Words can't express the disdain I have for your phone support!!! QB notifies me of a dispute today from a sales charge 4/8 and told me I had to reply today. I checked with my client for the sale and it's not  even a dispute!!! QB says they are going to debit my bank account of hold back funds for $1500 and I made 5 calls to VIP line today...only got through to merchant services twice. Once I was on phone 30 minutes and rep promised to call me back if we lost connection. Of course we lost connection and she never called back. Thanks Laurie!! Last call I made ay 8:51PM Eastern, it took the rep 7 minutes to verify me, then she acted as go-between between me and merchant services. As soon as it hit 9pm, she said merchant services hung up and I had to call tomorrow!!! WHAT A JOKE OF A COMPANY. TO THINK YOU HANDLE FINANCES...YOU SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO EMPTY TRASH CANS!!!! I want a manager to call me tomorrow to get my files backed up and transferred to me so I can cancel anything I have to do with QB. I will make the effort no matter what it is to burn QB in any social media platform I can. Waste so much of my time with untrained idiots!!!

Your response is such a canned corporate lot of BS. After attempting several calls yesterday to sort out this dispute that is a clerical error, which I could not due to the TERRIBLE phone service, you now debited my business checking $1500 and overdrew it!!!! I demand a manager call me immediately!!! I'm calling my lawyer when he gets in office. Intuit is nothing but a criminal racketeering scheme!!!! I highly recommend a call asap. I'm so sick of making so many calls on so many issues and spending HOURS with untrained people. This is not the first time!!!!!!!!!

June 8, 2022

Have a lawyer in your legal department call me this morning. I'm going to social media platforms right now to spread the word.

June 8, 2022

Yesterday QB emails me for the first time on case # 1583144301 ref $1500 dispute from 4/8. I immediately call client and he confirms charge is valid and that's a mistake. I upload documents from the client and explanation into resolution center. I made 6 calls to phone support, 4 of which the hold as so long I had to hang up. One of them I was on phone 30 minutes and deep into reviewing the issue with a rep. I specifically said if we lose connection please call me back. Of course connection lost and no call back!!!!! I call back in and someone in accounting support tries to play middleman with merchant services rep on other line. I don't get to speak with merchant services. At 9pm the account rep said merchant services rep just hung up and I have to call in morning!!! Meantime, no response to the documents supporting the charge received. You just go ahead and debit my business checking overdrawing it!! How ridiculous. How can you even say this is close to any reputable business operation. This is not the first time!!! A bunch of IDIOTS!!!!

June 8, 2022

At this moment QB already agreed in writing they owe me the following:

 

Case #1581915995 for $928.45

Case #1581912036 $1,110.87

 

I have not received those funds.

 

And now you pull $1500.00 from my account even though client attests it's not a dispute!!

 

Have you lawyer call me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Anyone else in this community have similar experiences? Class action law suit is what I'm thinking.

 

May 19, 2023

Yes, They own me $1094. Very similar case

And all that terrible, lousy phone service yesterday was after I agreed to upgrade to VIP so I wouldn't have the phone issues I has earlier. Cancel my VIP and refund me my most recent $90 charge!!!! 

June 8, 2022

Now I just tried to call merchant services on the VIP line I pay $90 a month for and they told me I can't reach them through that phone number. I have to put in a request through website for a call back. Last month I was able to call the VIP line and reach them. WHAT A JOKE!!! 

 

I SEE A MANAGER IS REALLY RUSHING TO CALL ME ABOUT MY PROBLEMS. LMAO

June 9, 2022

Hello,

I hear your sentiments, and I'd like to join the thread to inform you that we've shared your experience with the proper team, and they'll reach out to discuss your case further.

Let me know if you need more help or continue to have difficulty connecting with our support. I'll circle back or someone from the Community is ready to assist you.

June 9, 2022

You say you hear my sentiments, but that's so incredibly insincere. If you did, you would have had a manager call me by now. I can't believe you emailed me a inaccurate dispute warning you were going to debit my bank account $1500 and after I explained it's in error, rather than waiting to investigate it before debiting the funds, you IMMEDIATELY OVERDRAFTED MY BUSIINESS ACCOUNT!!!!  AND YOUR COMPANY IS LATE IN PAYING ME $2039.32 YOU OWE ME FROM TWO OTHER CASES!!!!!!!!!! Where is my $1110.87 for case #1581915995 and $928.45 for case #1581912036??? I was told last week of May by your worthless phone reps I would have the funds in 3-5 business days!! I'm betting I'm not the only Intuit customer with these issues. That's why I've spoken with an attorney and am working on contacting the appropriate US attorney in San Jose/San Francisco area where you are based. I haven't gone off on a company like this for over 10 years at least. I've been a working professional for 40 years now and my experiences with your company rank #1 for poor service!!!! And I'm going out of my way to share with others, Trust me.

