Can't delete online Payee Quicken 2005

Jul 20, 2005 2 Replies

I have 2 ONLINE payees that I can't delete. When I try to delete them from my Wachovia Online Banking I get an error that "the financial institution rejected the transaction because the account number is not valid." I contacted Wachovia and these 2 Payees are NOT in their records (which is obviously why I/they can't delete them from Quicken). Somehow they re-appeared when I upgraded from 2004->2005. There haven't been any payments for over 2 years to these payees.



Is there any way to manually delete these two payees? It's really just a cosmetic thing but it's just a nuisance to have them hanging around in my list.



Thanks


Try the remedy suggested in the very last post of this thread:

I've had this exact problem for about 4 years and 3 versions of Quicken. As the original poster said, the bank has no record of this payee. Nothing I've tried (including this suggestion) worked.

I don't understand why the bank should be involved at all. The payee list is clearly saved somewhere inside Quicken. Why can't Quicken just delete the damn thing?

To get around it, I added "DO NOT USE" to the payee description field so I know not to select it accidentally.
