Well, either way 100% or 50% I am thankful for any amount.  The problem that I have is when Cheha lies directly to our faces.  For one I find it decieving that they would write the 100% amount on the top of our contract and now they want to post a message on our site (GAS LEASE UPDATE link) HIGHLIGHTING where it says that those who own 50% will get 50% bonus and those owning 100% will get 100%.  Now why wouldn't they have done that at the meeting on our contract.  Even bigger than that, my husband specifically asked, if we only own 50% then do when only get 50% of the bonus and the cheha rep said NO, you will get the full 100% bonus and wrote a nice looking figure on the top of our contract.  I really don't appreciate being lied too.  Thanks alot!

They did lie and that's scary! I received 100% and I only own 50% of the mineral rights. I hope they don't expect 50% back because they're not getting it!!

They told us the signing bonus was not based on the percent ownership of the mineral rights, it was a bonus for signing the lease and everyone would receive 100%. I'm glad I received 100% because that is what I was told I would receive but I feel really bad for the people who didn't because of the lies told. That is really bad business!

I just wonder what else they are lying about?  

 

 

Big surprise! A gas company lied to someone to get them to sign a gas lease. I hope that other residents read this and don't sign a lease. You need to work with your neighborhood and submit a lease for the best deal.

We also only received 50% after being told they had done their due diligence and we would definitely receive 100%. I am fighting it with Cheaha as we speak. I have talked to both Debbie and Michelle. They are doing the research for me, but I have found out that some of my neighbors who also own 50% actually did receive 100%.  Now if Cheaha is sending letters stating they only want to be fair, then they need to pay everyone the 100% like we were told. I'd call Debbie or Michelle at 817-246-5900.  They've implied to me that they will be sending another check for the rest of the money I'm due.  I call them about every other day to find out the status. Maybe they'll pay me just to get me off their back!
