Online payments eady to send but there aren't any

Take a look at your check register(s). Are there any that entries that still have "SEND" in the Check Number column?

And for the English translation of my previous post:

A few days ago I set up two online payments with Quicken as I have always done. Now when I try to exit Quicken it says that I have online payments to send and asks if I want to send them. If I click YES, it shows a list of all recent online payments, those sent and pending, The list includes all the payments including the last two. If I click NO, all is OK until next time I exit and then it happens again.

Any idea how to stop this cycle?

------------------------------------------------

I don't see your Quicken version/year/release anywhere.

Also, you didn't say when the new scheduled online payments would be due.

Assuming the online payments Quicken thinks are ready to send are the new payments you entered: what happens if you select them in Manage Bill and Income Reminders and click "Enter"?

Normally when there are payments to send, they appear in the "Bill and Income Reminders" tab below the payment account. I take it they don't appear there in your case.

Assuming there's no way that your account filters are preventing those transactions from appearing in the account; I'd suggest you try to Validate a Quicken Copy of your data to see if the online payments appear, ready to Send, in the Validated Copy. If that fails, I'd do a super-Validate on the Copy and check again.

If that doesn't help, I'd delete and re-enter the scheduled payments.

More proof that Quicken Bill Pay SUCKS the big wet hairy one. Better to simply pre-authorize your payees to debit your accounts. That way, the onus is ON THEM to do the procedure--otherwise THEY don't get paid and they have no one to blame aside from themselves. YOUR way, I.e. Quicken Bill Pay, results in hundreds of postings EVERY YEAR to this newsgroup describing various problems WITH QUICKEN BILL PAY. It's just asking for a head ache to use QUICKEN Bill PAY. PLUS Quicken BIll Pay costs $9.95 a month. MY WAY, using PAD's, costs NOTHING--the debit is done on the final day possible, too.

Do you really want to start this again?

You like your way better. We get that.

One of them has been paid and the other is to close to cancel and re-enter. We'll see what happens when both have been paid. Both are one time payments.

Of the two, the one that has been paid shows correct info. Other pending one-time payments don't show up there at all.

Correct.

If the payments are made and the problem persists, I may have to resort to that. I assume that process is online somewhere.

That's the first thing I thought to try, but it was too late.

Thanks

I just do NOT understand why anyone would PAY $9.95 EACH and EVERY month for a service that occasionally screws up when they could do PAD's like I do that never, in 18 years, have failed. ALWAYS on time, ALWAYS the proper amount. But, hey, as they say, "A fool and his/her money are soon parted".

"I just do NOT understand... "

So just admit you don't understand everything, and drop it.

Dear Sharx3335,

This is your "old" nemesis Richard.

For about a year your have been very good. The posts that you have made were thoughtful and helpful. BUT, it seems now you have once again "fallen off the wagon" and quit taking your meds. It's again time to clean up your act.

If you can't provide CONSTRUCTIVE assistance to a question, DON'T RESPOND. Seems kind of simple to me.

Regarding your opinions. They are not solicited nor are they helpful. To put it into terms that even you can understand. WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK. In another words, you have us confused with someone who gives a "shit".

Time to reform again buddy.

Love,

Richard, but I AM offering constructive solutions: stay away from Quicken Billpay--for most people this is NOT a viable solution to anything save for Intuit's cash flow requirements. It is marketing hype on their part--trying to create a false need in people and a bullshit solution when most people could solve that problem cheaper and easier, elsewhere.

You just don't get it, do you. Back to Human Nature 101...

There's a big difference between, "You're an idiot, you should do it my way" and "this is what works for me." "And it's cheaper!"

Until then, you'll be treated just as you treat others.

As Uncal Bob says and he's "right on".

Or to quote the comedian "Ron White",

"YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID!"

Time for YOU, Richard, to take some "Reading for Comprehension" courses, and, don't forget to see your MD to review your meds. Your current prescriptions Are. Not. Working.

Who pays $9.95 a month? And let's not go into the hassle of re-arguing direct-payments. I just got a bill that was $800 too much. It was very nice that I didn't discover that when my checking account was already drained of the extra funds. Now, I'd agree that the places that'll do direct credit-card payments is pretty much a win: you get the [usual] long float AND you have all the nice CC-protection laws running in your favor if/when they screw up. [and you don't have to be paranoid and check your bank account every day to ensure that some company didn't screw up and nail your acct]

I pay nothing. It's free to me. Your way has never made a error. What do you that a data set with one point proves? Are you really suggesting that your method has never screwed up on anyone, anyplace, ever?

Who's the fool?
