This isn't the experience we want to give, @purpleshirts.
To help you check the status of the closed account, I suggest reaching out to our Customer Support team. Their tools can access this information in a secure environment and provide you further instructions on how to get your money.
You can reach them by arranging a callback or through chat. You can do it by going to the Help icon at the top right of the account. Follow the steps below:
- Go to the Help icon to connect to a live support agent.
- Click on the Contact Us button and provide some details about this concern.
- Provide us with some information about your concern in the What can we help you with? box and click on Continue.
- You'll now be provided options on how to connect to our Customer Support.

I'm also adding this resource to know more about recording invoice payments: Record invoice payments in QuickBooks Online.
Let me know if you still have follow-up questions about customer payments or any other concerns. I'll be there to help in any way I can. Have a wonderful day!
