Apparently i owe quickbooks a little over $1k because a customer paid me and quickbooks gave me the money and the customer ended up having insufficient funds??

Hi there, @augustarenovatio.

I'd love to help. However, I'd like to ask some questions for further clarification regarding your concern.

How do you collect payments from your customers? Are you using QuickBooks Payments? Did your customer overpay you?

Looking forward to your response.

I do collect through QB.  And from what i was told by QB,  the customer paid me but didnt have the funds to cover the payment but QB had already paid me for him and when they realized his funds were no good they came to me wanting the money back..  this is what QB told me the other day.. which baffles me because. Why wouldnt QB go after him for the funds? I did the work i was supposed to do. Its not my fault QB decided to give me the payment before they verified his funds were actually there..
