Holding funds for chargebacks that can't happen is illegal!

This is my official complaint with regards to the service received from Quickbooks Online from 2/7 - 2/22.  The case is #15113100224.  I consulted an attorney and this case violates UCC 3-420 as there is no risk of chargeback on any transaction because this is the only transaction on this Merchant Account. There are NO transactions on this merchant account except this one, therefore, if this money was refunded to the customer - as requested - there would be no additional transactions that would be subject to dispute or chargeback.  This makes the retention of these funds unlawful conversion (UCC 3-420) , as there is no basis for them to be held. Returning the funds to the customer relieves all current and potential future liability between DM Boost, LLC and Quickbooks. Who do I need to contact to resolve this immediately?  Not in another 1 - 2 business days that has alreadt turned into 14 days

Hi, tlymon.

 

I understand that it must have been stressful for you. Rest assured, I'll direct you to the best support to address your issue promptly.

 

While I'm aware that you've already contacted our support, I would still suggest contacting our Merchant Services support again, as they have the tools to access your account and provide you with the details of the status of your case. 

 

In addition, here are some articles to find out why deposits are delayed and handle chargebacks:

Holding funds for chargebacks that can't happen is illegal!

I have spoken to someone just about every day since 2/8, and each day, I get a different response that clearly sounds like it comes from a script of what my issues sound like.  It has been "escalated" several times and I have yet to receive the promised returned call.  Nobody is available to provide details, so I am talking in circles.  I was told on 2/16 that the money would be received on Monday I was told on 2/20 that the hold was cleared and the funds would be received "very soon".  On 2/23, I was told the account was closed on 2/16 and the money us being held and that hold can be up to 6 months for potential chargebacks....Chargebacks from whom?  This is the only transaction. If you return their money, there is a remaining liability.
