    For some "unknown" reason my Quicken software no longer recognizes my password! I have spent countless hours (approx. 8) attempting to resolve the issue with tech support and everything they have me "try" seems to make matters worse. To say that I am now thoroughly frustrated would be an understatement! I see no solution in sight!

    I had Quicken 2014 which ran fine. Had to upgrade to 2015, have had nothing but trouble ever since. Will run for a while, then I can't get into at all & won't open backup file. I've spent $100.00 having Geek Squad try to reset it, then when I do get it to work I lose 3 months of file & have to put them back in again. This has happen 3 times now. I have to keep paper copies of my files just in case it happens again. I was happy with 2014. The new one is no good and to be charge for this product is wrong. Should write to Better Business Bureau to get our money back.

    I got an offer at 64.95. Said it would easily convert my old 2010 quicken into the new program with no hassle. Said I need the new program to be able to download directly from the bank. It was a disaster. Gobbled up all my data from years on quicken 2010 and then couldn't open quicken 2015 because of aal25 which was not defined. An intuit technician in India tried to blame me and said it would cost $300 to $500 to get the quicken 2010 integrated into quicken 2015. As a result I've got neither program now.

    I find it impossible to ever get any help from Intuit. They use call centers from other countries. With people that are impossible to understand. Their products do not do what they are advertised to do. It is about time that somebody produces a financial tool that is reliable and offers tools that work the way they are advertised. Intuit and Quicken have continued to repeat these same problems for many years, without regard for the consumers concerns.

    I go WAY back with Quicken...to version 1.0 and I beta tested for them in the early 90's. I have used Quicken for prob 25 years now. I too am totally angry with this botched up aborted Quicken 2015 patch thing. I had been using Quicken 2013 and 2012, and going back. I too had the Patch of Death. The software double downloaded cleared transactions, even though I tell it not to. I had to contact customer service but I was able to resolve that issue with a chat window.

    Now tonight I find that I cannot reconcile my credit card accounts properly as the reconcile window does not recognize payments made and marked as cleared. And it's not the date thing with the payment being after the statement date. I had the password lockout etc. I'm really starting to look for an alternative software package. If a company wants to anger their customers, just mess with their finances.

    It is impossible to cover all of the problems with Quicken 2015. I have been using Quicken software since the 1990's and the current version is not equivalent to Beta software. They are at Revision 8 for crying out loud. Doesn't that tell you something about the quality of the product? If I knew how, I would revert back about 4 years when Quicken functioned as expected. Why isn't this software being evaluated by competent reviewers to assess its quality and functionality compared to its earlier versions?

    I was disappointed to learn I had to upgrade to 2015 simply to continue to download transactions from my bank. The issues are so significant and after reading the posts here, my suspicions are confirmed. This is an upgrade that is intended to force users to retain a key function that has worked well for years until now. I cannot update my bank transactions as it will not recognize the password I know is correct as I can login with no issue with same password at bank. The software also hangs if I try to use the deactivate/reactivate function to reset the account.

    After what Intuit experienced with Turbotax this year, now they have failed twice. I have already switched from Turbotax to H&R Block after 20+ years of being a loyal Intuit customer. I have worked in software for years and the only excuses for this low quality I can understand is Intuit has no competition in this space, but I will be seeking an alternative to Quicken after using it since it was introduced in the 90s. I will go back to my 2012 version and ask for my money back and lodge a complaint on this at their FB page. So disappointing but I have seen the regression coming with their software. Too much focus on profits and not enough on quality.

    I too am a 20 year user of Quicken and since I upgraded to Quicken 2015 I have had nothing but problems. While I have managed to restore a working file, I no longer trust the data in my files. The problem is that Quicken was so good for so many years that there is no serious competition out there and Intuit just doesn't care what kind of garbage they shove out to the user. We are all trapped because there is nowhere else to go. Hopefully that will change.

    I have used both products (Turbo Tax and Quicken) since the large floppy disc days and have never had one complaint. When I installed Turbo Tax early this year Home & Business, all home returns disappeared out of file on computer. Two business returns remained. Then the problem started with Quicken. Just about every entry has inaccurate categories. It is even bringing back entries that my granddaughter who died two years ago is spending money out of my account. After every update, I have to go back and change almost every entry. This is very time consuming. I really am at a loss to know where to go from here. They just had me pay $300 for their service to fix the problem. Problem is, nothing got fixed, and nothing changed. Still most entries inaccurate.

    After being forced to upgrade by Quicken (they cutoff your ability to download financial data from your bank unless you upgrade yearly) I have had nothing but problems with Quicken 2015. The upgrade was very messy. A full reconciliation of your accounts will be required as duplicate transactions will be applied. Now, after successfully converting after around 1 month of use a password has been erroneously applied to my data file. Other posts have stated after hours on the phone and with online help the best that can be expected is a historical restore and yet another exercise in reconciliation. Intuit has gone over the top with greed.. trying to be all things financial. Once they stabilize this release I am sure they will force a new upgrade to start the cycle again... FYI - I am an IT professional ...very comfortable with technology... Dump this company find an alternative. There is no end in sight with Intuit's current 'stick-it-to-the-customer' philosophy.

    I have been running Quicken 2012 Home and Business for 3 years. Recently I noted a pop up when starting the program that I could get the 2015 version for 40% off. So, I paid for it and downloaded it from Intuit. It would not install. I spent 8 hours yesterday doing clean uninstalls, reinstalls, uninstalling & reinstalling the Microsoft.NET Framework (as discussed on the Intuit bulletin boards), and spent 3 of those hours with an Intuit service rep named ** going step by painful step through various system tweaks, uninstalls, reinstalls, .NET updates, etc. NOTHING WORKED.

    Her last instructions to me involved a reboot to my system (which lost the chat feed, of course -- but I printed it off and she also graciously emailed to me future instructions to try). I guess this was her way of getting rid of me. Anyway, nothing worked. Thankfully, I had old data backed up on an external drive. I redownloaded the 2012 version (after spending 2 hours again early this am reinstalling all the .NET Framework files and Updates), and THANKFULLY, the 2012 version installed cleanly. What is really interesting is that it pulled in all of my financial data from who-knows-where, as I DID NOT EVEN HAVE THE HARD DRIVE BACKUP CONNECTED TO MY SYSTEM!!!!! Do not waste your time with the 2015 version. I am calling AMEX to withdraw the charge on my credit card.

    I did a one step update of my Quicken data. I received a notice of a correction to a stock split for PFE stock that I no longer own. I already had a 6/24/2013 record of a 1 for 1 stock split. It wanted to correct this to 1:1.706977 split. There hasn't been a PFE stock split since July 1, 1999. So even the split record I had was bogus, but it was harmless. Accidentally accepting this "correction" caused my 0 shares of stock to go negative and I lost 10s of thousands of dollars. Fortunately I have backups every night. I did several restores before I got a successful one step update that didn't have other failures besides this one.