June 21, 2022

And my nightmare continues!!! It's been one month since Intuit has owed me $1,110.87 and since May 26 when I was told I would have the funds in 5-7 business days. I have no more words for the incompetence and total lack of service from your employees!! Everyone stay away from this company!!!!!! Settle up the various monies you owe me so I can close my accounts.

June 21, 2022

Hello there.

 

I hear your sentiments and experience with the QuickBooks Payments processing time.

 

The Community is an open space. That said, we're unable to discuss confidential information. This type of concern requires help from our QuickBooks Payments Support Phone Team. They can look up your account and check the status of your deposits. Since the payment from your customer is still not deposited within the given length of time, I recommend contacting them. They can review your account and investigate why you're getting some delays in receiving deposits.

I'm venting my frustration in this forum due to LACK of effort and responses from your Escalation Team. Excuse me for saying, but your responses to my posts are corporate mumbo jumbo when there is no progress and very little communication from the team who is supposed to be on my side handling these issues.

Total idiots working at support for merchant services. Management should honestly be ashamed of the service that is being provide. Transaction pending for 7 days and funds have not been deposited, there is no ACH transaction that can be pending for 7 days. ACH processes within 24 hours. Transaction was submitted on Feb 01, 2023 and approved & authorized by the receiving bank instantly but funds are still pending 7 days later. Something nefarious is going on at Quickbooks that the funds are being held for extended period of time. Spoke with 4 people at support and could not get an answer just excuses. Totally illiterate support staff.

February 10, 2023

The same happened to me this week.  I received a large payment from a customer on Tuesday, they confirmed that it has already cleared their bank, yet it is still showing "DELAYED" in Merchant Services.  So if the money has left my customer's bank and is not deposited in to my bank, where is it??  What is Quickbooks doing with the money?

Let me know if supervisor or manager help me, they wouldn't help me

I am very dissappointed with merchant service. I had initiated to reduce my rate.  I went into chat session and i got this man who knew online but not desktop.  He said because my date  of birth was not updated the back office could not reduce my rate.  When i mentioned there were no place to update my birthday and i am in desktop he stumbled and got disconnected.  I got another person on the same day.  March 27 2023, she claimed she will work with me and claim they gave me rate reduction along with not charging me $ 16 monthly fee.  I requested to retroactively give me a break, they said no.  I understand. I went online to check the charges on my merchant service on April 6th and did another chat session.  I was told the woman did not update the charges.  I was vivid.  He too asked me to update my date of birth. I told him the same thing i am in qbooks desktop, the last time the woman took my date of birth and updated and told me the rate change.  This time he apologized and claimed he can give me the rate reduction but i would be charged $16 as it was not for desktop customer.  I am a CPA and have used this software for over 25 yrs, recommend clients to use your company and am so disappointed that I felt robbed.    I went to see if the rate change happen, i don't see any change.  Now i know never to recommend this company

Same issues here. I had a charge back from June 2023, from a customer who was unhappy with their service, however this customer did receive all of the product & services they had asked for. I followed all of the original instructions from the dispute and have uploaded the document quickbooks. This has been done 2 times now! They have since closed my case with no resolution. Every time I call they give me the run around about escalating my case to reopen it.  So what quickbooks is telling me is that the documents that I already sent over can be re uploaded a 3rd time. They refuse to let me speak with a manager. They tell me the manager will tell me the same thing about escalating a ticket and will email me or call me back. I have never been patched through to a manager, a call or email. I find it funny, how quickbooks now offer charge back services for a fee. Every time I turn around they want more money from my business (over $7500 in fees alone last year). They have held over $8000 from this charge back and refuse to help get my case moving at all. This massively large company just keeps acquiring other businesses to create a monopoly & sending more jobs overseas. To customer support teams that can not help or speak English.  They have by far the worst customer service, I have ever seen! They beat out all the big cellular companies, local electric companies & even the IRS.  There needs to be a class action law suit brought against them for delaying disputes so that they laps and no money is accounted for. I have spent months trying to contact someone at quickbooks and countless hours. This is unacceptable for the amount of money they take from all of our small businesses every year.  I expect someone to get back with me to resolve this right away. I have already spoken to my lawyer about the next steps.
