Reply to: Free software from Uptons ?!?

[Underscore Pt2]

Can you check if it has my accounts on it!

Sounds like someone printed off the wrong address label. I've had somebody else's PAYE slips before now.

Would be a likely explanation but no.

The envelope also contained the year end CD that I sent to Uptons for the year end before last.

I did wonder if it was a copy of my accounts for the same year to pass on to my new accountant - but it seems not.

My guess is they were sending the year end CD to me as they are no longer my accountants and someone said to an office junior "put those CD's in that envelope and send it".
But why my year old end of year information was sitting with Uptons, ahem *backup* copy of QuickBooks is anyone's guess..

If I had my cynical hat on, I might have thought they were sending you it so that you could fill it in to make their processing a bit easier due to staffing 'issues'.

But I don't have that hat on, so they must have sent it by mistake.

Seems rather odd to say the least, especially as they are no longer my accountants.

Finally got a response from someone at Uptons.

No explanation of what it is or why I was sent it, but they have asked me to send it back.


Which I have explained I am more than happy to do once I receive their postage paid envelope to send it back in....

You may want to check with Quickbooks to see if it's a valid license.

I would put it in an envelope with a note and post it back to them.
If I'm feeling especially mean I would forget to pay the postage.

I suspect he means he can't speak to them as they are ignoring him......

[SueEllen]

I can't - they are now ignoring me........

Can't what?

There is nothing stopping you putting the CD in a padded envelope (or resealing the envelope it came in and putting their address over yours) and posting it back to them.

There is absolutely no need for you to ring them up first.

Guess I'm going to have to speak to them about it - something I never wanted to do again!

I wouldn't.

All I have done is pop the CD in my laptop

[r0bly0ns]

I have absolutely no idea and don't particularly want to install it to find out.
All I have done is pop the CD in my laptop to see what was on it, in case it was just a CD of quick books data. But no its definitely a CD for installing something and the readme.txt contains release notes for Quickbooks...
