AmeriGas Propane LP

Review: I called to complain that a device in my home was reading gas level is noticed. The company Amerigas stated that they had to come out to check for an actual gas leak. After discovering that no gas leak was apparent' they tell me that the fee for the service call, after hours and the service per hour well cost $300.00 dollars. The next morning ,I called amerigas to ask them to produce a list of prices for services within their company. They stated that they do not have a list of any prices because their prices change daily. My complaint in this matter is that I as a customer should have been given an opportunity to have a price list so as to make a judgement if I could have a basis for how much I would have been required to pay,as well as an option to determine if I could afford the service fee. I recently received a bill from this company and they are also charging me an additional service fee of 40dollars which they state is a fee for an initial service call. The bill states that $150.00 dollars is for service per hour and $150.00 dollars for service calls after hours, in which case the call was place at 11:30pm. I believe this is price gouging. Please assist me in this matter.Desired Settlement: I would like all customer with Amerigas to be given printed service fee prices . I would also like this bill to be reviewed and adjusted accordingly. The fee which they require. $150.00 dollars per hour is extreme and overpriced.

December 3, 2014

I am a 3 year customer with Amerigas/Heritage Propane and have never been billed correctly or received a charge that I didn't have to take time off to get proper resolution.
I have universally been overcharged on propane refills. The latest occurrence was for charges for refill at $3.25 per gallon. Recognizing that LP prices usually track gasoline prices (which are currently @ $2.00 per gallon) I called and after 20 minutes on the phone verified I should have been charged $2.10 per gallon (which amounted to a $100
difference)! I was told this must of occurred as the result of a glitch in the system! My concern is for the many elderly and maybe not so elderly people that get a billing and would never think to look at the cost breakdowns, etc. If this was the first occurrence I could understand but, this Co. regularly experiences "glitches" that are amazingly always in their favor! Changing LP providers is not fun but, I will be doing so and would encourage anyone else dealing with this Co. to do the same.

Review: Premise: Customer operating on budget plan (fixed price, constant monthly payment, September - July) with reconciliation done at end of contract year (August).

1) Billing of incorrect amount from September 2012 - February 2013, despite repeated attempts to correct by customer, no correction was made. This caused a large balance to accrue on the customer's account, finally reconciled and paid during current contract year. Company failed to operate based on guidelines set forth in the budget plan.

2) During current contract year of September 2013 - July 2014, customer was set to pay $185 per month until the reconciliation month in August. In February, March and April of 2014, customer was invoiced $532, $532 and $407 respectively. Company stated this was based on forecast usage for remainder of contract year, although no additional deliveries of product had been made. Company would not stand by original agreement of $185 per month, but offered to reduce monthly payment to $250 per month. This was unacceptable to customer based on original budget plan agreement for current contract year. Current balance on customer account is over $1,000. Through regular budget payments of $185, customer has already paid for all propane delivered during this contract year.Desired Settlement: 1) Reduce monthly invoice amount of $185 retroactive to invoice of February 2014.

2) Adjust future monthly invoices to original agreement of $185.

Review: I called Amerigas to setup my new account at my address prior to moving in on Nov 8th, 2013. A 120 gallon tank was already installed and left from the previous owner; however, the tank was empty. I was told my Amerigas customer service that a safety check would be scheduled and after that was completed I would be scheduled to have the tank filled. About a month later, I still had not been scheduled for even a safety check. After 2 months and many email and phone call attempts to get something scheduled I decided to seek another propane provider. In January, I contacted another service provider and had a new 120g propane tank installed and filled in less than 2 weeks. The empty Amerigas tank was disconnected and is still sitting in my back yard. My new propane provider contacted Amerigas, as did I, to cancel my account and request them to pick up the Amerigas tank. Another 2 months later I still have not received a response to my request, nor has the Amerigas tank been picked up. I have now received a bill from Amerigas for $75.99. Two charges are itemized: 1. Item listed as “Invoice” for $39.99 and 2. An item listed as “Late Fee” for $36.00.Desired Settlement: As a consumer who did not receive any service from Amerigas. I am requesting the below:

