How do you actually get help from intuit/qbo? We have unexpected charges on a *personal/unlinked bank account* that say INTUIT PYMT SOLN ACCT FEE.

i've tried clicking on the chat in the help menu and have timed-out countless times waiting, despite it saying that i'll be helped in 5 minutes.

today, i put in a request for a call this morning. i'm still waiting on a call back.

how can you actually reach someone, or get assistance?

Hey there, @jerryu.

I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to us here in the Community.

Our wait time to speak with a representative is longer than normal. We do apologize for this. You can always reach out here in the Community anytime you have questions or concerns. We're here to help.

The charge that you see is related to merchant services. You can see the charge and who it's for inside the product. Follow the steps below on how to do this.

1. Click the Gear Icon and choose Account Settings.

2. Click on the Payments tab.
3. Go to Merchant services and run a deposit report to see who paid in the deposit.

In addition, you can see https://help.quickbooks.intuit.com/en_US/contact reach the qbo chat.

Please do let me know if you need further assistance. Take care!

my payments tab ins completely blank/empty. i only have the learn more button with the description; we don't use merchat services. i'm not sure where merchant services is - we don't take payments in quickbooks.

i will note again: the charges in question are not in any account associated with quickbooks online. they are not in the business accounts that we manage with qbo.

the charges from intuit are in a separate/personal account that is not associated with our qbo. it is in a bank account associated with a different login than the user that is associated with the accounts that are hooked up with qbo.

the charges are in my wife's personal bank account; they are not in quickbooks; that bank account isn't used to pay for qbo or any intuit service. [qbo monthly charges are paid out of the business account that is in qbo; this isn't a problem]

so:

we have two $20.00 charges (one month apart) labeled as INTUIT PYMT SOLN ACCT FEE in my wife's personal, unrelated, not-in-quickbooks-online account that is not used to pay our monthly quickbooks-online-fee.

what should i do to get an answer on where these charges are coming from?

Hello @ jerry-umlauf.

You may consider contacting the QuickBooks Online Phone Support Team since this is an open forum here, we can’t pull up an account with the personal information.

An agent of this team can pull up your account in a secure environment and go over specific billing questions.

Due to COVID-19, we have limited staffing and reduced our support hours to 6AM-6PM PT Monday-Friday.Please check out our support hours and contact us at a time convenient to you.

I'll be around for any additional questions you have. Thanks.

yes, i have tried calling ... or at least i put myself in the queue but i never get called back.

today, the help request worked; i got a call back and got my issue resolved (finally!).

for anyone that has mystery charges labeled as: INTUIT PYMT SOLN ACCT FEE

here's our situation:

wife had merchant account [where you accept credit card payments via card reader] with inuit back in 2014. last used in 2015 - idle since then.

intuit recently made changes and is now charging monthly for this service.

because the account wasn't closed, the charges just started in march.

resolution was to contact intuit, close account, and request refund.

Where exactly is this "Help Icon"?

Is it on this page?
On the Intuit home page?
I've tried calling the toll-free number, but it disconnects me and tells me to speak with an expert online.

I have the same INTUIT PYMT SOLN ACCT FEE on my personal checking account every month.

How do contact support? I don't see any Help icon on this page.

Thanks for posting here in the Community, @cmnslcf.

The Help button can be found at the top-right corner in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. You'll need to log in to your QBO account and follow the detailed steps provided by my colleague above to reach our support team. I've attached a screenshot below for your visual reference.

However, if you're using the QuickBooks Desktop version, we've recently made an update as to how our customers can get support. To streamline the process, it's done within the product. Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. Click Contact Us.
3. Enter your concern, then select Let's Talk.
4. Select Start messaging.

As always, feel free to visit our QuickBooks Community help website if you need tips and related articles in the future.

Please touch base with me here for all of your QuickBooks needs, I'm always happy to help. Have a good day.

I have not used QuickBooks since 2014. I do not have the program installed on my PC any longer.

I have been getting the runaround for nearly two hours in the chat window.

It seems ridiculous that Intuit would change the account parameters and start billing without bothering to notify the account holders by mail, email or phone.

I'll turn this over to my attorney tomorrow. I'm not a fan of being assessed unauthorized charges.

How did you actually get a person to help you? It sounds like you've tried everything. I have been trying for hours to get a person to help me.

Did you get this figured out? I have a subscription service I'm trying to cancel from years ago- also don't have an account to log into - there is no phone support.

I am desktop version -  I don't have a HELP icon and I also have a charge of 8.19 for the last two months and have NO idea why.  I can't find a phone#, can't find the help icon or any other suggestion -  can someone give me the number to get in the que?

Hi there, @kerleigh.

I can help walk you through the steps on how to check the billing history.  

Let's log in to your Customer Account Maintenance Portal (CAMPs). This way, you'll know where the charges came from.  

Here's how: 

1. Go to camps.intuit.com. 
2. Click the View your transaction history button. 
3. In the Period drop-down, select a date range. 
4. Locate the amount and check the details. 

Please note that you can select transactions from the past two years. To learn more about the process, you may visit this article: Find your QuickBooks Desktop billing history.

Once done, and the charges are not appropriate to your account, you can contact the Customer Care Team. However, we're unable to provide a phone number because we've recently updated our support experience. Due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus), support for QuickBooks Desktop is currently limited to chat only.

Let me show you how: 

1. Go to the Help button located on the upper right corner, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help. 
2. Click Contact Us. 
3. Type Contact Us in the description field, then hit Search. 
4. Choose Start a Message, then complete the needed information.

       5. Tap Submit.

I've added a helpful article about how to update the payment method, change business information, and many more. 

• What are CAMPs, and how do I use it?

Fill me in if you need anything else. I'll be more than happy to help you. Have a good one. 

This same exact thing is happening to me! Just now was the second time I've spent 60 - 90 minutes "chatting" to no avail. Fortunately for me, the bizarre charge ($16/ month auto deducted, same description) is from an account I have wanted to close. I'm going to close the account and that will solve the issue. If whomever wants money, and if it's legitimate, I'm confident they will contact me. 

Very frustrated

Hello @Mel2020,

I get how you’d be frustrated in this situation. I’d like to shed some light on that type of charge. INTUIT PYMT SOLN ACCT FEE is typically associated with a Merchant Services account. Did you ever accept credit card transactions through that bank account? I know you have “chatted” and not got a resolution, however, you will need to contact our support team to have the charges refunded if you don’t have an active account. We definitely don’t want you paying for something you don’t have.

You can use our QuickBooks Online test drive program so you can contact our support. Here's how:

1. Go to this link: https://qbo.intuit.com/redir/testdrive.
2. Complete the Security Verification.
3. Click Help in the upper-right corner and select Contact Us.
4. Enter the details of your concern and select Let's talk.
5. Select how you want to reach them and enter the necessary information.

You should be able to get a representative that can pull up and review your account.

Let me know how it goes! I’ll be here if you have any other questions or if there is anything else I can help with.

SOLN-INTUIT means they are stealing from you.

Its a bounced check fee that they tag with this unclear description.

They tell you that you have a 1000

Balance.

You transfer a 1000 balance to your regular bank.

They charge you 75.00 bounce check fee but don't tell you what its for.
