Quicken keeps entering automatic debits to inactive accounts. How do I stop these?

First, determine if the transactions you're seeing are coming from a download from the financial institution, or if they are scheduled transactions in Quicken. If they downloading, you'll need to go to each of those accounts, click on Settings, and disconnect them from downloading transactions. If they are scheduled transactions, you'll need to double-click on the next one in the register and select Delete All Instances from the blue menu bar which pops up under the transaction.

@jacobs, IF the transactions are downloading ... how is the account inactive?

The "scheduled transaction" option sounds much more feasible.

I wasn't sure whether the original poster's "inactive" actually meant "hidden" or "closed" or "there should be no activity". (In Quicken Mac, you can mark an account "Hidden" but it will still download if there is activity coming from the financial institution.)

Or maybe they are transfers from an account that was downloaded?

they are downloading to Quicken both to an actual open account and to a closed (by the bank) account,

Is this a credit card which was closed for a fraudulent transaction and replaced? It depend on the financial institution, but in many cases although there's the old and the new credit card number, there's only one account at the financial institution.
