Payroll Hold - 7 support agents unable to resolve over 6 days!

Action required
Cross this task off your to do list before May 24 to run payroll on time.
Your account is on hold, contact us

 

Payroll ran fine for 6 years. Wednesday May 19th, error in QBO showing payroll account on hold, contact us. So I did  like 10 screen shares, 6 days, 7 agents, countless ID Reactivation requests, endless cookies, cache, clearing and incognito mode and trying in safari, chrome, etc. and other devices, payment method changes and updates, company address changes (even to Disneyland's address per one rep lol), escalations to billing, escalations to Risk Management, and other "investigations", and endless sad reattempts at "hitting the resubscribe button" while on screen sharing, and primary admin takeover requests (unanswered), emails to urgentpayrollissues, We have gotten exactly nowhere. It feels like I'm training these customer service reps, it's so sad it's laughable. 

 

The worst part is when they say it's NSF when there is no indication of that. The account has thousands of dollars in it. Not to mention payroll ran fine on Wednesday 12am and the billing for may payroll charge cleared that same bank account like 2 weeks ago (verified). And it's been paying payroll for 6 years straight with no changes! So I'm paying for payroll but it can't run. How could everybody be so incompetent? Surely, somebody can fix this awful problem? Who's in charge around here? I have a family and business to run, chatting for hours and hours everyday for 6 days to have NOTHING to show for it after a week is downright horrible. I also forgot to add that endlesslessly looking for emails that were never sent has been really stupid. 

 

Please DO NOT suggest I contact support, they cannot help me. They keep lying about it being fixed in an indefinite amount of time. If you give me directions to hit the resubscribe button in the gear account settings billing and payment I might start physically crying.

 

awesome support:

June Leah at 1:22 PM said Thank you so much for waiting, Lauren. I got confirmation that ended for the past weeks, the previous representative have been requesting to reinstate the payroll account and just recently our Product Engineer created a investigation on this " INV-71175 Unable to Resubscribe to Payroll Subscription. "Resubscribe" button is only clickable. This has been a known issue and our product engineers is still working for a fix.I really understand that you need to run payroll now, we really appreciate if you can temporarily hand out a check as our team is still currently working for a fix. What I can do right for you is to attach your case to the investigation.

As for the investigation, for now, there is no estimated time frame as when the fix is available. However, what I can rest assured that they are working for a fix now and that your case has been added to the investigation.

Thank you so much for waiting. I have reviewed all the cases on your account and unfortunately, non of them were escalated to our Risk Management team for the reactivation request, that's the reason why you have not been contacted by our Payroll Risk team about this.

And this is the request number #36665
Please take note of that as it might be asked by our Risk Management team when they contact you within 2 business days

QuickBooks Specialist
This time for sure, it will definitely go through and you will be contacted.

Payroll Hold - 7 support agents unable to resolve over 6 days!

I feel your pain! I had the same experience with Payroll. There is no emergency support department and if you are like me, you have 4-5 different people trying to solve an issue. The sad part is you get aligned with someone on the other side of the world working during the night when you obviously not working. By the time there is any resolution, payroll is late and it makes for more work than need be. For the size of Quickbooks, their support systems are a complete fail to their customers and the employees of the businesses that use them. There is never any sense of urgency on their end and you enter the rabbit hole to get the help you need.

Payroll Hold - 7 support agents unable to resolve over 6 days!

My Quickbooks Online Payroll issue with Action Required contact us your account is on hold was finally resolved on the 6th day (5th business day early morning). Our company had no "Primary Admin" under users only "Admin" role and we were unable to assign one. We put in a request on a Saturday but didn't include the articles of incorporation since we were an LLC, also I wasn't signed into the user account I wanted to transfer the Master Admin to when filling the form. So Monday I filled out the form again, and chose the correct business type and was logged into the user that we wanted to assign Primary Admin (master admin), and included the articles of incorporation. It was approved at 7pm MST after 12 hours or so. The actual change to PRIMARY ADMIN role didn't not happen until the following morning around 6am. I didn't get any email about any urgent issues with payroll and no warning. Once we had a PRIMARY ADMIN role viewable in qbo under USERS I hit resubscribe in the accounts and settings and it said success (it had always said success before) and this time (the 100th time) it actually resubscribed our company!
