loyal customer for over 30 yrs. They told me I was behind in my payments but I had never received the statements that they said they sent (Nov-Jan 2023). To receive more propane I had to pay for those payments that I missed. I did that. They said there would be an additional fee to be paid to the driver for an expedited delivery. I agreed to that. No propane arrived on Thursday the 23rd. So on Friday Feb 24 I called back this time talking to a manager named ******** She told me I had to pay in advance for what was to be delivered and I also had to pay the fee to them at that time for an expedited delivery which had to be ordered 1 day in advance. She also said that if I could wait until my normal delivery date of Feb 27, there would not be a charge for the expidicted delivery. I paid for the delinquent payments and the advance payment for the propane that is to be delivered and the extra fee for the expedited delivery. I talked with ******** again today (Feb 24) and said that my expedited delivery was being delivered on my normal delivery date of Feb 27 and that I shouldn’t have to pay the extra fee. She said she must have misspoke and changed my normal delivery date to Mar 3. She also said that I WILL NOT get any propane til Mon and showed no concern that the temperatures were only going to be between 20-30 degrees. She was quite rude with me on the phone and didn’t consider me not having any heat or hot water in 20-30 degree temperature an emergency. And since they don’t work Saturday & Sunday she considered Fri the 24 the 1 day notice that they require for an expedited delivery that I had already paid for. As a loyal customer for over 30 yrs, I feel I was treated very badly by this company and particularly this manager who didn’t care if I froze to death, or have broken water pipes, etc.

      When I moved to a new house in November of 2022, it did not use propane. I had just had my tanks refilled prior to moving. I called Ferrell Gas to see about them coming to take the propane back and get a reimbursement. They told me, they would do this. They took the propane, then took me consistently calling them about my refund to tell me, I would not be getting a full refund as they charged me $244 to take the propane back, but would be getting $449.94 in a refund. Again, after consistently calling, they finally told me in January of 2023 they sent the payment to my bank. I checked, and it was not there. I again consistently called, finally to be told they deposited the money into someone else's account whom I do not know. As of now, they are telling me there is nothing they can do, they already paid the money. More or less telling me it is not their problem, the money was put into someone else's account. They are doing nothing to help me. I am a recently widowed, elderly who desperately needs this money.

      The consumer complaint filed by Ms* ************** has been forwarded to the Ferrellgas Legal
      Department for investigation and comment. I have completed my investigation, talked to the
      relevant field personnel, and offer the following response:
      Ms. ***************s concern relates to a reimbursement and customer service.
      Upon completion of a tank pick up and pump out (standard fees assessed), a reimbursement was
      created in our system for Ms. **************. Our records indicate that on January 16, 2023,
      Ferrellgas customer service confirmed with the customer that the credit card that was used for
      deliveries in January 2022 and March 2022 was still valid. The reimbursement was processed to
      that credit card, not the customer’s bank.
      Ferrellgas strives to provide best-in-class customer service, and we regret that Ms. *******
      Bouchey did not feel she received that level of service and have forwarded her concerns on to the
      relevant field personnel.
      Please contact me with any questions or further concerns. Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have paid with my bank card numerous times after March of 2022. Why would they not credit my bank account? When I spoke to them on the phone they told me the money was sent to my account, and read off 4 digits to me. Those were not my last four numbers to any bank cards I have.
       They also told me the money was sent to another person's name, whom I do not know. Same last name with no relation. I have asked for receipts and verification as to where the money was issued with no proof any money was actually paid. If the money was repaid to me, why wont they send me any proof? Tell me exactly where it was sent. What account? Whose name? Proof of records? I just want my money I am owed.

      On January 12, 2022 a Visa card ending in **** was processed for the customer’s account. On

      Amerigas was bought out by Ferrel gas company in my area of Florida. I was on auto-fill and tank rental since 2009. Without warning, I was taken off of auto-fill. So, my tank went empty. Single mom with a kid, no cooking, no hot water. I was then charged for an emergency fill. Then refused auto-fill due to my usage. They basically said too bad you have to check your tank. But you cannot fill at 50% you can only call them when the tank is 30% or below. so with my usage at twice a year it is something I only check that often. So again, I check the level at 50 but I am not "allowed" to call them for a fill, as if, it is this huge inconvenience for them. On top of all of this, I tried management, I tried to basically ask for options and their was none except we are going to charge you for anything and everything we possibly can and you will like it. Well guess what, I do not, I am sitting here without gas again, no cooking and they just sent me bill for $390 for coming out to talk me into not leaving them and yet never took the tank when I said I was done come get it. Now, instead another bill. When does this end.

