Hi,
 
Can you please assist me on how can we reactivate our quick books account because it's expired already, because the email we registered ([email address removed]) we're not using anymore that's why we won't get notified.

You quick response is highly appreciated.

Thanks for joining this conversation, @jabalalnartradin. Based on your screenshot, you'll need to reach out to the master admin of the account so they can help you reactivate your QuickBooks Online account. 

 

If the master admin of the account is no longer available, contact our QuickBooks Online Customer Support team to help you with the master admin claim. 

 

You can also refer to the article shared by my peer MariaSoledadG for more information. 

 

Let me know if there's anything else that you need, I'm always around to help.

Hello: Thank you for the reply. I have filled out the form and received a case number. I was not, however, able to supply a image  of the ID of my partner nor a letter giving be permission to be admin. He has, as they say, "ghosted" me. 

I have sent multiple emails politely asking for access so I can file the tax return for the business and then shut it down and have received no response. 

I was able to include and image of the Articles of Organization that shows me as one of the organizers. I am hoping that is enough. If not, I assume I will have to take some sort of legal action as yet to be determined.

Your former partner can access your QBO account as the Primary Admin, correct?

Can you access it as a Company Admin?
