I paid for the bill up through 2/9th, received on 2/10. I have since received a bill of charges covering gas usage from 2/9-2/29. Not only was I no longer living there, but the usage was the highest in the year long contact I had with the company.I have since made several efforts to explain the situation to the company, offering to show them my email from January with my original request to terminate the account, as well as my apartment lease end date, they still have refused to accept any of this and will not waive the charges.The property manager has also declined to help, stating that this is between Nicor and myself.I have attached the bill, it is locked with the password of my **************

              Our gas service was shut off to a ground floor retail store with regular hours. We called to have our service reconnected and was scheduled with a 4 hour window for a technician to come and reconnect service. Their technician claims to have arrived but our salespeople never saw him come in, neither did our security cameras. He claims he called but left no messages. Hours later I noticed a text message and then combed my missed call history to find a random number (that could have easily been mistaken for spam). I called this number back and the guy was super defensive saying he did his job. WTF? How is that doing your job? It's not a residential location where someone needs to let him in. It's literally a store with regular hours. When I made the service appointment, I was very clear that it's a retail store and not a locked residential home. So unprofessional, said he called and waited for 15 minutes yet there was no voicemail or text saying he was there. Nicor Gas thinks because they are a monopoly that they can just shrug off their work! So unprofessional.
