A & A Towing

Mr*** contacted *** ***, Inc regarding repair of a mower that would not start. Mr*** did not indicate any issues regarding a previous oil leak at the time arrangements were made for the repair or at the time the unit was picked upIn fact he attempted to start
the unit while on the trailer prior to leaving his home. The units Carburetor was repaired and the unit started. Mr*** was contacted and technician asked if any additional servicing was needed. Mr*** agreed to have the blade sharpened and the total repair came to $100.00. The next time the unit was started the engine seized due to lack of oil. The location has made what they believe to be a fair offer of covering 50% of the repair. I have attached communication between Mr*** and Don T***, who is a Southern States employee and works directly with *** ***. *** *** *** is owned and operated by the farmer members. Southern States works with *** *** *** but the location is independently owned. The final decision on how this matter will be resolved is with the Manager and Board of *** *** ***

Our Manager Warren A*** spoke with Mrs*** on 12/21. He apologized for overfilling the tank, but explained during heating season gallons will not go a long way and he would have to return within weeks with additional fuel. Our protocol for customers not on automatic
delivery is to receive at a minimum 50% of the total usable tank gallons. The *** have a gallon tank. Fills less than 50% typically receive a short fill surcharge.Mr A*** offered Mrs *** options, Southern States could come and pump off the excess fuel or she could make payments over the next several months, anticipating the current fuel should carry her through the majority of the winter. Mrs*** accepted the monthly payment option and it was agreed she would make $*** per month payments. Southern States believes the company and the customer have come to a agreed upon solution and no further action is required

The *** opened an account with Southern States Tri County Petroleum in October, 2015. The attached credit card authorization form was placed on file to bill delivery of LP gas as well as installation of a tank. Tank installation and the first delivery of product was made in
November (November 5, 2015). That was billed to the credit card on file. A delivery was made January 5, and billed to the credit card on file. A delivery was made on March 8, 2016, but the credit card on file declined the transaction. Our location contacted Mr*** and he indicated he would come to the location and make payment March 11, 2016. Mr*** did not follow through on that commitment. Over the next two weeks, the location attempted to put through the sale multiple times. Finally on March 24, 2016, the transaction went through on the credit card on file. Mr*** contacted the manager, Warren A***, on March 25th, indicating Southern States could not bill the credit card he had previously provided. Mr*** was to come in to the location and pay the amount, at which time Southern States would process through a credit to the credit card. Several days later, Mr*** requested Southern States pick up the tank and credit the card for the LP gas in the tank. Southern States picked up the tank April 4, and issued a credit to the card for $265.89, the same amount billed to the card on March 24, 2016. The *** have a remaining balance due Southern States of $for the fuel used from March 8, through April 4, 2016. Based on the events outlined above, Southern States handled this account in the same fashion from November through March 2016, and billed to a credit card that Mr*** provided authorization to bill. Please advise if additional information is required. Thank you

Although Southern States response is true they fail to mention (again) that their serviceman was not authorize to restart the engine that caused the engine to seizeAn offer of paying 50% is totally unacceptable

The customer is correct, the delivery driver incorrectly noted the price per gallon on the delivery ticket. When the ticket was billed, the customer was contacted and told there was an error in pricing. The customer did not indicate an issue and agreed with the new price per
gallon. As a result of this complaint, the customer was contacted on 101/13/and the manager, Warren A***, agreed to honor the price on the delivery ticket
