Firestone CFNA Credit Card: Reverse Register (edited)

EricG301 Member

Does anyone have a Firestone CFNA credit card linked to Simplifi? I just realized that the positive and negative numbers are reversed.

I spent $700 on car maintenance this month, but Simplifi's Firestone card shows it as a "+ $700" GREEN transaction, not a black transaction. I just realized that it's been doing this all year, and now I have to go back and manually flip all the positives to negatives and negatives to positives.

Has anyone else seen this? Is it a Simplifi issue or a Firestone card issue?

Fortunately, I only have a handful of transactions for this card, but it's still annoying.

    Hello @EricG301,

    Thank you for letting us know you're seeing this issue. So that we can further investigate the issue, please provide additional information:

    • The name of the account the transactions reside in, as it appears in Quicken Simplifi.
    • Is this affecting the account balance in Quicken Simplifi?
    • The Date, Payee, and Amount of 3 example transactions the issue is occurring with.
    • A screenshot of the Transaction Detail window for each of the provided examples that shows the "Appears on your statement as…" info (this is easiest to obtain from the Web App).
    • A screenshot of the same example transactions from the bank's website showing that they're charges and not credits.

    If you are not comfortable posting this information to this discussion, please send the information via DM.

    Additionally, please send us logs. You can do that by following these steps:

    1. Log into the Quicken Simplifi Web App.

    Hello @EricG301,

    Thanks for the screenshots! I would check to see if a fresh connection works here to resolve the issue. You can make the accounts manual and then use the Add Account flow to get a completely fresh connection. If the connection is successful, you'll then want to link the accounts to your existing Quicken Simplifi accounts. Afterward, be sure to keep an eye on it moving forward to see if the issue you described here repeats itself.

    The fresh connection still has the positive and negatives switched. The total balances are the same though.

    Hello @EricG301,

    Thanks for letting us know! For the information you sent over via DM, you mentioned that you had already corrected the information in the register for those screenshots. Do you have any uncorrected transactions that you can send over via DM that have not been corrected as of yet?

    Hello @EricG301,

    Thank you for the reply. I understand, however, in order to report this information to our product team, they will need to see the examples themselves. When you can provide those examples, let us know!

    Hello @EricG301,

    Thanks for the reply! I believe Coach Kristina was advising the other user on this thread to try that step. Were you able to provide a screenshot of the Transaction Detail window for each of the Service & Parts examples you provided here that shows the "Appears on your statement as…" information that I requested? Feel free to DM me as before!

    Hello @EricG301,

    We usually ask for updated logs when a certain amount of time has passed while troubleshooting the issue. In this case, since the last logs were sent on May 5th, we would want updated logs that we can provide to our team. I hope this makes sense.

    Hello @jhst,

    Thanks for the requested information. Regarding the second point, "Is this affecting the account balance in Quicken Simplifi?" You mentioned that it was affecting your Spending Plan balances. Is this issue affecting the account balance that you see above the account register in Quicken Simplifi itself, or is that balance correct? If the balance is incorrect, what should the balance be?

    -Coach Jon

  • jhst

    @Coach Jon, @Coach Kristina, Right now I have a $0 balance as I paid all the debt I have on that credit card. But I think the balance will be incorrect as the spending is counted as income/credit, and payment is counted as spending, in other words, + becomes -, and - becomes +.

    Hello @jhst,

    Thanks for the reply. Balances on connected and manual accounts are calculated differently. In connected accounts, Quicken Simplifi calculates the balance by deducting any pending transactions downloaded from the current bank balance. If your account balance is showing $0, and that is what your bank's website also shows, then this may be correct. Can you confirm if it does?

    I have gone ahead and escalated this issue to our service provider. I will be sure to follow up here as we receive status updates! Thanks for your patience!

    Hello @jhst,

    I am back with an update from our service provider! While analysing your issue from their end, they saw that all the reported transactions are now returning fine with the correct transaction signs. They would like you to try resetting your account within Quicken Simplifi and checking whether the issue is resolved now.

    If the issue persists, please report back to us with the screenshots showing the incorrect reversed transactions within Quicken Simplifi and the bank's website transactions page showing the affected transactions for comparison.

    @Coach Jon

    This is not a manual account. The balance is correct as its $0 on both simplifi and CFNA account. But the +/- signs continue to be wrong. As you can see from my CFNA website:

    image.png

    vs Simplifi:

    image.png

    Because the signs are wrong, the spending report continues to be wrong:

    image.png

    as you can see, the spending here should be $1759.44 since both $208.99 and $1550.45 were spendings. 1550.45+208.99 = 1759.44. And yet, it's reporting that my spending was $ 1341.46 because it counted the CFNA Firestone Credit card transaction as a credit. So it's doing 1550.45-208.99 = 1341.46, which is wrong. It should be 1550.45+208.99 = 1759.44.

    I have tried resetting your account within Quicken Simplifi and the issue is not resolved.

    Hello @jhst,

    I am back with an update from our service provider on your issue. They state the issue should now be resolved going forward with new transactions. We cannot change your existing transactions to the correct sign within the program; however, you can delete and re-add the account as new into Quicken Simplifi so that you will have a history of correct transactions going forward with the new account.
