O STAR
I have rented an apartment at the Oaks , in Ocklawaha Fl for over 3 yrs. l & neighbors have enjoyed good service from Belleview Bottled Gas for yrs they were the original installers many yrs ago for gas for our stoves. A week or 2 ago I needed to refill my gas tank. All went well, they refilled my gas tank as usual, until about an hour later this vigilante appeared ! He descended on me like a swat team . he announced with authority that the tank was against code. I said , "you all installed them yrs ago " he said that codes have changed , he had to move tank,& began removing tank. he lied telling me he'd just move it "over there". the next thing I knew he began to move it off to his truck. I asked him to wait, I haven't been able to cook for a week, give some time for notice please. He seemed to enjoy this attack on my peace & tranquility , without notice ! I asked him to give me some time, I couldn't afford eating out anymore, that I needed to have some time to adjust. He responded with a sort of grin , he was having a good day !!! My 72nd birthday is just around the corner & I felt like Attila the Hun had just burned my village !!!!! at my age , not having any family nearby & not having any money till my next social security check I was left feeling desperate & isolated. I learned later that this employee could have been the brother in law of the owner. Meanwhile my landlord has been looking at options & pricing. The change over is expensive & will take time. I now have electric, but 2 of my neighbors have to wait for a new line to be dropped . Meanwhile I caught this guy sneaking on the property & he stole away with another tank ! They are welcome to all the tanks as soon as we switch service . Belleview should have been more courteous & given notice & time. That would have been the professional response , but instead there response was hostile as if we were the enemy ! read more
