What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I ordered 150 gallons of home heating kerosene from a fuel company last October.
When the delivery was done, the driver told me he accidentally put 300 gallons in the tank, instead of the 150 I ordered.
I mailed the company a check for the 150 gallons I ordered, since I was not prepared to pay the approximately $800 for the amount they actually delivered.
I believe it was not an accident, but that they wanted to save themselves a trip if I ordered more later.
They have billed me for the extra kerosene, with late fees, but I have not paid yet.
I would like to tell them that they can either remove the excess kerosene from my tank [probably impractical] or wait until March for their payment,
without penalty( when I might normally re-order, if the 150 gallons did not get me through the cold weather).
What are my rights in this situation? Must I pay on a timely basis for the extra kerosene I did not order?
Am I even legally bound to pay for the extra kerosene at all?
Thank you,