1. Amerigas removes their tank without damaging my property.

2. Close my account as I requested back in January, with no other attempts to charge or collect any monies from me.

Review: The company has billed me a renters fee for a propane tank that they picked up last year. I hired a property manager and he had Amerigas remove the tank. In the beginning of this year they billed me for my annual tank renters fee. I called the office and spoke to an employee who stated she would resolve the issue and that I needed to contact the billing department. I then contacted the billing department to tell them the issue and they stated that they cannot do anything until the main office closes my account and erases my dept. I kept getting bills for the same charge every month with phone calls. I have talked to both departments several times to have them tell me they will resolve the issue. Today I received a letter from a collection agency stating that I have failed to pay Amerigas. I called the office again to speak to a manager and I was told he would call me back. It's been over 4 hours now and nobody has returned my phone call and I'm beyond upset. I believe this is not good business and my credit score is now being effected by their inability to do their job. This should not be this difficult and the only excuse they have is that they are unwilling to do their job.Desired Settlement: Close my account and resolve the issue. Contact the third party collection agency and notify them that your company made a mistake!

Review: We have done business with ** propane for about 40 yrs. Around the first of this year 2014 Amerigas purchased **. We called Amerigas for a fill over the phone asked for a price of how much per gallon. They gave us a quote and we had then come out for a fill. They did not give us a bill at the fill site saying that they NEVER did that and that the bill would come in the mail. Upon recieving the bill in the mail we noticed that the price per gallon was much higher than the quote. We complained and amerigas agreed on the previous quote. At that point we decided that Amerigas would have to go. We used up the fuel and had [redacted] Propane bring us a new tank which we paid for and had some propane put in. That was on a Friday, March 14,2014. We call Amerigas on the following Monday and left a message to pick up the tank. We noticed that Monday was a national holiday so we called Tuesday for them to pick up the tank, no one answered the phone. We called them again and no one answered the phone. So we called on our cell phone which someone answered. We asked them to please pick up the tank. To date the tank has never been picked up. Today we recieved a bill for rent on the tank, 04/01/2014-03/31/2014 for the amount of $93.45. We called them this morning, complained and told them that we were filing with Revdex.com. And so here we are........Desired Settlement: no rent due remove tank from premises

We have concluded our investigation and provide the following response.On June 2, 2014 the tank was removed from **. [redacted]s property. On May , 2014 a credit of 93.45 was applied to **.

Review: I contacted the Amerigas office in [redacted], Va on July 3rd 2014 to let them know I needed them to come pick-up their propane tank and return money for gas already paid for in the tank because we were building a new home and no longer needed their services because of the amount of time it would take to complete the new home. They told me they would take care of it and return a phone call back to me with a pick-up date and time. I made that call to Amergas on July 3rd 2014. As of August 15th 2014 which is well over a month later I still had not gotten a return phone call from Amerigas about the pick-up date and time so I called them back and ask them why I still have their Tank on my property that I ask for them to come get and make a refund to me. The Lady on the phone put me on hold and when she came back she told me that they were not coming to get the tank until September 12th 2014. That's me storing their tank on my property from July 3rd to Sept. 12th 2014. Amerigas has charged me over the years a tank rental Fee of $100.00 and I buy their propane, so I feel I should charge them a storage rental Fee of $100.00 for me storing their tank on my property for well over two months. They told me again on August 12th 2014 that they would call me back after they talk to the boss and here it is August 20th 2014 and once again no phone call. Now I'm very upset because a friend filed a complaint with Revdex.com and Amerigas has called her and said they would come get her propane tanks on Thursday August 21st 2014 and the bad thing is she had her problem with them after me but she gets her problem taking care of first because of the Revdex.com so that's why I'm asking you to help me, thank you and I will be waiting to hear from you.Desired Settlement: I want Amerigas to come pick-up their propane tank and refund me for the propane that's still in the tank and for the same price that I paid for them to fill it. Also I want a Storage fee of $100.00 for storing the tank on my property. I can't watch them recover my propane out of the tank so how do I know that they will be honest with me about the amount that's left in the tank? I only filled up every three months so the tank should still have 65 to 70 gallons still in the 100 gallon tank. I'm hoping they will be honest about it.

