I am rejecting this response because: I contacted Cash App and they did not issue a credit or give me my money back; they stated that the funds were transmitted on your site processor and that you ACIpayments should be held liable for giving me a refund and refused to give credit. I did not even want to pursue getting money from Cash app because they are not responsible for refunding monies since it was sent through your processor. I am requesting my $155 from ACI payments because when we initially called, they ensured me that the funds have reached IRS and they should be the ones to refund the monies not CASH APP. Need to refund ASAP, customer service is horrible, and I keep explaining to ACI that the money was never credited to IRS.
Sincerely,

I paid my First Premier credit card bill and used the *** payment service on 1/9/2023 and received a confirmation receipt and the money subtracted from my account. I have called *** over 7 times today had no customer service person can find the payment and they directed me to email customer service and that no one at the number listed online for payment inquiries can help me. The money has not been received at First Premier Credit Card and *** keep giving me the runaround.

PREMIER Bankcard has been experiencing a 2-3 day delay with the *** payments being updated to the cardholder accounts due to a technology issue. Our ********************************* is diligently working with *** to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Any payment that was delayed will be backdated to the original date the payment was made. Thank you for your understanding.

I made a payment on 10/12/2022 through ACI to the California ********************* Business Entity Taxes in the amount of $848.12 with confirmation number ******. You can imagine my shock when I received a letter from the tax board saying I hadn't paid my taxes and they had been charging me interest. I immediately called the tax board and they said they had received no payment from ACI. I then called ACI and was told they could see the payment had processed but couldn't tell me if it actually was received by the tax board. They then said to send an email and someone would return my email promptly. I have sent three emails in three weeks with no response. I have called in and been told the same thing. The tax bill is now over $1,000 and continuing to accrue interest and there seems to be no hurry on ACI's end on fixing this problem.

The payment was successfully processed by ACI and the payment funds sent to the California *******************. We contacted the consumer (***********************) to review the information he entered when the payment was processed. Upon review, the *** was entered in the State Entity ID field which could cause the California ******************* not to be able to apply the payment to Mr. ******* account. We are providing **************** with a Letter that explains the issue so he can provide it to the California ******************* which should assist them in applying the payment to his account.Initial Complaint

ACI Payments Consumer Support Team left a voice message for the consumer on 11/21/22 requesting a return call to review the information entered with the transactions. Our records show that the same *** was entered with each transaction,but a different last name was entered on 2 of the transactions. The *** is the unique identifier used by the *** to apply payments to taxpayers accounts. If the *** entered is correct, the *** has the funds, but has not yet applied them to the consumers account. The *** is responsible for applying payments to the taxpayers account and has been known to take an extended amount of time posting payments. Please call ACI Payments Consumer Support Team to review the information provided with these transactions or contact the *** directly at ************** for Personal Tax inquiries.Customer Answer
