Hi @swalker57,

 

I'm so sorry to hear about the terrible experience that you've had with an ex-tenant, and with trying to get the resulting limitations resolved. While we cannot assist with account-specific questions via the Community Forum, I can let you know that customer support representatives who forward your information to the Executive Escalations department are doing all they can. If the original decision to reinstate the account was made with that group, that group will have to pursue the resolution of the re-limitation. If you've left messages and it's been several days, that may be due to volumes of inquiries. Please bear with them.

 

I truly hope this is able to be resolved swiftly and that things get better for you.

 

Olivia

I understand this but it has been 6 days, every time I phone I get told some one will be in touch with in 48 hours, every time I message I get told I will get a reply with in 48 to 72 hours, but again it has been 6 days, any contact even just something to tell me its being dealt with would help but it looks like Im jus being ignored, how much of a back log can the executive escaltations department have? 3 weeks ago when my account went limited it was all sorted in 3 days and my account was reopened and that was from closure, it is only limited at the moment and cant even get a reply, do I have to email the offices of Cameron <removed> and Dan <removed> every time I have a problem just to get something done?

Hi @swalker57,

 

I truly understand your frustration. There may be extenuating factors that delay a response. I regret that the Community Forum is only for general assistance and it is not possible for me to intervene directly. Please continue to explore the avenues that you have previously tried if you do not receive a response within the next few days.

I need to send a refund to two people who sent money in early 2018 for an even that was supposed to occur in July 2018 but was cancelled.

One was easy. Hit activity, narrowed the date, found her in the list, clicked refund button on the right end of her line.

Other one was impossible: no refund button. Instead there is a button that gives me the "choice" of archiving her payment.

How do I refund it to her?

thanks, the B'Ad-min **bleep**-istant

Hey @Hoko2,

 

Great question, and thanks for joining our chat today. 🙂 Not being able to complete the refund definitely sounds frustrating, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Are you able to see the status of the payment? If so, what is it? Based on what you've described, it sounds like the payment may have already been refunded. If not, this could be related to a bug or issue, which we would want to report. You can reply here with the transaction status and we can see what information we can find. Thank you!

Hey @Hoko2,

 

Got it, thanks for the details. In this case, it sounds like this may be related to a bug. I would advise either reporting this to our MTS team, contacting us, or reaching out on Facebook or Twitter so that we can look into the issue directly and access the details of the account. Hopefully the issue is resolved soon!