    I have been using Quicken for decades. I have been using Quicken Premier 2015 up through release 5 with no problems. Release 6 was an utter disaster, which Quicken eventually withdrew. I deleted and reloaded the Quicken software to get back to release 5. I have been refusing release 7, until Quicken decided to update me to release 7 without asking.

    Today, I refused release 8, but had this bogus split problem. Release 7 was supposed to fix the disaster of release 6. Release 8 was supposed to fix the problems Release 7 caused, which were minor compared to what Release 6 did. It is scary to have all my financial records for decades being kept by a program with such demonstrable failures. The trouble is that I can't find an alternative that is better.

    It's unfortunate that Quicken forces you to update to their latest version by disallowing continued access to banks via Web access. It's not the banks that discontinue the service, it's quicken. It's horrible and poor business practice that Quicken should do such a thing. I don't mind updating once in-a-while, however, forcing me to update when I'm not ready should be criminal. I'm now looking at other financial software, such as Microsoft Money so that I'm not placed into such a position again.

    Quicken 2015 sent out a patch that literally locked people out of their Quicken data. The only resort is to use a backup file and shut down the mobile features until a new patch is available. Horrible customer service, horrible software. This made me lose not only hours of time to re-categorize transactions I no longer have receipts for, but also the data behind it. This also made me lose money as late fees were incurred as I relied on the software to send payment reminders. How does a software company send out a patch that literally takes down customers files? Negligence.

I also noticed that balances were incorrect and/or missing. Reinstalling program - this not work. I was able again to get into file from an old backup, but I had to add many transactions manually and double check each and every account. So far I have spent about 15 hours on this and I'm not done.

    2015 Quicken Home & Business - I have used previous versions of this product for about 10 years with little difficulty. I upgraded to the 2015 version early in the year. In the last 24 hours a version update was pushed out to me which I downloaded. This download has disabled by password and I cannot now access my software. All of my family's finances are now locked up. I went through the online help which included installing a file I backed up to two days ago; which, opened just fine with the usual password. The simple process of dragging that file into the software has disabled the password, yet again. I then tried using the password removal tool. It is still trying to upload my files after five hours. With all of these efforts to no avail I then called the helpline and after waiting for near an hour for someone to answer I was finally picked up. Mr. ** apologized incessantly and then instructed me to do all of the things I already exhausted.

    When I pointed this out to him he apologized again and said that this is a known problem and that the software engineers are working on a fix but, with no time for completion of the fix. When I pointed out that this puts my family finances out of business while they figure it out, he apologized again and we started through the heavily scripted response set again. I asked for a supervisor and got Ms. ** who read through the same script almost verbatim.

    I do not understand under what premise Intuit can expect to get away with this. Does anyone have any suggestions about a law firm who handles these sorts of service breaches? The damages I will suffer in having an accounting firm recreate my files and doing this manually will add up pretty quickly. The casual indifference to what this does to one's finances is palpable. Given this experience I would think consumers are much better off buying and installing something like Peachtree to avoid this problem. Very unprofessional on Intuit's part.

    I purchased an upgrade from Intuit online for Quicken Deluxe 2012 to Quicken Deluxe 2015 for $37. No big deal. When I loaded it, the conversion corrupted the data, requiring multiple restores from back-ups. The Bank online balances were all wrong. Numerous crashes occurred. In mid-March the Mondo release from Intuit (Intuit's name) was released. Still it continued to fail.

    After hours on the phone over two sessions I finally got the product running, except the online bill payment function was gone. No notice, no warning -- only an option on the account set up for "Quicken Online Bill Payment." This leads you to $9.95 a month payment for have the same functionality you had in Quicken 2012 for free.

    Bottom line is, the $37 product now cost you $37 + $360 (36 months of usage) or $395.19. I found this out after spending 1.5 hours on the Quicken chat line. After initially asking them directly if "online bill payment" was include in the product or a charged feature, they obfuscated for an hour and a half and finally said to call my bank and use the bank's service because Inituit's Bill Pay service was not free anymore but costs $9.95 per month.

    Quicken 2012 can no longer receive file imports from banks. I believe that this is a money grab on the part of Intuit. They disabled their software remotely so that they could make their customers update the software and pay more when really it would have worked just as well as is. I have some software for other uses that is more than ten years old and working just fine. I believe this is part of the movement for companies to get their customers on annual or monthly PAYMENTS instead of just buying a product and using it til it's just plain outdated.

    It's like the difference between leasing a car (the worst possible deal) and buying a new or used car (best possible deal). Imagine if you bought a new car, and then not only does the value drop, but three years out, the company informs you that the engine will no longer accept any oil changes. I mean, you can still PUSH the car around for transport, you just can't use the engine! Is that so wrong?

    Intuit is moving to only offering leasing. This is their latest step in that direction. Except they don't give you the option of using the software functionality AS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. Intuit altered the deal and disabled their software after the fact instead of allowing it to become obsolete over time. I'm done. They used to be a cool company. Now they think they're TOO cool.

    I have been receiving emails from Quicken that my bank connectivity will be terminated shortly if I do not upgrade to the 2015 release. I see no reason to pay for annual upgrades to Quicken. I have been a Quicken user for over 20 years and sadly its quality has sunk to the point that I do not want to use it any longer. To top it off, I just tried to download my bank transactions and I get a message that says "Services not available, try again later" So, I tried again the next day and got the same message. So, I guess Quicken has cut me off from accessing my bank transactions. I think this is really bad business and for sure, my wife and I will no longer have any use for Quicken.

    I grew up with paper ledgers. Accounting 101 is not that hard. Having features like downloading stock prices and downloading bank transactions are just so wonderful. Problem is I wish Quicken did this without driving me nuts. I was force into update. Each time I update I just about cry. The program just gets worse with each version. Slower, less user friendly, more bloat that nobody wants or needs. Just give me the basics but make damn sure they work.

    I lost my password on the update (problem one). I had to use my quicken password. That was after 3 attempts to download the program to run stable. Then I got my first download, I was excited. Got some pop up from Quicken trying to sell me TurboTax. They blamed one of my banks stating it was a "special message". No way to "x" out as it was grey. Ctr-Alt-Del was only way around. Tried "online chat" to get around this. Tech need another tech buddy to form a synapse to generate a thought. I finally sent him screenshots of my issue then he still could not grasp my issue. Problem was I could not get to one-step-update at all. I finally gave up and deleted then did a restore back to 2012 version as I look for viable alternative.

    I don't want to give Intuit any credit but every other company makes something even worse. I just wish someone could make something secure and come with no obvious bugs. I suppose it could be Microsoft with 35 different licensing options so we could "tile" the bathroom. Worse the government could offer a NSA specially edition and we could save money by not needing to even fill out your 1040.

    Basically I just want to be able to use the password of my own and be able to change so that nobody by myself knows it, be able to update prices and transaction without seeing a bleeping commercial. I don't want guides, recommendations, I really really don't want any of my information in the cloud or on my phone. I don't need to monitor stock prices hourly. I just need to be able to download transactions so that I can keep track of my basis. I can do this manually and I did it for years that way but life is too short. Just give me a program the does the basics well.

