QuickBooks are holding my funds and have shutdown my account. 5 calls later and still no solution...

I've been a customer since starting a QuickBooks self employed account in high school... I love the product as it is simple to use and has been easy up until I recently started a new company and created a new business account. 

 

After submitting multiple invoices and getting them paid by clients I waited 2 weeks to then finally get an email telling me that QuickBooks has held my funds for some reason.

 

From there I had a call with QuickBooks and they told me that the invoices looked correct and I was not violating any guidelines.

 

2 days later I get a call from another person saying they will be shutting down both accounts for  "self funding" and there is nothing I can do to stop this.

 

They would release the funds as a curtesy one time but would close not only the new account but any accounts I had in my name.

 

2 days later no funds are received and both accounts still closed... I call again this time a very polite lady helps me out and apologizes for the issues and they too see that everything I am doing isn't going against their guidelines. They let me know that they will escalate the issue but I would have to wait another 2 days.

 

Again 2 days later and nothing changed. funds are still on hold and I get an email that I haven't submitted the requested information.

 

But the requested information had been sent a week prior and there was no new information that the email requested. 

 

I had another call today and was informed that the previous. QuickBooks employees had sent the request into the "Wrong cue"... not sure what that means.

 

During this call I asked that I could get in touch with the supervisors that make these decisions so I could get everything taken care of in one go and not have the same conversation 5 times and ultimately wait another 2 days for nothing to happen.

 

But they let me know these people are behind closed doors and not even the employees inside QuickBooks help center could reach them.

 

Ultimately my accounts area still shutdown for something I haven't done wrong. Every customer service agent agreed that this was just an "unfortunate situation" but that they cant do anything about it now that the accounts are closed.

 

All of my funds are still locked up and I will wait another 2 days to hopefully hear back from somebody who doesn't understand what the situation is.

 

I would stay with QuickBooks but your internal communication between your employees is awful when dealing with complex issues. 

 

At this point I've waisted a week of my time on multiple calls with no definite answer as what to do next. other than "make an new account"

 

To the QuickBooks employee reading this I understand it is not your fault but I am not sure what else to do other than leave QuickBooks as it has been an awful experience trying to get anything solved.

As great a QBs can be...  The other side of the coin is that when they mess up they really mess up.

 

My suggestion would be to have an Attorney reach out to Intuit.  Support staff are often hounded to fix the problem themselves.  So therefore the problem isn't pushed up far enough to where it reaches someone that can fix it for quite a while.  Eventually it may make it, but best to have someone reach out to the top so people from the top are asking what's going on and the middle management gets nervous and they start to ask their Sr Support people.

 

Also, they said to wait 2 days...  How many days ago did this problem start???  So you've waited MORE THAN 2 days.  I'd start calling every morning to find out what happened over night on your issue and then call in the late afternoon to find out what has happened during the day.  You don't need to be a screaming lunatic, but that doesn't mean you have to be mild little kid with your hat in your hands.  Push them on what is going on and NO, 2 days each time is unacceptable.  As you know you're moving up in the chain, be sure to get the direct number for that department.  They'll push you to call the general#, but emphasize how long you've been waiting and it takes too long to go through all the transfers.

 

Also be sure to tell them they are liable for any kind of fees this issue causes you.

 

Good Luck!

Me too. They shut down my account and neither QuickBooks nor greendot bank say they can give me back my money. QuickBooks says to call greendot and greendot  to call QuickBooks. One month now and they stole over $11,000. They are criminals.

It's not the kind of experience we want you to feel, fjacobsdds.

 

In light of the severity of this issue and the urgency of your situation, I recommend contacting our Customer Support Team again for a thorough investigation. While I understand the frustration of being redirected back and forth between QuickBooks and Green Dot Bank, escalating this matter for a comprehensive review is essential.

 

Please provide detailed information about your account shutdown and missing funds to expedite the investigation and prompt resolution.

That sounds alot like what they are telling us after their attempt to steal 30k from us at EAS LLC. I call it an attempt because they are going to have much regret in the form of an expensive and tedious courtroom.We are patient and we have real experience in corporate abuse and we understand the damage that can be done to your livelihood and businesses.
