I purchased my new home on Aug 9th 2024 I closed approx 10am and went straight to my new house. The first order of business is getting my utilitys on so I called oge and no problem got it switched over, so I called Oklahoma natural gas got ahold of them and was informed the previous owner was behind on his payments and in response to that ong took the gas meter. Ong informed me that I need to summit a few forms showing I just bought the house and they would review it and call me back in 5 days, about 3 days later I received a phone call and was told that since it had been off so long it may take longer and apparently there was a line that needed replaced but that gas line had been replaced already so we set a date Aug 20th 2024 8am to 5pm Ong never showed so I called and they said they would be out the 23rd 8am to 5pm they never showed called and was told they would be out by 8pm nobody showed I have not received a phone call or email and am having the most difficult time getting a straight answer out of them on if anybody will show up.

On July 12, 2024 my gas was shut off due to an outside leak. The worker never turned it back on nor did he leave a note, call, or reach out in any way. For 5 days, I thought my hot water heater had went out. I dont own a truck so I had to pay someone to drive 35 miles one way to pick one up. On the 5th day, I paid someone to install the new water heater. Upon his inspection, he realized no gas was flowing. I called the gas company and was told they did a repair and never turned it on. Luckily , I am able to return the unused water heater and get my $700 back. I cant get my money back that I spent paying someone to go get it, return it, and the man that came out to install it. Due to the negligence of the employee of ONG, I am out $150. I reached out about this and was told they would give me a $25 credit. Thats completely unacceptable. It is this companys fault and their responsibility to make this right. I want $150 credit to pay me back for their negligence in failing to tell me that my gas was turned off. My daughter and I had to take cold showers for 5 days because of this.

I have needed the gas reconnected at my home twice for various reasons. Both times, I have arrived within the allotted time and both times I have passed the technician on the street. I have called customer service and they are no help just offer to reschedule the next day, in both cases I had appointments and was on time. I had to take off of work both days and without compensation to be here for the gas company and no one seems to care. Speaking to customer service is like talking to a brick wall and no one can actually resolve the issue. There seems to be no other way of contacting them and unfortunately there is a monopoly on natural gas. So they obviously dont care about the people paying their bills. I want something done so other people in my situation are left loosing half a days wages just so that the gas company can steal our money and then not provide service.

We contacted the customer to discuss their concerns and advised there was a high bill investigation performed after the bill was received and the techician did not find any leaks inside or outside. We advised the customer to have a qualified service agent service the inside appliances, but there will not be an adjustment made due to no issues being found. The customer disconnected the call before we could discuss any further.

ONG and their 3rd party "NPL" have been in my neighborhood the last several months doing maintenance work. I've been concerned with the damage that could be done to my yard, but was told they would leave the yard as how they had found it. That has not been the case. I've called several times to complain but have basically been brushed aside and have not been helped at all. First they had broke my sprinkler line and I had to replace and fix with my own money. I was referred to NPL's claims department but the claim was removed in less than 24 hours because I didn't have photo evidence that my sprinkler line wasn't damaged before they got there. Who digs up their yard to take photos just in case?!?! They have left tons of rocks in my yard and have not picked them up. The yard is not level anymore, deep rut marks, and they've laid sod down that I did not want or even have in the first place. The sod that was laid down was just thrown down on top of the ground and over rocks that they left there. They've also put sod down over existing grass that was there, thus killing the existing grass and leaving my yard destroyed. I've been told they'd be out to fix the problem on certain days, but they've still not come out. I've called to complain about it and all I've been told is they'd mark it on my account. This is totally unacceptable. I'm now about to be out several hundred dollars if not thousands, because I'm going to have to totally renovate my yard to fix the damage they have done. I'm to the point where calling ONG and NPL is a waste of my time. So I'm filing a complaint here and about to contact my attorney and take this to court. This is not how you treat a customer. I understand maintenance work needing to be done, but this is ridiculous how they have no respect for their customers property. I've worked too hard to have a nice looking property just for someone to come and completely wreck it and have no accountability for what they've done.