    Have used a Quicken happily for 20 years for home and business. Upgrade to Quicken 2015 seemed ok - until it upgraded for something 2 days ago. Now it demands a non-existent password for my data file. After hours working with chat, they had a senior tech try to "recover and remove the password" - except now they tell me my whole data file is unrecoverable, and the backups haven't worked or Quicken literally erased them in my computer because they're not there. I run VERY complex finances with 4 businesses. This is a disaster and I still have no fix. Can't believe there is NO live tech support.

    I have spent well over 12 hours, maybe more, trying to get Quicken 2015 to work. I upgraded from 2013, but this is definitely a downgrade. Quicken 2015 freezes when I try to update from my bank. On the rare occasions it "works" (i.e., after I had uninstalled and re-installed, it worked once). It misses transactions. The update quotes on the portfolio view also freezes. Ditto the validate routine. I spent over an hour on "Chat" which was totally useless. The Mondo ungrade does not work. Uninstalling and re-installing according to their directions does not make Quicken 2015 work. I uninstalled and tried going back to Quicken 2013. Of course it would not read the new QDF file. So I re-entered data that I had put in.

    Then this morning, I decided to try again with Quicken 2015 but not use the updating feature. Supposedly I have a telephone appointment next Tuesday (one full week after my useless Chat). Chat even wanted to suggest a work-around. I don't want a work around. I want a working program. Chat refused to let me speak to a supervisor. Quicken does not list a phone number. I also discovered that Quicken 2013 did not transfer cost bases when I moved securities from one account to another. So now, in preparing taxes, I just spent two hours manually entering data that I had specified should be moved by clicking "specify lots." It is tax time and not the time to spend endless hours on a non-working program.

    I agree, there should be a class action suit though I can't see how money can compensate the time I have spent and will spend again when/if I decide to revert to Quicken 2013. BTW, Quicken 2013 is a terrible program also. It does download transactions (or at least it did) but it could not accurately handle linked accounts. On that score a session with Quicken chat left me worse off than I was before Chat.

    Two examples, both in the last month. First and most egregious, they simply decided that I would no longer be able to use Quicken 2012 to handle my banking transactions. No discussion; no rationale, just "boom" - your software is now junk. To handle my banking, I will be required to fork over the "reduced" price of $59.99 for Quicken 2015. This is unprecedented. I am still using Office 2007 with no problems. And even if Microsoft (or any other vendor) stops supporting a product, it doesn't just cut you off so the software is useless. In my mind, this is simple robbery - just a desperate grab for consumers' cash.

    Second issue speaks to their lack of concern about the consumer. I have used Quicken for years. Suddenly last month it stopped downloading transactions. I tried every fix available on their website to no avail. Finally I called my bank (luckily I have a private banker) and they found out that Quicken just stopped accepting capital letters in passwords. Just like that - no discussion, no warning, just (once again) "boom". Not only is this a first, it's also crazy. By limiting passwords to lower case, they are reducing the complexity of potential passwords, making it easier to hack. And they seemed to do this on a whim, for no apparent reason. Before I retired I ran an MIS (computer) department for a very large company. If my MIS group had done this, without discussion or explanation, heads would roll.

The only file extension they will accept is .qfx, which is a proprietary file extension that they charge banks a fee to use.

    My bank does not support this file extension because Intuit overcharges for these fees and keeps raising the price. Previous versions of the Quicken software supported the universal file extension. Intuit refuses to supply me a converter tool or a software patch to use the standard extension. My bank also offers a .csv file extension download. Intuit will only let you use that for security prices.

    I am running the current release of Quicken Premiere 2015 (R3) on a Windows 7-64 bit Professional system and still have repeated problems. I have used Quicken for at least 15 years and upgraded from the 2012 version. If you have multiple accounts from different financial institutions and of different types, expect the conversion will cost you time in working around flaws in the software that somehow did not get noticed in this review. I have encountered bugs involving brokerage, bank, and credit card accounts. These have occurred with at least four different financial institutions.

    In the most major bug, I set up my Everbank accounts for automated transaction download (previously only one of them was on the manual web-connect download). The system renamed one of my Everbank accounts and deleted another. Unfortunately I found out about the deletion after making a bunch of manual entries to update another account. Make sure you back up your file before changing your online downloads!

    A second pattern is that Quicken's online download will miss transactions for no reason. There is a workaround for this -- you can reset the "starting date" for the account if this persists; however if you don't notice this problem in time you may have to manually track down and update the transactions. Also having to hunt down and execute a workaround is unacceptable. This has happened involving both a brokerage account and a bank with savings and checking accounts.

    With yet a fourth institution, it stopped downloading my credit card transactions and instead had an error message. Trying to "reset" the online setup using Quicken's instructions provided by the error handling pop-ups caused Quicken to freeze until I killed it with Task Manager. I tried the "reset" multiple times; each time Quicken froze and had to be killed. Finally, I was able to restore the automated download by deactivating and reactivating the online download for the account. This will cause both already cleared and reconciled as well as new positions to be downloaded. Get ready for more manual cleanup work.

    After losing data from an unexpected hard disk failure, just a few days before an IRS Audit, I had hoped to recompile my records using Quicken 2915 Home and Business. The program has great promise, and when coupled with add on file translation products from Moneythumb, I thought it would be a good platform to recover my transactions for the tax period under review.

    However, the automatic import from .qfx files downloaded from my bank and credit card company, causes Quicken 2005 Home and Business to grind to a virtual stop, for 1200 transactions to require 16 hours or more seems like a design flaw. Coupled with six bank accounts and five credit card accounts plus paypal, a dozen attempts along with 20 hour days for two weeks failed to get me what I wanted: usable data.

    The biggest strengths with the program contribute to it's biggest weakness, specifically automatic account transfer matching, the memorized payee transaction functions, and automatic renaming features, usually rendered the data unrecognizable after six to ten hours of working with it. This requires one to restore from data from backup, however, one never really knows what accounts, statement months and transactions have been properly imported and reconciled from the last backup, and there is no way to avoid hundreds of check entries except manually each time one must restore data.

    Bottom line: great idea, but until the software bugs are worked out of this program, one is just losing time because the end product will be unrecognizable within 8 hours of working with data, resulting in the decision to begin with a clean slate and import again...

When I did have a problem I always was able to contact them and receive assistance. That's no longer the case. This year I updated Quicken 2015 online as I have usually done in the past and everything went fine until I went to open the program. I entered the usual user and password information, plus they required an answer to a security question. I thought this was a bit strange because I had never been required to do this before. Obviously there was no correct answer to this question, therefore I was unable to open the program. I tried to find some help but anytime I called a number, I was referred to their website to solve this problem.

    There were no solutions to the problem I had. I then was referred to another number which happened to be an offshore (India) location. Yes, they could help me but I was required to purchase a service contract for a term of 1, 2 or 3 years for a ridiculous price. I was infuriated, I just spent $120 to download the the update, now they wanted more money to fix my problem. Quicken has now changed their service facilities off shore. So, if you now require technical service you must purchase this service contract. A 1 yr contract costs $200.00.

