Deposits on hold

We had payments made by credit card. These deposits were put on hold, over a week ago I might add, and stated that we would receive an email regarding these deposits.  I have been on the phone for over an hour verifying the business and these deposits and this was supposed to resolve the issue.  The deposits are still on hold and I have attempted to have an online chat but the first person that I was chatting with just disappeared after getting my information, and I didn't get a resolution then the second person sent me some form to verify and it wouldn't open so wouldn't help me.  How does anybody get there money when they have done what appears to be following the guidelines.  I get the first deposits be held for verification for a couple of day longer but a week and a half is unacceptable. Especially when I spoke to someone that verified the company and account information and they assured me that the conversation we had would resolve the matter and this was a week ago.  I get all kinds of emails from Quickbooks, including the "How did we do" after my phone call, but I can't get an email to clear this issue.  Very, very disappointed.

Deposits on hold

Hi there,hcarter1. 

 

I appreciate you providing details of your issue and how the call went. Let me address your deposit concerns so you can get back to business. 

 

When something unexpected occurs in your transactions, a hold may be placed on the funds. 

  • When your payment processing exceeds the established maximum dollar amount expected on your account. 
  • When a transaction is processed after several authorization attempts and failures. 
  • When certain transactions require verification of your business type to ensure it is compliant with the Intuit Acceptable Use Policy.
  • When our systems identify processing patterns that pose a risk to any of the parties involved. 

Also, here's what to do if you can't receive any emails from QuickBooks Payments.

Keep me posted if you have follow-up concerns about managing your customer payments. I'd be happy to help you more. Wishing you all the best.

Deposits on hold

This all sounds really good but when it takes numerous contacts on my part and no resolution it is very frustrating. Generic answers don’t fix the problem nor the issue. 

 

Regarding not being able to receive emails, that wasn’t the case. I received all of them that wanted a positive review. When I spoke to another person today it was verified that NO emails had been generated to resolve this, hard to receive what isn’t sent. 

 

 

Hopefully the fifth person I spoke with today alone, has actually helped resolve this and we can get our money. There is obviously a flaw in the workings of this process and I see that not only with my own experience but from other posts where I posted this concern. 

 

My first deposit was on March 8th and I have verified everything that was asked of me each time that I have had contact with Quickboos, and everything you listed, and was assured that it was now resolved and yet here we are. 

 

Definitely looking for an alternative to your services. 

 

Sending links to understanding issues is not helpful either because by this point we have already seen those and find them to be unhelpful when it’s not resolving the issue.  We have run out of patience by this point.
