Following McIntryres post –

If you want your oil delivery company to refuse to deliver to you even though you have signed a disclaimer (access via integral garage) and for them to be downright rude and bloody minded on the telephone, together with calling you a liar (the delivery driver was so rude I actually didn’t want him on my property) then Southern Counties is for you. To be honest I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot barge pole they are a total shower of s***.

Comment on THE UK’s BLOATED BUREAUCRACY IS A HEALTH HAZARD….. GEORGE EUSTICE MP PLEASE TAKE NOTE. by Jeremy Hurst

Hi Kevin,

I couldn’t agree more. You might want to take a look at the Business Buddy scheme that the Forum of Private Business is championing – http://bit.ly/poUDwe – You could get an MP into your place for a couple of hours to show them first hand what life is like at the sharp end. It probably won’t make any difference to the levels of bureaucracy, but they’d be under no illusions of its impact on small businesses after you’d finished with them!

All the best

Jeremy

The whole industry stinks, and I hsve been stung today for a delivery of 500l that was placed into my tank yesterday 21/06/11 by Southern County Fuels without my knowledge or consent.I was not at home, had no idea that I was going to have fuel delivered, and the tanker operator broke into my property to obtain access to my fuel tank via a full height gate with three bolts to it’s internal face. Moreover, I last received delivery of 500l at the end of march, which has hardly been touched because of the exceptional hot weather we have had during April and May. When questioning Southern Counties Fuel I was told that this was not tresspass, as they claimed I had agreed verbally over the phone to a fuel plan which delivers 500l every 3 months. I explained that in January this scheme had been discussed with me, (when they couldn’t supply me any oil due to regional shortages), and again in March when I placed my first order for 500l with this company. It is important to me to point out that it was discussed, but I made no formal commitment to this fuel plan, somebody decided to sign me up without written consent. On speaking to the “manager” before he hung up I was basically told that I was lying, I had verbally agreed over the phone, and that this was legally binding – does anybody know of any other legally binding verbal agreement in any other industry. No letter of my involvement to this scheme was ever sent to me, and as I tried to point out to Mr. L. Shorton before he abruptly terminated our conversation, he had no record of my bank details to enable a direct debit agreement, which to me highlighted my lack of consent to this scheme.As it is June, and a lot warmer, I wonder if this deception is commonly used at Southern County Fuels to maintain sales during the summer months. Southern Counties Fuel is owned by DCC/ Energy Acquisitions. By the way I am being asked to pay considerably more for 500l in June than I was in March, I was led to believe by all Oil suppliers that prices come down in the Summer months. In short if you want to be delivered something you don’t require, without your consent, and with a company breaking into your property, only to be called a liar by senior management even though there is not a shred of paper evidence to disproove your protestations, then Southern Counties Fuel is the company for you! And now, I’m off to the Office of fair Trading, wish me luck….And if anyone out there has had similar treatment I’d love to know, because to me it stinks of the highest deception during months when suppliers know they have to drum up business revenues.