September 2, 2014Dear [redacted]:Thank you for giving AmeriGas L.P. (“AmeriGas) an opportunity to respond to [redacted]’ complaint regarding the removal of his tank. AmeriGas takes any complaint we receive seriously. Therefore, upon receipt of [redacted]’ complaint, we investigated the allegations contained therein and provide the following response based on our findings.[redacted] is correct he did place a call to his local district office in early July to request we pick- up his tank and issue him a refund for the remaining propane.

Upon receipt of this letter we contacted the [redacted] family directly at the number listed and spoke to [redacted]. We were able to move up the date for the tank removal to September 2nd and spoke to her about the phone number mix-up.

Review: On April 17, 2013, I received a letter from AmeriGas stating I had a large bill due to an issue with their software. I phoned AmeriGas and was told by [redacted] that I had a credit of $1,035.00. Then in May I received a bill for $1,674.85. That's quite a difference from a credit in April. I wrote the President a letter with attachments and I always end up dealing with customer service reps who don't believe in providing "customer" service. I should not be held responsible for their software issues or employees mistakes. I have been a customer for years and the service they provide has always been extremely poor.Desired Settlement: Give me the credit of $1,035.00, and that leaves me with a balance of 639.85. After that, I will find another service provider that respects the customer.

Review: Amerigas came and removed a nearly full 250 gallon tank of LP nearly a year ago. We have not been refunded satisfactorily.

In 2012, our landlord made the decision to switch from Amerigas to [redacted]. Amerigas removed our nearly full 250 gallon tank. We were issued a check from Amerigas for 294.69 dated 12/18/2012, #[redacted]. We did not cash the check because it was not the right amount. We filed a complaint with Revdex.com and were assigned #[redacted]. We received the copy of a letter from Amerigas to the Revdex.com of Metropolitan Washington DC and Eastern Pennsylvania dated 1/11/2013. "Re: [redacted], Complaint No. [redacted]." It said we would be credited in the additional amount of 107.69. Our local Amerigas office informs us that the original check for 294.69 "was credited back to a credit card on 1/11/2013". They are unable to explain what this means. We have never had a credit card on file with Amerigas. We never cashed that check. We have now received a check for $107.70 dated 11/08/2013, #[redacted].Desired Settlement: Amerigas still owes us 294.69 and should reissue a check in that amount. Thank you.

Review: I have continually had issues with Amerigas over the course of a year period and have never had a good experienceI am on will call and prepayMeaning that when I need propane delivered, I have to call them and pay for gas before they deliverPropane isn't cheap and I have to wait until I get paid to have it delivered, and sometimes that means I call when I only have 15% or lessI called on January to have gas deliveredI was told that it would be 5-days and they ran my credit card on the 15th and the money was out of my accountToday is January and it has been days since I paid for propane that was not deliveredI called the office today and the employee that answered the phone told me that because I was on will call, I was not a priority, that I would get propane delivered when there was a truck in my areaI explained to her that I was really low on gas, and she told me "you should have called sooner", like it was my fault that they hadn't delivered yetShe also mentioned to me that it is 1-WORKING days and that I was not at the 10th day yetEven though I have seen Amerigas trucks in my neighborhood in the last daysI asked her if she could tell me when I was going to have gas delivered, and she couldn't tell me, and I asked her if I would get it within the day window and she didn't knowI realized that I was not going to get anything from her, so I thanked her for her help and hung up the phoneI am tired of being treated this way from AmerigasThis is not the first time they have told me that it's my fault that my gas was low and I needed to call earlier, not considering that coming up with $at once, is not always easy for some people.Desired Settlement: I really would like better service from this companyI also would like my propane delivered in a timely manner and to not feel like a second class citizen because I am on will call and have to prepay for propane

