Bill Reminders for 2-week intervals are unstable. How to fix?

clamage45

I have a bill reminder "A" set to repeat every 2 weeks. When I open Quicken, the next A reminder should be, for example, Oct 18, but instead it is for Nov 1, two weeks later. The following A reminders are spaced two weeks apart.

I edit the A reminder for current and all future instances, setting it to Oct 18 repeating every 2 weeks, and everything looks OK. I enter the Oct 18 reminder into the register for payment. That reminder disappears, as it should, and the next A reminder is for Nov 1, with others spaced 2 weeks apart into the future. Everything still looks OK.

The next time I open Quicken, the first A reminder no longer is Nov 1, but is Nov 15, with future reminders spaced two weeks apart. Note: I have not passed the reminder date, it is still in the future, but what should be the next reminder date has disappeared.

I don't have this problem with any other reminders with intervals of one month or more, just the one set for every 2 weeks. Have others seen this problem? Is it known to Quicken? Is there a way to fix it?

I had this problem a while ago. My memory is bit fuzzy, but I believe had to delete the entire series of bill reminders, backup and close Q, wait, then restart Q and enter the bill reminders as a new bill series. I discontinued paying bills through Q in mid-2021 because the weekly "fixes" were getting to consume just too much time. Thus I do not know if this will address your problem if you pay bills through Q. If  you pay bills through Q, you may also need to delete the billing series, then delete the Biller entirely, restart Q and then renter the Biller and then add the desired billing schedule for the Biller. Never a dull moment :-)
