i previously had an account when I lived in Brooklyn. I moved and I settled with them and I paid a termination fee to them. The problem Im having is that someone else has the same name as me with property in Brentwood, NY They have oil deliveries there and Slomins constantly sends these bills to me. I do not have any property there. I constantly call and write to them adivising them of this problem. they say they will correct it and they still send me bills with finance charges.
I do not want to be responsible for this and I dont want to have any collection agency asking me for money when this is not my account. Slomins must have some very stupid people working there if they cannot straighten out their records. I had trouble with them when I cancelled my account in Brooklyn because the salesman put me down as a homewoner with a 3 year contract and Slomins said I was liable for 5 years when I terminated the contract. They must be desperate for money.
im being harrassed by this company with them constantly sending me bills that are not mine. Milton of Levittown, NY March 12, 2009

I have been a customer of Solimins for 10 years, in July 24-2008 when oil was 4.99 I called Solmins for a delivery. I was told I'm setup for automatic Delivery and my next Del. would be 10-09. I said I wanted a Del. asap due to the rapid increases of oil prices. this is where it gets CRAZY. the Rep told me she could guarantee the 4.99 price for my next delivery, if I agree to a new contract. I said no I don't want a contract. she insisted that I take the contract since mine will expire in August 2008. I again said NO. with that she offered me a six month contract for 109.00 and lock me to 4.99per gallon price. My mistake was I told her to mail me the contract I will look it over and call them back.
When I got the contract on 7-11-08 it was for one YEAR not six months. I called them and told them I would not be needing their services anymore . I also mailed in writing notfing them that I was dicontinuing their service. On October 12-2009 I got an invoice for 118.05 and 2.58 late charge total 120.63 I had no ties with Slomins after Aug. 2008 and had notified them I forgot about them one day in OcterI got a call from a very Rude repon my cell phone on my wat to work demanding I pay. I explaind to him That I had to call back his response was you talk to me now or we will [expletive] your credit. I said Good By.
Now it January 2009 I get a letter from a collection company stating I owe Slomins 401.00 for a delivery they made I proof to them I did not owe them this money by showing cancel checks, Now the same collection states That the made a mistake it was for brich of contract and that Slomins will take 50% of the total to or 200.00 and it will go away, Im Sorry in these hard time I will not give my money for nothing. Is a verbal conversation a contract commitment. Not in these United States of America.
I am now being threaten with negative and incorrect reporting to the credit agency I have worked very hard to keep a good credit score records. How can this be justified. Davitrie of Mastic Beach, NY March 5, 2009

I got an oil contract with Slomin's on 9/21/2008 via email. They were delivering oil to me and I was paying the bills on time. I received a phone call from them saying they are closing my account to the fact the I was not using enough oil and now wants me to pay a penalty of 499. They can't tell me how much oil I should be using, they don't know the situation I am in, because times are so hard right now we are forced to cut back on everything, I work part time and simply cannot afford to just hand them over 500. This is outrageous. I never wanted my account closed in their contract it doesn't state how much oil I should get from them. There must be something that can be done to companies like this that just tries to rip off poor hard working people like myself.
Got another bill from them today and now they said if payment is not received in full they will start taking finance charge against the account. I am frustrated and feel harased by their behavior. Anne of South Brunswick, NJ March 2, 2009

Doing business with Slomin's once they have you they take everything, bully you and give you absolutely NOTHING in return. My contract is in it's last year. I have not been able to use the alarm since the 2nd month after I got it because it keeps going off, the installation was terrible and the pieces are falling off the windows and doors, they are definitely not monitoring it and want to charge me 200 per hour for service.
The salesman lied to me about everything and they had a lawyer try to take take me to court when I withheld payment for breach of contract. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH SLOMIN. We need a class action against this company and if anyone is willing to take them on, I'm in.

Slomin's service department said that my Hot water storage tank company in not in business anymore. I looked up the company, Amtrol located in Rhode Island and found out they are still in business. Slomnins wanted me to spend 2500 to replace this unit which has a list price of 1215.00