Review: payment is misplaced and company will not credit it to me. They have placed it for corrections

In October 2013 I agreed on the phone for a $100.00 charge to try gas for my fireplace. When the work order was completed in november it was for 157.34. I called and made a payment by credit card for 175.00 on 11/28/13. I get a bill within a month for total charges of 374.98. after complaining for a month, they decided to give me courtesy credit for 101.00, and get one of the two tanks they provided for another $99 credit. With my payment of $175 I should have it paid off. The company could not find my payment, and said I have not made any payments. I sent the statement from my credit card showing they made a payment to [redacted] in January. I still have not heard anything. They have slapped late fees on me and have referred me for collections.

The one tank that I used and paid $175.00 was only used for a total of 10 hours and then the fire extinguished.

There has been a complete disregard for this issue from the company, they have no system of record for customer calls or to record account information because I have to explain it every time. I have tried escalating with them and not once have I been called from a manager, they are always in meetings and cannot get to me then, or afterwards. All I want is to never have to deal with them again.Desired Settlement: I need them to give me a full tank of gas as advertised, and not one that lasts only 10 hours. They need to post the payment I made to my account, waive any late fees, and get it straightened out

Review: Amerigas delivered gallons of propane which we did not orderWe insist that they come take back their propane and reverse the charge
I requested to be switched from auto-fill service to will-call service in July
On April 2014, gallons of propane were delivered to my tank without my request or approval
I initially contacted Amerigas on May after receiving an invoice for $Amerigas customer service (Kathy) apologized, admitted fault, and verified that while my request for will-call service had been recorded, it had not been implemented properly in the computer systemShe assured me that it would now be implemented and that they would send a truck to pump out the propane
I received a past due notice for the $with the date JuneWhen I called to inquire on June, the Amerigas representative (Kathy) verified that the truck had not yet been sent to pump out the propane and that she would increase the priority of the task
I followed up with a phone call later that week, I requested to speak to a managerThe manager (Eric) left a voicemail during the week of June indicating that the truck was scheduled to come pump out the tank on Monday, June
As of June the propane still has not been removed.Desired Settlement: Amerigas needs to come take back the propane which they erroneously deliveredThey have promised to do this for weeks, but it has not happened

Review: I have been having billing issue with the company since fall of last year. I am on a budget and made the budget payments that were requested. In april I received a past due and late fee, I called the local office and was told to only make my budget payment as the "past due" $303.35 was an incorrect bill and the amount would issued a credit. Another past due and late fee was received in may and I called again. No past due or late fee in June, indicating that AmeriGas had corrected the error. July was another past due and late fee, I escalated my call at AmeriGas the District Manager (Dennis S[redacted]) when that call was not received I called Customer Care back and escalated my call to the Area Director when that call was not received customer customer care sent my call to the Area Coordinator (Sally M[redacted]). In this time I requested invoices and call logs from the national Customer Care so I could try to see what went wrong with my account, I was on a budget payment and my records indicate I had paid all amounts requested, I was unable to get either of these from Customer Service. I offered to pay any balance that was due and they could provide an invoice for. No invoices were provided, random incorrect amounts were quoted.Only July 24, 2014 I received my first collections notice from [redacted], I had not been informed by AmeriGas that I was in collections.

My account used 5000 gallons of propane last winter and I will have a large "settle up" balance at the end of my contract in November. I have not disputed this fact. What I am disputing is AmeriGas is refusing to allow me to lock in a price. I have been told by the Area Coordinator that I can lock in a price, I have been contacting the District Manager (Dennis S[redacted]) and he will not lock in my price for the winter season unless my account is at 0. My account is not due to be at 0 until November 1st. I was also in a buying group and was not permitted to lock in with the group unless I paid my balance to 0.Desired Settlement: The outcome I am desiring is a fair locked in price based on the number of gallon I use.

