Hi csautoparts79-gm,

 

I know how important it is to have access to your account. Let's try a few things.

 

If you haven't already, try doing the basic troubleshooting steps like clicking on I forgot my user ID or Password, so you'll be asked to reset your password. Or, follow the article about recovering an account.

 

Alternatively, you can call our QuickBooks Online Support. They use more tools to check this further.

 

If there's anything that I can help you with, feel free to visit us back through this thread.

Locked out or it won't run/open?  There's a major issue with the latest Windows update.  Windows removed Internet Explorer and QB will NOT RUN ON ANYTHING BUT IE.  And to get around it, you have to back load the prior version of Windows.

 

Intuit is NEVER timely with anything.  It's so bloody frustrating.

My problem is still not resolved. I am unable to get anyone on the phone who can help me. They all say they can’t and I have called the number on the back of my card several times. I have deleted the app and reinstalled, changed my password and have had 2 weeks not of declined purchases. My business is failing because of QuickBooks. I will need to take legal action. This is unacceptable.

My issue has not been resolved. I have spent 2 weeks getting the run around and dealing with declined purchases! I earned this money through my business and noe i can’t access it! This is theft! I will be taking legal action because my business is failing due to this issue and the customer service is terrible! I have re-installed the app, changed my password and everything else I have been asked to do! This is unacceptable!

@csautoparts79-gm 

Your tag is QuickBooks Online but you mention "removing the app and reinstalling". Are you using QB Online or QB Desktop?

Now my transactions access is no longer there either! This is crazy.  Someone needs to call me and fix this.

Let's make sure you'll be able to reach out to our support team, csautoparts79-gm.

 

I know how you want to access your transactions without any issues. Generally, once you've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, this will fix everything. You'll have to make sure that you're logged in to the correct QuickBooks Online (QBO) so you'll be able to see the transactions. Also, let's try resetting the app to fix the issue, this will reset all disabled and default apps, notifications, background data, and permission restrictions.

  1. Click Help.
  2. Choose Reset App Data.

 

On the other hand, our support team may have been receiving a lot of calls that's why they're unable to attend to you. You'll want to contact them again in case you're still experiencing problems. Here's how to reach them:

  1. Click the (?) Help icon and enter Talk to a human (then type it again when prompted).
  2. When asked by the bot, enter your concern.
  3. Select I still need a human, then proceed with Contact us or Get help from a human.
  4. Choose either Chat or Callback.

 

For your reference, you can go through this link to help manage your account: Account Management.

 

Reach out to us if you need anything else about accessing your account. We're here to help you.

Since the issue persists, I'd suggest reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team. They can take a closer look at your situation and investigate this further. It'll also allow them to submit a ticket to our engineering team to alert them about the issue if necessary.

Are you addressing this to my last response? Bear in mind, we are not part of Intuit support. Just need to clarify your case before commenting as a fellow member of this community. Hope it clarifies.
