Would you pay for an unauthorized heating oil delivery? Vera Bruun of West Hartford said no way. She’s the subject of this weekend’s TBL column:

Ending a relationship is never easy, but Vera Bruun of West Hartford thought she acted properly when she mailed a notice of contract termination in mid-March 2011 with a check for what she thought was her last delivery of home heating oil from the Kasden Fuel Co. of East Hartford.

Bruun was ready to move on. She signed a service contract and delivery agreement with Superior Plus Energy Services of Winsted. In June, Superior delivered almost 230 gallons of oil to Bruun’s house. But in November, almost eight months after she sent the termination letter, Kasden Fuel pumped 147 gallons into her tank while she was out and left a bill for almost $600.

So much for an amicable parting.

    I would have flat out refused to pay and had them pump out their fuel. It only seems fair, they pumped it in, they can pump it back out.
