Data Deletion Request will not complete

I have a total of (3) Quickbooks subscriptions in my Intuit account.  However, only one of them is active.  The other two subscriptions were canceled February of 2023, and October of 2022 - so longer than a year.  I want to delete these two companies from my Intuit account.  Yesterday I spoke with an Intuit customer support agent, and she walked me through the process of submitting a Data Deletion request.  I submitted the request, and it told me that I would be emailed if further action was necessary on my part, to complete the deletion.  I did receive an email and I followed the instructions.  Basically all that happened was that I resubmitted the deletion request.  Then I would receive another email with further instructions, and so forth.  It seems like a never-ending loop, and I've gone through it about 4 times now, so I'm posting here for a solution.  I am including multiple screenshots, showing the entire process I keep going through.  

**EDIT** This system I guess will only allow one picture.

I wonder what this is supposed to mean?

There's something to do in undefined?  And no punctuation, either!

 

Does someone actually get paid to write nonsense messages like this? QuickBooks Online is becoming comically stupid.

Thank you for your advice.  I have now spent in excess of 3 hours between 3 separate chat/screen sharing sessions.  I'm getting nowhere and every time I pull up a new chat, we seem to start all over again.  The agent wants to show me how to perform a data deletion request.  Are there any competent support staff members there, which you might be able to connect me with?

This is standard and normal for Intuit support. You've probably figured out by now that the reps have no ability to solve anything technical.

I am having the EXACT same issue!!! Seems to be a problem with Intuit.  They provide a process and have an elaborate Privacy Policy - but it all means nothing since it does not do what it is supposed to do.  Why should users have to expend so much time and energy to exercise their right to delete???????   I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with support yesterday - they were of 0 help.  I had reported the issue on 6/27 and the rep said she’d ’monitor my request’ and call me back. She did not.  

 

Intuit - you say you respect our privacy. You provider a process for users to exercise their data rights, but then you put up road blocks and walls to prevent that from occurring.  I want to exercise my right to delete my data.

I would like my issue escalated too. How can I do that? thank you.

Thanks for joining this thread, donnat2.

 

You can permanently delete your Intuit Accout and all of the data associated with it from your Intuit Account Manager. If you do so, all licenses and subscriptions will be deleted and can't be recovered.

 

Here's how to permanently delete an Intuit Account and all of its associated data:
 

  1. Sign in to the Intuit Account Manager.
  2. Go to your Data privacy section.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Select Make a delete request.

 

Requests can take up to 90 days to be completed. During this time, I'd recommend not creating a new Intuit Account using the same email address, or your new data may also get deleted.

 

I've also included a detailed resource about managing data which may come in handy moving forward: Access & manage personal data from your Intuit Account

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a great Wednesday!