    Now I realize why they asked for an answer to a security question - I couldn't provide it because I never had one. After repeated attempts to open the program, they froze my existing program, forcing me to go to this offshore service facility in India. I had no choice if I wanted to keep my existing program. They used this security question trick because there was no answer, which, resulted in denying me to access to my updated program. This was a sneaky and underhanded way to do business.

    I purchased and was sent an email in a very timely manner. I downloaded to my desktop very quickly. After that, nothing worked. I was told my computer was not compatible (I checked and it was). I tried to call, but all contact is through chat. I chatted, lost connection, regained connection, time in response was slow. I was told it was my computer. I spent all morning and used various avenues with no results to the problem. Quicken chat folks were sorry I could not get the product downloaded. I have requested a refund. Chatperson Rona said it would be 7-10 days. Why can it be bought so fast, yet refunded so slowly? I am very dissatisfied that I lost my whole morning as well as 70 bucks (until 7-10 days).

    I recently contacted Intuit with respect to issues I am having with their Home and Business product. The primary issue is with respect to the ability, or should I say the inability to download transactions from a financial institution. I spent over an hour with someone on the other end of a chat window trying to resolve this issue. I would have preferred to talk with someone but as the chat person stated, "we don't offer Phone Support anymore."

    My first issue is related to the fact that I cannot download transaction from one of my financial institutions, I receive a generic CC-503 error, which Intuit states in their KB article as an incorrect ID or password. In fact, the ID and password that is entered is correct, both work if I log into the website from a browser (both the IE-based browser within Quicken and externally through another browser). This clearly proves that the ID and password is correct. The chat engineer stated that Quicken "has trouble handling special characters in passwords." This means that if your financial institution requires a special character in your password (like mine) then you probably won't be able to automatically download transactions into Quicken. First, the chat engineer blamed this issue on the financial institution, then he stated that this is a "restriction of the software" and that if I use the software in the way it was intended I would not have this issue. Finally he stated that a special character just adds the Security Level of the Password consistency."

    Isn't that the point of adding the special character? Would you want to support the highest level of password security you could? Why is Intuit writing software that is limiting security? And if more and more financial institutions are supporting special characters, and some requiring them, then why would Intuit write code that limits your ability to increase your security?

    Intuit advertises that you can download transactions from financial institutions, and then they tell you that they don't support the latest security requirements and they have placed limitations in their software to prevent people from being able to enhance their security posture. Is this really the type of company we should be supporting?

    When trying to delete a transfer between two retirement accounts, the error message is: "The transaction was created as a transfer to an investment transaction. In order to change it, you must go to the source transaction by using 'Go to matching transfer' from the Edit button." I am unable to edit or delete the transaction from either the account the funds were transferred from, or the account the funds were transferred to. It is an endless loop that can't be resolved. I contacted Quicken by phone and by chat room and no one had a solution other than it will be resolved in the next 2015 version.

    I see that other user have reported this problem to the Quicken Community from it's initial release and rather than resolve it they chose to simply "This post has been closed and is not open for comments or answers". I have updated the product and downloaded all the latest patches and tried to follow suggestions that other community members have made, but the erroneous entry can neither be modified or deleted. How can a company be allowed to continue to market a defective product year after year and claim the solution is to purchase the latest product?

    DO NOT UPDATE QUICKEN to 2015 Version!!!! I have had Quicken since it first came out on a floppy disc and had not had a problem until I downloaded the Quicken 2015 CD to my computer. I had moved 5 years ago and the email associated with the upgrade captured my old email address. After spending four hours (total) online on two different evenings with two different Customer Service Representatives, my old address **.com was still not changing to **.com. Therefore I had no access to my old account and had to delete the new account and delete the 2015 download and go back to the 2014 version. I thought that would work but somehow the 2014 version has the same problem. Even tried to delete both files and install the 2015 version again using a week old back up for the external hard drive and still have the same problem. I was told by the last representative that she would call me back and set up a time to fix the problem. Time passed and I had not received the promised call back so I reverted to placing my 2014 version on an old Desktop from the basement and that trial ended up also with the old email.

    My wife and I bought Quicken to help us manage two separate checking and savings accounts and retirement and investment accounts. We are beyond disappointed. After two days of trying to get our accounts to just reflect an accurate balance after install, we are ready to return the software with extreme prejudice. After installing, neither account has a balance that's even close to our actual balance. My checking shows a balance that's a thousand dollars higher than it should be and my wife's is $150 in the negative. In the ledger, it shows some transactions twice, and it changed which accounts have certain bills coming out to the opposite account. I would rather start from a known balance than have this faulty program jumble two accounts together like pickup sticks. I suspect that the government uses Quicken and they may be single-handedly responsible for the financial crisis. Then there is the support... There is none. How is making a website where other customers who are having problems post their issue to be answered by other unpaid users, considered support? While technology may have progressed beyond measure, this takes customer service back to the dark ages. It's akin to Marie Antoinette offering the peasants some cake.

    I am going to attempt to resolve this with my appointment with a support tech. But if that doesn't work, I want my money back. I don't have the time to deal with this. And you know what? You don't want me to be distracted by faulty software because I need to concentrate on repairing and maintaining the aircraft we fly on. I sincerely hope they make a software patch that fixes all of this. I just want it to work a little. I just want accurate numbers. I don't care about the graphs.

    Recently I installed Quicken 2015 onto over 10 years of banking data. The data was within earlier versions of Quicken. As I attempted to download my current banking statement, the program wouldn't let me get past an online password vault for an account that I had closed 6 years earlier. There was no password for that account but the program wouldn't let me change the password or delete the password requirement. I searched in vain for some number to call and eventually had to do an on-line chat. After 2 hours of "I am certain I can help you..." and "I hope you are having a splendid evening..." I realized that the person on the other computer had no freaking idea about what was even the problem.

    I called back a few days later armed with prior Quicken support logs documenting that my problem is not unique. After another 2 hours tonight, I came to the realization that the script that these customer service reps are reading from is far from helpful or complete. I asked for a call back from someone not located in the Philippines, and was given a date 5 days away. 5 days!!!

    Quicken used to be a wonderful program. I have used it for many years, 15 or more, and used to recommend it to everyone. Never again. Everything was good until I updated it to the 2013 version and then the 2014 which was worse. They pressure you to update saying they will not "support" the earlier versions but this is only a ploy to sell you a new version. If there are no issues with your use of the program, fine. But woe to you if there are any problems. Their support is horrible...the most maddening, frustrating process imaginable. First, there is no ability to talk to a live person, no phone number. The best you can do is get chat support which is very difficult to connect to, if you can connect at all. The only other option is asking other users for help who might have had a similar issue. What kind of support is that? Quicken does not stand behind its program; it is not trying to resolve the myriad of problems people are having and it is apparently getting worse with each new version. Just read the hundreds of complaints. Warning: Use Quicken at your peril...you may be watching years of financial data disappear.

