Need Real Conformation of an ACH Payment

A vendor disappeared after making a $55k progress payment through QuickBooks via ACH. Phone numbers and emails don't work, and we need proof of the ACH transfer hitting that account for our lawyer. The problem is that QuickBooks is an intermediary; we transferred the $55k to them, and then they paid the vendor. As a result, we cannot acquire the proof that the money really made it from QuickBooks to the vendor.

I keep calling QuickBooks to get this proof, and they keep directing me to the "receipt" in BillPay, which only shows that we scheduled a payment, not that it was actually transferred. It's not really proof of anything.

QBO support has also supplied us with Trace IDs for the transaction, but they don't do anything since we are neither the originator (QuickBooks was) or the recipient (the vendor was) and the vendor's bank has declined sharing anything.

I have called QuickBooks several times and am currently on hold again. The gentleman (case # [Removed]) is telling me that QuickBooks is a "big company" and that there is no way to trace a payment QuickBooks made. Additionally, none of his supervisors are allowing him to escalate the issue or provide any other contact information to me or our legal representation.

This is absolutely bonkers. QuickBooks just took $55k from us and tossed it in a hole and are now adamant that there is nothing more they can do.

Does anyone have any other method of getting in touch with someone beyond the general number? This cannot be the only way to interact when an issue is this large.

Thank you in advance

@publiclibrary  Well, a little birdie has said that there is a Facebook group primarily themed around trying to bring litigation and basic accountability to Intuit's doorstep.

 

...

 

That's pretty much it. Just be the noisiest wheel in the building.

 

Otherwise, they'll be happy to sweep things under the rug just like they did the case number you attempted to supply.

 

Because god forbid customers be able to connect with each other around a common issue.

@AdonL  "It's not the service we want you to experience, Publiclibrary."

 

@BigRedConsulting  Man, they really never stop trotting out this tired old line, do they?

 

You would think they'd feel at least a little bit embarrassed about it.

I had several callbacks from agents who all supplied me with the same "receipt" in QuickBooks BillPay that doesn't show anything other than an estimated delivery date. 

 

Clyde (15123689332) told me "we're a big company" and there's "no way to track the payment" that was paid through QuickBooks's bank. They are also their own bank, he said. But they still can't provide that information. He put me on hold to check with his supervisors, only to come back and tell me they told him he couldn't escalate the issue, nor could he provide me with an article telling me who else to contact at the legal department. 

 

So far, AdonL, your colleagues at QuickBooks have told me they cannot and will not help. If someone above bottom level customer support wants to reach out to us to make this right, I'm sure you can find my number through my account.

It's interesting that other countries have mechanisms for filing complaints with QuickBooks. 

 

QuickBooks is effectively aiding and abetting felony theft of Public Works money and the rep on the phone told me "there's no way to track if that money was received from our bank." None.

 

He also told me his supervisors would not let him share a phone number for our attorney to reach out to for further assistance.

We're just experiencing the experience they provide. What a silly thing for them to say.

Copy, paste. Copy, paste.

 

I don't really even think they know what they're copy pasting and how stupid it makes them look.

@publiclibrary 

Try to contact your bank and specifically ask for the Nacha trace number. This 15-digit confirmation number is provided by the funding bank and identifies the payment. You can give the Nacha trace number to your vendor as proof of payment. It also assures you that the Nacha scheme has managed your payment. Both payors and vendors can use the trace number to track and find the payment. They can present the Nacha to the receiving bank in order to locate the payment in question.

 

For the next bill payment with a big amount, I would recommend to use Melio for free. You can find the Nacha trace number easily in your dashboard. You can also get the cashback to pay your first bill.
