      I entered into a fuel delivery contract with Petro in Oct 2023. I ordered a service cleaning on my furnace in April - they told me my tank was leaking and I have been shut off of any further old delivery - that is a lie ! - it does NOT leak - They tried to PUSH me into a tank sale with them for $6300 - I refused - I am ordering a new tank from another company - I am being forced to pay $5000 I don't have rtight now in the middle of my contract - They should have checked the condition of my tank BEFORE I signed the contract - Now they told me it would be a $575 to cancel my contract with them - I want OUT with no penalty !!! - I am a retired real estate agent with a lot of contacts still in the business - I will scream it from the mountain tops - I am in touch with my attorney - this company is rip-off ! SQUIRRELING CUSTOMERS OIL TANKS !! - I had 3 people look at the tank - it does not leak !!! - I WANT OUT OF THIS CONTRACT WITH NO PENALTY !!

      I called PETRO looking into a new furnace. I have use Petro in the past and when i had a house in ****** for 23 or more years. so, I talk with someone. I move into my mother home she passed I took over the house. I told the salesperson I think my mother had got a furnace from them. but i said I had used their service in ****** also. they ask for the address. When I gave them the address. the salesperson told me I couldn't use them, because my mother account went to collection. I ask why, his answer was because my mother. My mother is deceased. (i have death certificate) I don't understand why I'm getting punish for my mother, technically the company would be looking up my name and ss#. I feel that's discrimination, why am I getting punish for my mother affairs, because I have the same blood. and just because we were related that shouldn't be. I should be treated like for my mother's stuff, so, if it was someone else if they use that address would they told no.
