QuickBooks Stole My $$$

I'm a small business, I've worked for 2+ years to make a major profit, hire a team, etc. I work in media consulting for nonprofits.

 

I finally got a significant contract and invoiced my US-based client from Quickbooks. My client paid 50% of the total which, was more than I've ever received in this account.

 

Quickbooks opened a fraud case, I uploaded everything--my passport, my contract with client, my bank statements--everything they asked for. Quickbooks closed the account and has not returned the funds to my client, nor refunded anything I had in the account in the first place.

 

HOW IS THIS LEGAL??

I HAVE A SMALL STAFF WITH FAMILIES WHO WERE COUNTING ON THIS MONEY AND ITS JUST GONE???

 

I am so upset, Im in tears. If I uphold my end to do good, ethical business, why cant this service? My reutation and project are now in jeopardy because as a small business, I cant afford a mistake like that.

 

WHERE IS THE MONEY? WHY WOULD YOU NOT SEND IT BACK TO THE CLIENT, EVEN IF YOU DID CLOSE MY ACCOUNT? DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE, THIS IS A HORRIFIC SITUATION I WOULD NOT WISH ON ANYONE.

 

Imagine counting on this money as a small business, not getting paid, and ruining your financial life because they don't believe this is real money or whatever. Its crazy.
