getting rid of an category association

They call themselves AAA because that puts them alphabetically near the top. Good to catch people who look up recycling in the yellow pages. Quicken thinks you are aiming at the American Automobile Asociation, I think. Best advice I would have is to rename the recyc ling company in your Quicken to "Recycling AAA". Quicken then should not have a problem remembering.

YMMV!

I also have the same company. Since I have them set up as a scheduled transaction the category is automatic. I also have an heating and AC repair company with similar name. I entered them as a memorized payment and have had not further attempts by Quicken to assign the auto category.

I did have the one time problem when AAA recycling changed its name this year.

To answer your question, either make it a memorized transaction or a scheduled transaction and it will resolve your issue.

Maybe AAArecycling would work and be closeer to the true name ?

I think the AAA start of the file name confused it, but try and see.

Have you checked the entries in the Memorized Payee list? This type of problem can be caused by incorrect information in this list. I scrub this list periodically and delete the extra entries.

Will do.

Thank you all.
