Have any of you had any luck having an oil company waive the $15 charge per royalty check for receiving a paper check and not having checks direct deposited to your bank? Two years ago, I sent a letter to the company demanding that it stop deducting the $15 per check fee. Not only did I not get a response from the operator, they have not paid me any revenues since that time although the well is producing. My oil and gas assets are in an IRA administered by a trust department at a bank. The trust department does not accept ACH royalty payments.
As an aside, I need to talk to an experienced Oklahoma oil and gas attorney who is familiar with post production deductions. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d appreciate them.