    Quicken sadly has continued to decay and Quicken 2015 for Windows is no exception. It is such an amalgamation of old code and new code it needs to totally rewritten from the ground up. I have used it since 2000 and each year it seems to add pointless features that make it "look good" with little thought behind the consequences. It cannot even add properly. In a budget for 2015, the expenses are added wrong (QuickenExp2015) vs the same 12 total expenses in Excel (ExcelExp2015). All it takes is a calculator to confirm the Excel total is correct. I tried Quicken Chat to resolve the problem. The employee that I chatted with tried to obfuscate the issue by trying to blame in on bad input. Bad input? I politely explained that it did not matter what the input was, we were dealing with TOTALS and it was those TOTALS that I put into Excel.

    The employee next tried to blame it on bad actual data (transactions). I again politely pointed out that this was a budget for 2015, there were no transactions. The employee then said I needed to validate my data. I was ready for this and sent the file that showed my data file was fine. Then the employee wanted me to throw out my budget and start with a new one and I again politely stated that I was not about to do that has it would entail the reentry of over 2,500 figures and all I wanted to know was why Quicken could not add properly.

    I was then told "Fred, resolving your issue is our utmost concern and we want your experience in contacting us be delightful. Based from issue that you raise, it much better if you will be assisted by one of our technical expert that can help you through phone." I gave the employee my phone number and time zone. After 5 minutes, the employee said that they could call me 3 days later at 10PM. I replied that it was unacceptable to have to wait for 3 days and that I needed someone to call the next day between 9AM and 5PM. The employee then replied that the next available time was now 4 days (on a Saturday) at 4:30PM. I ended the chat there after telling the employee that having to wait 4 days to talk to someone was so unacceptable. I could not come up with a way of saying how unacceptable it was.

    Obviously, my issue was not of their utmost concern and contacting them was anything but delightful. The budget does not work properly, you cannot use the rollover feature on parent categories as stated in the Help file that you can. There is erroneous data displayed on graphs showing that you are going to have X amount of dollars in SAVINGS by the end of the year when in fact X is in reality the remaining budget you have left to spend for the year. So if you ran out and made a major purchase based on what Quicken was telling you that you were saving, you would end up with no money to pay for you everyday expenses for the rest of the year.

    Amounts on bar graphs do not match with displayed totals and there is so much more. Intuits only real support for Quicken is provided by a bunch of volunteers on the Live Community and they are more overwhelmed than ever. Any data provided by Quicken needs to be checked with another source (like I did with Excel) to verify the data and if you have to do that why use Quicken? I have 14 years of data with it so I am stuck at the moment but if you are just starting look elsewhere for something that works because at this point Quicken is very broken and there just does not seem to be any interest from Intuit to get it fixed.

The result is genuinely stupid and of no use for anyone who needs to do more than download their bank statement to Quicken. And once you download it, what is the point?

She answered that it was not their policy to disclose that information. Then we were disconnected.

    I later phoned the "office of the president" and was told that 97% of Quicken users voted to ask Intuit to discontinue phone support and replace it with online chat. The FACT that customers can no longer receive human tech support to assure a problem is solved more quickly is a choice I was told was made by Intuit because 97% of their customers said they no longer wanted telephone tech support.

I was unable to recall my "special question" answer and ended up locked out. This too is not uncommon in our account saturated world.

I spoke to Rahul and a supervisor named Nick and got no satisfaction. I have my credit card bill showing when it was charged. Any help or support you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

    Faced with losing the ability to download transactions in 2015 I upgraded Premier 2012 to Premier 2014. From the outset this "upgrade" has been a disaster. First, the software would not install without an extreme work around for Windows 7. After finally installing the update I started getting download error messages -- Quicken Chat Support had me deactivate and reactivate all 20 of my accounts. This caused duplicate transactions and countless errors in reconciling already reconciled accounts. Finally -- last three days -- NO transactions have been downloaded from any of my financial institutions. I spent three hours with Chat Support until the support person gave up and said my issue would be escalated... It has not been escalated and I have had ZERO assistance from Intuit. Program is now useless with over 10 years of data hanging in the balance.

After you purchase you will find out that you must buy two separate versions: One for USA banking and a second (Canadian version) for Canadian processing. The two versions do not interact.

    I have never taken to a public forum before to express my disgust at a company, so that's how bad I found this experience. Firstly, I had no idea when I first purchased Intuit's Quicken product, that customer service was a 'paid for' add-on. Really? In this day and age? On top of that, to get ONE question answered by an 'expert' cost me $10. Oh, and the other thing to note before you consider paying this fee, their phone lines only work during business hours Monday to Friday, and if you want any 'live' support outside that, you have to use their live chat feature which sends you overseas.

    Let me explain how THAT experience works. Firstly, know that I have written everything within this complaint so far while waiting for my expert to respond to my last answer in the email chain. So to start with, you have to complete a quick form which asks you to summarize your issue. You then submit this question and get put into a queue waiting for live chat support. Once someone does get to you, they generally ask you to repeat everything you put into the form.

    They write in short sentences and take 60-180 seconds between sentences. It was clear from my expert's response that he was dealing with multiple questions simultaneously because his response time was shocking. This was further clear because he kept forgetting what my issue was and asked me to continually clarify. When he then wrote back to summarize the (simple) issue, he got it wrong 3 times running when it had been incredibly clearly laid out. When I confronted him and told him I had just paid $10 and expected attentive one on one service, he denied he was working with someone else and blamed it on 'network' delays.

    He then wanted one screen shot which he took forever to 'review' (of course he wasn't helping other people simultaneously), which after waiting 5 minutes he told me was in the wrong format. The correct file format was then sent which took over 6 minutes to review. After that he wrongly summarized the issue again. I expressed my immense frustration and disappointment in the service at this point, but of course thanks to the way Intuit have structured their support. If I want to actually talk to someone, I would have to wait 48 hours until Monday morning and pay another $10! So what choice did I have but to continue?

    Please note, at this point, I have been on live chat for over 1 hour. Continued 3-4 minute delays between responses are attempted to be filled with "Ok" or "Thank You" from their end, which generally stand alone as their response for around 3-4 minutes at a time while they continue serving other customers. 1 hour 20 minutes into the 'chat' and he has just come back to me with a new idea for how to resolve it. Unfortunately for him, if he had been paying one iota of attention he would see that I told him just 4 entries ago that I had proactively been trying that and it hadn't worked. In order to allow him time to continue working with his other customers, he insisted I try it again. Of course it didn't work.

    I am now nearly 2 hours in. They have tried to screen share with me (unsuccessfully), transferred me to another rep (during which time they lost me in the queue again for 5 minutes), then initiated another screen share (also unsuccessfully). I have given up, and will pay another $10 on Monday to actually talk to someone who I know will be giving me 1:1 attention.