At the end of Dec, I contacted ONG to have service turned on at a rental property - *************. In setting up this service, the woman asked me if I wanted the bill sent to 515 S. 6th #B. I told her "No, I want it sent to my home, **** N. Union, just like all my other bills". At the end of the conversation, she indicated that I would be charged a deposit. Because of my credit history with ONG, I have never been charged a deposit, so I asked why there was a deposit. She stated that I had a past due bill - on 515 S. 6th #B. After checking, I found that I had not received a bill on 515 #B. Since it had been leased, it was not on in my name and had been turned off at the end of Nov. I contacted ONG again and the representative told me that the bill for that apartment was being sent to the apartment instead of my house. She also statement that she would sent me a copy of the bill. On January 8th, I still had not received the bill from ONG, so I went online and set up an account to access the billing and paid the bill for 515 S. 6th #B in full (the final bill). On or about Janaury 25th, I received a call from ONG that was recorded on my messages indicating that I had not paid the final bill for 515 S. 6th #B. On January 29th, I contacted ONG regarding this. The automated service indicated that I still owed the final bill for 515 B so I transferred over to a live representative. This person said that their records indicated that the bill was paid. However, there was another bill that I owed. After this call, I set up auto-draft accounts on all of my rental units and verified that all bills were paid - since it appeared that I could no longer rely on ONG to send out the bills. You would think this would solve the issue - However, on February 1st, I once again received a call from ONG stating that I was going to be turned to collection for the unpaid bill on 515 S. 6th #B which I paid on January 8th. Please help mekeep this company from ruining my credit.

So ONG originally came out at 10 00 AM, At this time my wife was getting ready, dressing for work. I explained to the repairman that I had to take my wife to work but would be soon and if he needed to look outside he could and he had access to my garage. When I came back from taking my wife to work he was gone. I found a note on the grass by the curb which told me my gas was turned off. When the second guy came out a few hours later he worked for a long time and said he could not find the leak and called another guy Now at this time my house was wide open. I was trying to work so I let them know they could have free access. He said he was calling another guy because he could not find the leak then after an hour he was gone. They turned off the gas but did not attempt to find the problem. It is cold and I am without heat. Also hot water. I waited here all day did miss some work. I am flabbergasted and cold. I have COPD so this condition is critical. We are two senior citizens and there is no explanation as to why it was not resolved or what the issue is that we need to fix.

We have visited with the customer and discussed next steps in order to restore services. The customer has direct contact information for any further questions or concerns.
Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: Once again, the gas was turned off initially because the first repairman was insistent to come in the house even though we had to leave the house for work.
The gas was shut off purely for retaliation. It is beyond cold in this house and I can not leave due to driving restrictions. My doctor has suggest I find somewhere else to live. However I am terrified to do so because If I miss this letter then it will be that much longer.
Also this cost me as far as my pay check for next period. This treatment is still not excusable.

We must ensure the safety of our customers and the surrounding neighbors. The service was disconnected by our service personnel as the required safety checks could not be completed once the customer left the premise. The customer has been advised of the additional requirements to be met before service can be restored. Should the customer have any additional questions regarding the requirements, they have been provided direct contact information to the Manager. They can also contact us at ************.

The gas company came to my address to fix a gas leak dug a huge gaping hole by the water meter and water lines and now my water lines have been frozen for 5 days. The gas company came told us that it wasnt their problem. So I called the city and the city came out and said it was the gas companies fault. Last night the gas company came and used heaters to unthaw some of the line by the meter but the water never unthawed and never made it to the house the man told us he would not leave us without water. Then they just filled in the hole and left us with no water. Its been 5 days with no flushing toilets no water not able to do dishes. Now they are telling me I have to pay for a plumber to come out and fix the problem I do not have the money for this and it is not my fault this has happened. I feel like they should pay for the plumber or provide hotel for us until this is resolved Im calling the news.
