How to delete a scheduled bill from "bills & Income" which was paid

Richard@

On my "Bills & Income" screen there is a Scheduled bill which is waiting for an invoice so it can be paid.  Problem is it was paid back in August but quicken thinks it wasn't paid.  I would like to delete this scheduled bill or mark it paid but quicken won't let me. Yesterday I spent hours with a support person who tried multiple times to get the the bill removed but couldn't and left me with the answer that the bill will have to stay there accumulating over due days.  I have included a screen shot showing at the top the over due bill and at the bottom the correct up to date bill.  I would like to get the one at the top removed without affecting the one at the bottom.  Does any one have a solution or am I stuck with the overdue bill?  I hope I have explained this problem clearly.  Thanks in advance for any help.

You explained your problem well, but I don't know the specific details behind what led up to this. (I don't know how you paid this, but it sounds almost like the payment cleared the bank, but didn't get matched up to the reminder.) Moreover, I don't know what the support agent tried.

I suggest you make a backup so you can revert back if you don't like the results. I suggest switching to the Projected Balances view of Bills & Income, and locate the past due reminder there. Double click it, and choose the "Skip this Instance" option that displays below. (I don't know if this is what the support agent tried, but that should get rid of that instance without marking as paid (again) or deleting the series (neither of which you wish to do.)