    I have been using Quicken since 04/05; I moved from MS Money. My wife received a message saying Q2007 will not be supported since a new release was out. "Supported" in common sense means no future updates, right? No, "supported" means your paid software will no longer be able to import downloaded bank statements. You have to buy Quicken 2013 or whatever release it is in order to continue with bank DL. There are two options in Quicken to import DL files: Web Connect or Direct Connect. DC is if you want to give Quicken your username and password. It will DL and update for you. With WC, you have to DL the updates and then Quicken "connects" to the files. Both of these options will not work if you do not pay $40 for the current upgrade. In three years, the price will be $70 or more.

    Two weeks ago, I discovered that all my Quicken account balances were inaccurate. I suspected an infection so I called my anti-virus protection company, AVG. After running a scan, they said the problem is with Quicken, and if I would call Quicken that Quicken likely would have a fix. In the past two weeks, I have spent over 20 hours working with Quicken tech support by way of "chat" sessions. What a waste of my time!

    Your Reston Prime Tech keeps sending me emails wanting to close the case (Ticket ID: **). Based on my experience with this issue, even though your tech people keep saying the problem is resolved (only to discover later the problem is not resolved), I will not sign-off on this case indicating the issue has been resolved. It may very likely re-emerge as happened previously. I do not trust your support people. It would be extremely helpful if Quicken would move this division to the continental United States in order to improve spoken communication between tech support and your customers.

    I purchased Quicken 2012 for my business from Costco and have paid for several upgrades. This program is the most useless product I have ever owned. One of the "fixes" was that we had to render payments to vendors and then the system changed it to a payment. However, if you forgot to do this (and why would you enter your payment as a negative?), then your payment was entered as a credit. This is one example of how moronic this program is. This and many other errors in the program have required that I hire an accountant as I am unable to run my business with the current issues with the program. The cost to fix is $800.

    I recently purchased QuickBooks Premiere from Costco and needed to migrate Quicken. We spent 30 minutes on the phone with QuickBooks. After many attempts, the response was you have to call Quicken to find out what is wrong. Forty-five minutes in wait and then the first response from the customer service was, "Your software is fine." Over an hour later, we determined it was corrupt. The cost for my accountant to simply migrate the file is $150. I could not be any more displeased with a product than I am with Quicken.

    I have been a loyal customer of Intuit since early 2007. I have upgraded my version of Quicken Deluxe for $60 to $70 per year. I upgraded to 2013 Deluxe on 10/10/2012 with the promise of a $10 saving. I updated my accounts on almost daily basis. I started to notice that transactions were missing. I would log in to the financial institution's website to download the missing transactions. Funny thing is in the 2012 version, they only released two updates. In 2013 version, they have released two patches in two weeks. When I would manually download the transactions, I would get a box asking me to set up a new connection. The options are to link it to an account where one account was deleted three years ago or an account that I had closed and deactivated on 5/24/2010.

    I have been on the phone/chat session for the last three days. I have got nothing but the runaround. Every time you fill out the little boxes and get an 800#, you get an agent that wants to start at step number 1 with opening a new file, deactivate/reactivate the account, restore to an old backup, which each time you call gets to an older and older date. I was on the phone yesterday with a manager called KD or better known as Kuldeep. We basically reverted from 2013 to 2012 version. I had to go through 814 individual transactions line by line and match them on the register but also back to the bank. My account went from $324.22 out of balance to over $3,500 out of balance. That is just on one account. My money market got a big $0.75 interest. That caused a $1,000 out of balance.

    In late November 2011, my version of Quicken Home & Business 2008 advised me that it no longer supported connecting to my banks for the download of banking data. The warning box said I had until May 2011 to upgrade as the version was no longer supported.

    While infuriated to have my data hijacked by a "trusted" program I have used for decades, I calmly called their support number. After a considerable wait, I was connected to an agent in "a far-off land" whose command of English was questionable. She looked up my file and said I was notified over a year ago at a defunct email address. I had not used that address for over 6 years, but she insisted that it was the only one they had on file. When I said that their inability to track client information was not my problem and all I want is to have my software functionality restored, all I got were arguments and static. After disconnecting, I explored other support options offered on their website only to find a web of links that led nowhere, except to where I have to buy the newest version of the software at full price. I tried other telephone numbers and that menu structure led back to the same place - the "far-off land" operators.

    After calming down, I found through much effort a name of a real person in Intuit corp. (in sales department, I believe) and sent a complaint to him. Much to my surprise, I got a rapid reply from him with the promise of finding the right person to address the matter. Okay, it sounds like they want to keep my business - let's see how this plays out. Next day I got an email from a woman in client relations who, despite a somewhat condescending tone, seems to want the same outcome - buy the new version of the software with little incentive. She did check into their records and acknowledged their error but did nothing to fix the immediate problem of non-functional software.

    After much back-and-forth, I finally get them to offer an incentive on a packaged solution - but nothing to alleviate the current problem of crippled software. The offer was for a bundle of their accounting and tax software to be released in January 2012. I asked if I could get a downloaded copy of the accounting tool, but I got no answer. I placed an order on the website in case they changed their minds. The site states that my credit card will not be charged until the software ships. So, it sounded like a no-lose situation for me until I looked at my credit card charges online - a charge from Intuit for the package withdrawn on Dec. 7.

    I am at a loss as to how to deal with this company. They don't even honor their own policies. I am now looking at alternative finance programs to replace Quicken.

We've re-filed with them 2 times prior. I'll admit I had no issues until this most recent refute rate. We got 5.25%. Other rates with other companies are around 4.25%. The only difference was no additional closing costs. I wish I had heard the ad from East-West Mortgage. 4.25% with only a $500 fee. I’m sure Quicken will continue to skim about 1% when they sell the mortgage.

    I have been using Quicken for over ten years. Each year, I update to the current version. In 2010, I began using their invoice functionality which appeared a great tool. I created an invoice that I send to my clients, with a line item breakdown of all charges. I use the Quicken categories to identify line items, since both invoices and check registers use the same table. From my transaction reports, I generate the information to pass on to my accountant for income tax purposes. I did not notice until I was gathering information for the Tax Returns, that the categories from the invoices were not carried over to the check register. Rather, there was a flag (Customer Invoice) with none of the split line items for cost breakdown.

    I spent three days working with Quicken online technical support and finally an actual voice. The actual voice, after several hours of work on the problem, determined that there was no design flaw or bug in the software. The Quicken invoice functionality was designed to simply indicate that there were line items somewhere. The flag does not link to the particular invoice, nor does it supply the invoice number. It is necessary to generate hard copies of all invoices and manually locate the associated account from the bank. This becomes particularly interesting if your bank deposit included batches of transactions that make up or sum total of invoices, checks, etc.

    The damage is a year of invoices with multiple line items and associated costs are associated with most of the invoices. The fix is to access each invoice and manually enter each item in Quicken, then determine which deposit was affected and do a split of the register line item and update the splits, then locate the actual invoice and remove it in order to eliminate duplicates. This could actually affect my income reporting, as it could increase in by a factor of, at least, 70%. Alternatively, I turned the invoices over to my accountant and have them go over each invoice and determine how to calculate a set of accurate numbers for reporting. This has added several thousand dollars to my tax preparation fees for this cycle.