I would also like a call from the VP of Operations (this is the next set per the AmeriGas website) explaining to me why I have spent hours on the phone and countless e-mails begging my propane company to allow me to lock in my price and trying to get out of collection and off credit hold for an account this I do not see is past due and AmeriGas has been unable to provide the information showing it is. Doing business should not be this difficult. I would also like to know if every customer that has a balance, a balance that is not past is prohibited from locking in a price, I am 100% sure this is not the case so I am confused why my account is being singled out? I would also like to know how my account can be with a collections agency without any notification from my service provider.

Review: I cancelled service with AmeriGas nearly six months ago. I was told a rep would be by in the next few weeks to collect the empty propane tank (very large) and reimburse for unused propane. I have called twice to the local office and sent an email to the corporate office. The tank still sits in my backyard. I just want the tank removed and to be reimbursed for the unused propane. All I am asking is for the company to do what they said they would do.Desired Settlement: I just want the tank removed and to be reimbursed for the unused propane. All I am asking is for the company to do what they said they would do.

Review: Over the course of about 2 years Amerigas continually failed to correct problems on our account. We were on a budget plan with them and our payment was due on the 20th of each month. I paid my bill on or before the 20th each month while on the budget plan. Even after paying it on time I would receive collection calls and late fees. I would call and talk to someone who would tell me they didnt know why we were getting calls and late fees. They would tell me it was corrected and reverse the fees. For aprox. 8 months we would go through this routine of us paying our bill on time and getting collection calls and fees and me calling and talking to someone who would tell me they would fix it. I spent countless hours on hold and on the phone with people who never seemed to be able to correct the problem. Also over the course of about 3 years of doing business with them I called at least 3 or 4 times to request someone come out to service the propane tank. They would tell me they would come out when the weather permitted. I guess the weather didn't "permit" for the entire 3 years because they never came out to service the tank. When our contract finally ended and we switched propane companies I called to ask them to pick up their tank. It took them 3 months to pick the tank up. I saw many Amerigas trucks in our location over this 3 months but they still left the tank sitting in our front yard for 3 months. Then after they pick up the tank they send me a bill with a "service-sales order" fee of $39.99 and a "equipment rental" fee of $106.00. I called and talked to[redacted] at the local [redacted] office and he tells me this rental fee was charged in error and we met the minimum number of gallons for the year to avoid it and we shouldn't have recieved it. After then checking with his co-worker he then tells me we were charged this euipment rental fee because we only had 250 gallons delivered for the year and the minimum to avoid the fee is 335. He tells me he will "take care" of the rental fee and all I need to pay is the $39.99. So I call back 3 weeks later to pay the $39.99 and they say that I still owe the rental fee of $106.00 that [redacted] was supposed to take care of. So once again Amerigas has told me they would correct something and it was never done. This is the routine with this company, they do not follow through with what they say they will do. This company has the worst costomer service I have ever had to deal with. [redacted] in [redacted] did finally "take care" of the $106.00 like he said he would and I paid the $39.99 so hopefully I will never hear from Amerigas again. I want nothing to do with this company, they are horrible. I don't think I should have even had to pay the $39.99 because of the time I spent on the phone trying to get them to fix all the errors on our account and the fact that they never came out to service the tank, and the fact that they left the tank sit in our yard for 3 months after we asked them to pick it up. They should have waived the $39.99 just for the simple fact that I had so much trouble with them. But I am sick to death of dealing with and hearing from Amerigas so I paid it just so I will hopefully never hear from this company again. After the horrible service I recieved over the 3 years I did business with them, I think they should refund the $39.99.Desired Settlement: I think Amerigas should refund me the $39.99 "sales-service order" fee because I received such TERRIBLE service from them.

