I am mentally disabled and unemployed in the process of filing for disability. Last year James City County Social Services bought me heating equipment for the winter. The city picked and hired the company, not me, and a man from Revere Gas came out to take measurements and forced me to sign paperwork against my will. I said to him I'm not paying for it the city is and he said he knows its ok and its just authorizing them to do the work. I said I really don't want to sign anything and he said they won't put in the heater tanks and lines in if I don't, and I would not be charged for anything, and they would not install the equipment if I did not sign it.

Mid way through the winter, even though I had more than enough propane left to last the winter, my tanks were refilled without my permission. They trespassed onto my property clearly marked no trespassing to tamper with equipment that was paid for by the city, fill up my tanks without my permission, and bill me for it. When I got the bill, I called them and they said the paper I was forced to sign against my will (they would not install the equipment without signing it) was a refill contract. I could not read it, I am mentally disabled, and if I didn't it they would have not installed the equipment. I was told that it was only an authorization to install what was already paid for. The salesman that came to my house tricked a mentally challenged person into signing something I said I didn’t want to sign, and threatened to not do the work the city was paying them for if I didn't sign. They refused to take action against their salesman, indicating this is an acceptable and even encouraged business practice by them.

On the phone, I gave them official trespass notice they are not to come onto my property again. Recently, I discovered they have trespassed again onto my property, robbed where they have stolen hardware connected to the tanks that Social Services paid for, put some kind of lock on the tanks so I can't use them unless I pay them.

I have been extorted into signing a contact I was incapable of understanding, trespassed against to refill the tanks against my permission, extorted again if I don't pay them___, trespassed against again after giving them notice, robbed of hardware that belonged to me that was paid for by the city, and once again extorted I have to give them money to take the locks off and return what was bought and paid for as mine.

I am mentally disabled, unemployed, and now will be forced to live in the freezing cold this entire winter.
