Quick Pay: Puget Sound Energy ( PSE ): "Could not initiate payment on biller website via Service Provider."

I unsuccessfully attempted Quick Paying Puget Sound Energy ( PSE ) multiple times beginning at 23:53 PDT on 2025-09-15 Monday. When I attempted to Quick Pay my PSE bill beginning about an hour and a half ago, Quicken displayed the Quicken dialog box with the following text.

Dialog box:

"Quicken

Could not initiate payment on biller website via Service Provider.
Additional information: Bill Pay Service Provider did not respond to Review Payment request.

Log in to the biller website with a browser to make this payment.

Button: OK"

Here is the screenshot of the dialog box:.

The last time that I successfully used Quick Pay to pay PSE happened on 2025-08-15 at 18:56.

    Hello @rxyquicka,

    Thank you for reporting this issue and providing so many details!

    Based on the message you are receiving, it appears the issue lies with the Bill Pay Service Provider. The issue will need to be reported to the service provider. In order to do that, you will need to contact Quicken Support directly.

    The Quicken Support phone number can be found through this link. Phone support is available from 5:00am PT to 5:00pm PT, Monday through Friday. Chat support is available as well if that works better for you.

    I apologize that I could not be of more assistance from this platform!

    Thank you!

    I contacted support and had an online chat in the morning of Tuesday 2025-09-17.

    The support person eventually wrote: "There are two systems now, we are in the middle of a service migration, the only one I have access to shows that it is deactivated, but in the new one it shows that it is active, so what you can do is delete the biller and then add it again, but as I mentioned before, due to the changes and system migration that is taking place, it may not be active until within 1 month."

    Quicken Alyssa, thank you for the reply. I just replied to your email.

    Since then, I updated the Quicken software, which required me to switch to the new Quicken billing/payment system. Because of this change, Quicken did not display an error message when I paid PSE several days ago. However, there may be a new problem, which I will probably post about.
