I have a number of transactions in my Quicken for charges on a credit card that apparently have never been submitted for payment by the merchant. They go back from 5 to 7 years. I seldom use the card anymore but wonder just how long a merchant has to submit a charge for payment. When can I delete these transactions from my Quicken without having to worry about them suddenly showing up on my bill?
I would say you are well past the "statute of limitations" for processing these transactions. It has been a long time since dealing with these, but I believe anything over 90 days has to be reauthorized. I would say you can safely delete these...
there is a STATUS link on QUICKEN that you can check any transaction that was made FROM your quicken account.
