Risk Department holding funds and not able to speak to them directly

I received a payment for services rendered on Aug 26,2023 and Quickbooks has never released the funds. I have called countless times and an told to check my email. Nothing has arrived. On top of that they shut my account down and are continuing to charge me $60/for a service I'm unable to access. In order for me to removed my cc # 

So I need to get my $1150 that was held and reimbursed for the charges since September 2023

I too am infuriated by the lack of professionalism and accountability. This is theft in my book.

I love these canned answers that don't mean anything.  Payments team can do nothing except close a ticket.  What good is that? BTW, no one contacts you, ever.

Hello, Flawless. I see that you're concerned about your payment being on hold after upgrading to Simple Start.

 

Placing your payment on hold means we're double-checking the payment to ensure everything remains accurate. Since you are not receiving emails from us, please check your Spam or Junk folder. The email may have gone there. 

 

Still, I suggest contacting our Merchant Service Center. They have the tools to determine why this is still being withheld. To find their phone number or chat link, please see the following article: Merchants Services Support Team

 

Here are some links that can help you understand the on-hold status for deposits:  

 

 

You can post another if you have follow-up questions about the funds.

I have a very similar issue and support is telling me it could take 5 - 10 business days  to release the hold. There is NO other option. 

 

Can you help me?

I have a very similar issue on my payroll end. They have my account on hold and are telling me it will take 5 - 10 business days to review. Which is UNACCEPTABLE!!! I can't even void the checks and write manual ones. Can you help me? I have talked to 5 different customer service reps and they all give me slightly different information but ultimately they CAN NOT HELP ME. SORRY doesn't pay my employee's bills.

Hi Jana it’s been a Month and I haven’t been able to resolve 

my suggestion is to talk to your employees I did and some understood and I had to look for money other way to avoid more problems 

I won’t say stop trying because I try every day just don’t depend on that money any time soon  

but for sure stop requesting cheques pays everything until you resolve

After four escalations of my problem, I spoke to Joshua O. He got it to work so I could at least print checks.  In addition, someone called me today and gave me a number to call.  He told me exactly what to tell them.  I have to fill out a new application for the underwriter.  I assume that means banking. I am going to call and see if they can really fix it.  I'm not counting on it but maybe....

I received a call after my case was escalated four times.  The rep told me he was going to close my payroll application, and this would disconnect my bank account.  By closing the payroll, it would trigger an application.  He also told me to call [removed by moderator].  They would walk me through it.  But instead, this so-called rep said someone would call me in two working days.  I told him this was not acceptable.  I have been waiting 5 months.  I need to know where and how to find this application and fill out an application.  He hung up on me.

@FriedensChurch  Yeah, that tracks.

 

As a certain member of this community is fond of saying, this is exactly how Intuit wants their customer support to be.

 

If they wanted it to be good, as it once was, it would be good.

Yes, I require further help.  I had a call from the "back room".  They gave me the payroll support number.  I was to tell them to delete my payroll account and reactivate it, and this would generate a new application.  I called support three times and none of the reps had a clue what they were talking about.  They also said I would get an email with instructions.  I have been told that before too and have never received an email with instructions.  Any advice other than some canned answers?

Our support team can also determine why you didn't receive the previous emails and ensure the details entered in our system are correct and updated.

 

Here's how:

Good luck with that.  I ran my first direct deposit payroll last week thanks to two women in customer service in the Philippines. They figured out what to do and called me back several times.  Thank you, Angel and Clyde Jane.) It had been on hold since February 19th.  Risk Management is a myth.  I think it is an AI program that kicks your account out, but never tells why.  Call support until you finally find someone who knows what they are doing.  It may take a while so be prepared.

I am having a very similar issue that is still going on sine Nov 20th this is when my nightmare began.    I went to pay my vendor who I have paid many times before through bill pay and my payment got cancelled, then 2/more vendors I paid before payments got cancelled.   Was on the phone for over 6/hours with QB to try to resolve this issue.   They gave me several reasons like R20 code "your not transferring to a checking". UMM Yes I am sending to checking account the same account I have used in the past, then the issue was a daily limit issue, then a transaction limit.   Well I found a not great work around to try to get my vendor paid.   Well if QB checking/greendot wasn't screwing with me enough today they declined the payment to my payroll company so none of my employees can be paid due to a monthly transaction limit...  Hello I processed double this in past months as a matter of fact I have every two weeks since this QB account been upon I have a $100k payroll being processed.    The worst part is I can't even get my money out of Greendot since they have these limits that don't allow me to conduct business.    My next call will be to my attorney and the attorney general...   Funny as I was typing this my payroll got through, but I still can't pay my vendors.