    I was contacted by Quicken Loans one day after indicating my interest in refinancing my house on MortgageLoan.com. Robert Peeples with Quicken Loans gave me a hard sale, but I told him his loan service fee was too high ($6,800 on a $130,000 refinance loan) and my local bank could offer almost the same rate. He called back the next day and said he could offer me an interest rate of 4.75% on a 30 year-fixed loan. I was surprised, because no one else was offering that rate. I told him to go ahead and lock in on that rate. He would charge my credit card $500 for the appraisal fee but I was assured that I would get that back at closing. The appraiser arrived 5 days later and told me after just a few minutes that I was wasting his and my time. Although our house is only 2 years old it is 90-95% complete. The two upstairs rooms are unfinished and we have been installing tile, light fixtures, and trim molding. The appraiser left within 10 minutes of being at our house. At no time did Robert Peeples ask if our house was 100% complete condition. I had no idea it would affect their ability to refinance our loan. Quicken Loans representatives should ask that question. It would have saved me a lot of time and money. I called Mr. Peeples back and asked for the fee to be refunded. He said he would refund all but $75 of it in 7 days. According to him, the $75 is what the appraiser billed them for the trip fee. Compared to a lot of other complaints I have read I guess I should be happy my experience with Quicken Loans will only cost me $75. Mr. Peeples should have asked if the house was in 100% complete condition. It would have saved us both a lot of trouble. Why do I have to pay for his failure? I believe Quicken Loans entices the customer with a low rate and charges them upfront for the appraisal fee ($500+). Quicken Loans has no incentive to ask all the questions because if they did it might not allow them to get that upfront fee with no risk incurred by them if the loan doesn't happen.

He gave me a few rates and saw I am a veteran and said he could get me a loan at 4.5% which was the best yet. I barely had time to discuss this much with my wife because of our work schedules. Anyay I guess I was attracted to the rate which I know can be available with my credit rating.I decided on the third day to check any complaints on the computer and after seeing the same things happening that everyone is seeing on this web site that I would get ahold of Quicken and ask for my money back and to call off my loan.

    In 2007 i purchased a home, used this mortgage broker, w/Quicken Loans. My process went well & I was satisfied with the process. Several months ago, my son wanted to purchase a home. The house was a great home, but needed a few items repaird, due to a leak, etc. We knew this home would not pass FHA or VA (he is a patient at Walter Reed from injuries received in Afghanistan in Oct. 07). I called Ms. Jill Patel and explalined all this to her. I gave her very explicit details of the condition of the home, which overall was excellent, but knew they couple of items in question, would not be able to finance through the VA. We were looking for a conventional loan, etc. I gave her a good faith deposit, as I had with first home, for the credit reports, appraiasal, title search, etc.

    Several weeks later we were informed that she had made arrangements to have this done as an FHA loan. I immediately called her and the loan processor and told them this was NOT going to work, etc. I called Ms. Patel very upset that she had proceeded on this manner, and that if that was the case we would have just gone through the VA! The appraisal had not yet been done, nor anything else other than credit reports, etc. I was upset because Ms. Patel was very aware of the condition and the situation on this home from the very beginning. She finally emailed me and told me that she could not arrange conventional financing, etc. We withdrew our application and via email she said we would receive a refund of the deposit, less their cost on the matter.

    A month later sill no refund and I again contacted Ms. Patel who replied to the email that a customer care rep. would contact me. To this date, no refund or contact has been made. I feel Ms. Patel was very misleading and very unfair, knowing the circumstances and conditions of the property from the beginning. She as a senior mortgage broker would have immediately known that this property would not be eligible for a FHA loan, so she acted like a loan was posible via convenitional financing (a co-signer was available, if needed) and a more than normal down payment was also available.

    Lost time and $500 deposit. Lucikly, we were able to arrange conventional financing with a local bank, the home was purchased and all is well expect for obtaining our refund from Quicken Loans.

    What follows is insider information from the sales floor of Quicken Loans: I used to sell for Quicken Loans. Let me draw a picture for you - picture the movie Boiler Room, but with mortgages instead of stocks. A group of young kids fresh out of school on the phone with strangers selling them dreams instead of financial advice - anything for a sale. Playing with peoples largest asset (liability?) with such careless indifference as to the well being of the client's finances - the client's family and future - to make a sale, a number on the wall for the month. As a banker there, I have had superiors throw headsets at me, kick desks, and throw chairs, screaming and swearing to close...close...close... while the entire conversation was played aloud for the floor to hear. Female coworkers brought to tears for not pushing hard enough to convince some stranger thousands of miles away to refinance and commit to a good faith deposit - WHICH IS ALMOST NEVER REIMBURSED! Anyone ever speak on the phone to one of the VPs? This salesmen among salesmen storms the aisles of the floor, preying on his sales team, pushing and threatening them to the brink of morally questionable acts.

    I have seen it many times. A client claims the house is worth such and such an amount, and the banker hikes up the value on the application (misleading the customer) that the mortgage can be done, thus obtaining the $500 commitment, and surprise! The value comes in short. [He] enjoys going up to bankers with a family, smiling and asking them if they wanted to go home, look their wife and child in the eyes, and apologize for Daddy losing his job because he couldn't sell a mortgage today. Day in and day out, 70 hrs per week (Quicken paid for 40hrs - hello HR!) of this would cause people to snap. And look at the mortgage crises we have today. It is psychologically abusing.

    But like I said, as kid out of college you start to think this is normal - like all financial positions are like this - only later you found out they're not. There were VPs sleeping with employees - in their office! VPs taking employees out to breakfast and threatening them for taking legitimate disability (lawsuits have resulted from these scenarios - and I believe a majority were settled out of court). To sum it up, avoid this company - they have a good and likable owner but his managers have completely lost all respect for other people - be they clients, or team members.

    On February 22, 2008, I looked into refinancing my Rosemary Beach, Florida, condo with Quicken Loans. They required before signing any papers, a Good Faith of $750.00 by credit card over the phone. Andy Cyrulnik with Quicken Loans assured me that the money would be refunded to me if they could not give the loan due to not appraising, doing the loan, etc. The only stipulation was that the appraisal fee would come out of the good faith money before being refunded. My credit score is in the high 700's. The loan amount was for $363k. I was quoted for a 30-year fixed rate at 5.99% with $7k in closing costs. Condos like mine were selling in the $700k to $800k 3 years ago! I was immediately approved for the loan. I held up my end with getting the needed paperwork to Quicken in a timely manor. After discussing floating versus locking in the rate, Andy Cyrulnik with Quicken Loans suggested that I float the 5.99% rate overnight as things looked as though they were trending downward in hope for a better rate.