Review: AmeriGas charges $9.99 per month simply to read its meter in addition to the cost of gas. The tank for the apartment is shared among several apartments, hence, the company is making money from each tenant on one tank. The apartment uses gas only for heating, yet AmeriGas continues to bill for a meter reading even through the summer months when no heat is being used. This see** like an unfair practice and a way for AmeriGas to make an extra $120 from me each year. Is this practice ethical from a utility company? I am not charged by the phone company or electric company for them to monitor usage.Desired Settlement: I would like for AmeriGas to stop this unfair practice. If they are legally allowed to charge for a meter reading, the reading for one tank should be split evenly among the tenants. Also, I do not believe we should be charged for readings from June through September when no one is using heat.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and although I still take issue with the high amount that AmeriGas charges for its meter reading, especially considering that it is charging the fee to multiple individuals even though we all share only one tank, I will currently accept this resolution.

Review: On 8/28/12 I called to have my propane tank rental terminated and the tank to be picked up. I also asked about the refund of the remaining 2 and a half months and was told I had a refund of more than $18 coming.

On 10/30/12 I called to find out when they were going to pick up the tank since it had been sitting in my yard for 2 months. They said it would be on 11/14. I also asked about the refund and they said that the account would have to be reopened and a refund submitted.

On about 12/15/12 they finally picked up the tank.

In December I went to the Amerigas website and requested a status of my refund. I never got a response.

I called again in January and was told the same story about the account needing to be reopened and a refund submitted.

On about 02/10/13 I received a bill for tank rental because it was sitting in my yard beyond the time when a new year lease would be paid. I responded to the [redacted] address with a letter of the history of my problem and also noted that I constantly have issues with my bills or getting over charged for propane and having to call the office to get it straightened out on multiple occasions.

On 02/25/13 I received a bill again with a 30 cent credit ignoring my complaint that I was owed a refund of about 2.5 months tank rental.Desired Settlement: I expect Amerigas to honor what their personnel say in the office and that is to refund me the remainder of the tank rental from 8/28/12 to the end of the period.

Review: When I first moved in my apt, it took them over three months to get me in their system and I continually called about my bill..when they finally fixed it, I was hit with a huge bill and when I couldnt pay it all I kept getting late fee charges sometimes twice a month. I would get bills with different amounts almost daily. For instance I received a bill for say $72.00, the next day I would get a bill for $135.00 and a late fee attached of $36.00 with a threat of stopping my service. I complained for over a year that there was a smell of gas coming from my back porch into my apartment, ( the tank is right outside my porch), and nothing was done until an apartment maintenance man said something...WHEN I HAD COMPLAINED FOR OVER A YEAR. They bill me sometimes twice a month $36.00 late fees and when you cant pay those off, they charge you another late fee for not paying the late fees...I spent over an hour on the phone with ** one day, and went over every invoice I had, and she agreed with me that the billing is unfair and inaccurate. All she could suggest is to start paying online, which I now do. But now Im still getting a local paper bill, and an online bill..and NEITHER match! Ive spoken to several other tenants in my apartment building, and Im not the only tenant that they are doing this to. We have no choice but to use them because their tanks are on the property, and if we dont pay then we have no hot water..its unfair billing practices. And we have to give a security deposit of $150.00 when we move in, and I havent heard a single tenant receiving their deposit back because Amerigas ensures that they find some loop hole to refuse to give people their money back. Ive complained SEVERAL times over to the company, with no results.Desired Settlement: I want them to correct their billing, FIX the problem because someone in that company is making money off of customers that have no choice, with their unfair billing process. I want a refund for ALL the aggrivation and having to smell propane for over a year in my apartment. Thank GOD nothing happenend to me or my kids. There are 72 customers where I live alone, and I KNOW for sure they have ALL had billing issues with Amerigas.