      The consumer complaint filed by *** ****** has been forwarded to the Ferrellgas Legal
      Department for investigation and comment. I have completed my investigation, talked to
      the relevant field personnel, and offer the following response:
      A review of *** ******’s consumer account reveals she commenced services with
      Ferrellgas in September 2012 and leased a propane container.
      *** ****** is concerned about billing on her account and our Auto-Fill program.
      Our Master Agreement for Propane Sales and Equipment Rental (“Agreement”), to which
      *** ****** was a party to, states the following regarding our minimum purchase
      requirements, “If you lease your Tank from us, you agree to purchase from us a volume of
      Propane at least equal to two times the water capacity of your tank each 12-month period
      following your first delivery of propane (the “Minimum Volume Requirement”), unless
      you have reached a different arrangement with us. If you fail to purchase your Minimum
      Volume Requirement, we may, at our option, either terminate this Agreement and cease
      delivery of propane to you, adjust the daily price of the Propane we deliver to you, or
      charge you a Low Usage Fee, and/or increase your Tank Rent to reflect your low usage”.
      Our records indicate that *** ****** was not meeting the Minimum Volume Requirement
      and her annual tank rental increased. Additionally, due to unpredictable usage, *** ******
      was not eligible for our Auto Fill program. Our records further indicate that *** ******
      informed Ferrellgas that propane is not her primary heat source.
      On February 8, 2023, *** ****** reported a potential leak. Ferrellgas arrived that same day
      and completed a leak test. No leak(s) were detected; however, *** ****** requested a tank
      pick up. The standard Emergency fee for the leak test was credited off her account for
      customer satisfaction.
      On February 22, 2023, Ferrellgas picked up the leased tank at the customer’s residence.
      *** ****** was charged a labor fee and the fuel surcharge fee. Those fees remain unpaid
      as of today’s date.
      Thank you for bringing the customer’s concerns to our attention. Ferrellgas strives to
      provide best-in-class customer service and we regret that *** ****** did not feel she
      received that level of service.
      Please contact me with any further questions or concerns. Thank you.

      I have been trying for a month and a half to get a delivery of gas for my tank I get told every time I call I have a red tag on my account and it needs to be inspected before they can fill it Now I'm out of gas and no inspection It's below zero most nights here and I'm heating with portable electric heater's I really need someone from Ferrellgas to contact me about this situation I didn't say I've been using the gas that they filled my tank with in November That's what's so infuriating about this is the red tag should never have been placed on this account

      The consumer complaint filed by *** ***** has been forwarded to the Ferrellgas Legal
      Department for investigation and comment. I have completed my investigation, talked to the
      relevant field personnel, and offer the following response:
      A review of *** *****’s consumer account reveals he commenced services with Ferrellgas in
      October 2020; leases a 120-gallon propane container; chose “Will Call” delivery service and Pay
      in Advance payment terms.
      *** *****’s concerns relate to a red-tag removal and propane delivery.
      A review of this customer’s account indicates that in October 2022, the 120-gallon tank was set
      for *** *****. It is my understanding that at that time, there were repairs/replacements required
      and the red-tag stayed on the tank until the repairs were completed. On January 24, 2023, Mr.
      White informed Ferrellgas that the repairs were made but he was now out of propane. *** *****
      is a Will Call customer. This means that in order for us to know that he needs propane, he has to
      call us. Additionally, will call orders are delivered in the order they are placed. Per our Customer
      Agreement for Propane Sales and Equipment Rental (“Customer Agreement”), which *** ***** is
      a party to, we recommend that a Will-Call customer contact Ferrellgas when their tank is at
      30%. *** *****’s red tag was removed and a propane order was created. *** ***** is a Pay in
      Advance customer. On March 6, 2023, a payment was made and delivery has been routed.
      Ferrellgas strives to provide best in class customer service and we sincerely regret that *** *****
      did not feel he received such level of service. His complaint has been forwarded to the relevant
      field personnel.
      Thank you for bringing the customer’s concerns to our attention. Please contact me with any
      questions or further concerns.
      Sincerely,