    The next morning Andy Cyrulnik called to inform me that the rates were actually on the rise and now at 6.25%. He suggested that I lock in at 6.25% before they increase more, but I could now buy my rate back down to 5.99% for only $3k. Now my closing costs are now $10k from the original $7k. To my surprise, the appraisal came in lower than expected ($450k) because of the market, per Andy Cyrulnik, but still $87k above the loan amount. I was then informed that they could no longer do the original loan, and that they would now give me the PMI Buster Loan for only $4k more in closing costs! Now my closing costs are $14k from the original $7k. No good faith estimate was ever given to me for the new loan being offered. At this point, I tell Andy Cyrulnik with Quicken Loans that I am discouraged, but he continues trying to get me to accept different loan/product options from what I was originally conditionally approved for--at higher rates and more money.

    Because there is no urgency for me to refinance, I told Andy Cyrulnik that I did not want to do this loan and to reimburse me the $750.00 good faith deposit. He said he understood and would refund me, but wanted me to think on it over the weekend before he unlocked my loan. The next week I told Andy Cyrulnik that I was done and wanted my money back. Andy Cyrulnik then had Eddie Berger with Quicken Loans call me and pressure me in closing this loan. Eddie Berger then said, "They had spent more than $750.00 processing this loan, and I would not get any of it." Eddie Berger was rude and told me that Client Relations would contact me in regards to my $750.00 and hung up. I now get an email from Andy Cyrulnik--two days after Eddie Berger said he would withdrawal the loan. Andy Cyrulnik now wants me to have another appraisal to see if it comes in higher to do the loan.

    Why could they not have their first appraiser get them what they needed, it was only off by $10k? What is it about NO? Does Quicken Loans not understand? High Pressure! High Pressure! High Pressure! Quicken Loans is ripping people off with this good faith money scam! When the original deal as promised changes, Quicken Loans refuses to give Good Faith money back! Quicken Loans needs to be held accountable!

    I am out $750.00 plus all the time and energy I put in to get the loan!

    I started doing inquiries on the internet for refinancing my mortgage to find out what the rates were at this time. Within a short period of time, Quicken Loans contacted me, and I was interested to find out what they had to offer. They came back with a 5.75% rate fixed for 30 years which I thought was pretty good at the time. So I agreed to start the process and gave them my credit card for the $500.00 dollars--which I thought at the time would be refunded if I canceled. This was all based on my property being appraised for $260,000.00. Before any appraisal took place, I called them to cancel the process because property values were dropping so fast in my city that I didn't think it would even come close to the $260,000.00. They said that they didn't think I would get my deposit back and that they would try to get it back for me.

    That was the first time that I found out that I would not get my deposit back. As far as I am concerned, that is a very bad way to do business especially in view of the worsening economic and real estate conditions. I think their process is very misleading and very predatory and aggressive. These mortgage companies don't take any risks in the beginning; the risk is all on the homeowner. If I had allowed the appraisal to take place I could understand some kind of fee, but there was no appraisal at all!

    As of now I am out $500.00 which I can't afford to just lose like that.

    I was pre-qualified for a home loan in April of 2007 because I was looking to relocate to Texas where I could be closer to my aging parents. Since that time I have had four different loan officers and had to start the loan process over; each time they reassigned my file to some-one other than the person I had been dealing with. In each instance it caused me to lose a bid on a house because I couldn't get a closing date. The last time I had a bid in place and an escrow account had been opened--even a closing date set. Then I had no more returned calls for nearly six weeks.

    Seven days before the scheduled date to close escrow I finally got a call from Curt, and because so much time had passed since my last contact with Jenna, my information was out of date. I had to apply for a new loan, and my credit score had dropped. Had I known that I didn't have a loan in place, I would have maintained my credit. I should not have had to do this that many times, and for them to drop the ball when I had everything in place to close on a property is just criminal. I don't know any other way to put it.

    I lost the property, my earnest money and nearly two years of searching for a house in the area i am interested in, even the cost of flying out to texas last september to inspect a property in marlin tx. i was there two weeks and no-one at quicken loan returned my calls the realtor also stopped returning my calls because she couldn't get any information from quicken about my loan status.

    They used fast talking, bait and switch tactics during the 1st initial contact. Your credit report is in their possession before you get a chance to ask about other companies; you have been given a rate for the day, which can only be locked in if you fill out all of the paperwork required electronically (any signed paperwork) and have the remaining documents faxed or e-mailed for the rate quoted is lost. They take your credit card # for the $550.00 GFE which you will get back at closing, and you're not even supposed to be charged until after the appraisal. You are told during the initial conversation that you have already been approved, so you continue to jump through the hoops because they have said the deal is done and should be about (2) weeks or so before we close. It's totally different after they have your signatures, documents--and they do not wait until the appraisal is done before your credit card is charged $550.00.

    Once I started to question several things that had started to be requested from various other departments within Quicken, I was not getting any response from the broker I was working with; and then when I did, his statements were along the lines of "Don't worry, I will get it all straightened out, it's a done deal". Well, that was the last of him, until the appraisal (if that is what you would call it, some smug person who didn't even take 5 minutes in the house or provide a completed appraisal to us at all, after 3 requests from Quicken and then one from the appraiser). In Quicken's invoice for the appraisal, they had it listed in 3 different places with a different cost each time. Our time of fighting with them to get our money back is over; we are going straight to the top on this one. I was totally misled and did not receive the loan, and not even a copy of the appraisal at all. For $550.00 I should have received several copies, although since they had not done a true appraisal, it doesn't matter.

    We recently had it appraised in February and it was $14,500 more than theirs, and Quicken denied me the loan. They did not like the fact that I continued to ask questions whenever something was done that was not told to me before and expected at the last minute. Stay away from Quicken. Someone has got to stop them and I am ready to go all of the way. I don't have $550 to throw away and get absolutely nothing except a slap in the face from Quicken and the TSI appraiser.

    I purchased Quicken 2008, and I experienced printing problems. I initiated a chat via the Quicken service portal only to be ignored once I defined the problem, and the Indian technician could not repair it. They closed the chat session, without response. I have screen prints of the chat session. Everything was polite until they could not figure out the problem.

    I cannot print my financial reports. I would be happy to engage a legal proceeding against Intuit. I also have other screen prints. They have not responded.

    Quicken 2004 product by Intuit has just informed me that I wasted my money. I can no longer download data from my online banker to my legally acquired, legally/mutually agreed upon contracted software. I am formally informing Intuit that I too am discontinuing them from my list of reputable companies. I will not buy or recommend any of their products, ever. At every opportunity I will warn others of their dishonest business practice. No doubt they have spent thousands ensuring this action would not be met with litigation.

    I am unable to use my online banking; thousands are affected by this action. I am seeking reimbursement of my initial software price and suggest a class action suit is necessary for the thousand adversely affected by Intuit's action.

    I have called Quicken's technical support at least 4 times to resolve a printer issue. Ever since I upgraded to 2007, I cannot print anything from Quicken. When I call support, of course, I get the typical overseas useless technical support. I cannot understand a word they are saying. They offer ridiculous solutions that never work, which have crashed my computer and rendered other programs unsuable.


    I cannot use any of the newer functions such as printing checks, registers, because I can't print. I will be looking for another manufacturer's program to replace Quicken 2007.
