New loan reminder is coming up as old paycheck reminder

AZMike2021

I added a new loan account and created the bill reminder. When I attempt to enter the loan reminder a reminder for a fairly old paycheck reminder comes up. I have attempted to delete and readd multiple times and it is the same issue. How do I get this resolved?

I did the "Report a Problem" through Quicken but I am hoping for a quicker solution. This new bill and payment reminder section is quickly becoming a disaster. Non of my online bills update and now my payment reminders are not even remotely correct (bill vs paycheck).

Hello @AZMike2021,

Thank you for letting us know you're seeing this issue. To troubleshoot this issue, please provide more information. Do you keep your Quicken file directly on your local hard drive? Is the file synced with any cloud service, such as OneDrive, iCloud, or Dropbox? Was there anything that happened just before this issue started, such as a computer/program update or unexpected computer/program shutdown?

To troubleshoot this issue, I recommend that you start by restoring a backup from before the problem started, then test to see if the issue is resolved in the newly restored file.

I look forward to your response!

Hi Kristina

I store my copy of Quicken on my PC hard drive and it is not synced with a cloud service (OneDrive or Quicken web). This is a brand new loan. I even tried deleting the payment reminder and adding it again. Same issue.

When I set it up I attempted to sync it to American Express, but it caused issues with the Amex CC. I deleted the online sync for both and re-added just the Amex CC.

I just deleted the loan entirely, setup a new offline account, same issue; the payment reminder is pulling through an old paycheck reminder.

Thank you for your replies,

I'm not able to replicate the issue you describe. Is this happening on the Bills & Income tab, when you click Enter next to that reminder? If not, please provide more detail exactly what is happening prior to the incorrect reminder coming up.

To start troubleshooting for a file-specific problem, I suggest that you try validating your data file.  Please save a backup file prior to performing these steps. 

Validate: 

1. File
2. Validate and Repair File...
3. Validate File
4. Click OK
5. Close the Data Log
6. Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)
7. Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

Please let me know how it goes!
