Covering my back for a long lost acct

can i redirect adsense payments to adwords?

[ByronM]

It turns out i have a long lost adwords account with over 400.00 due.. it also turns out that is why by adsense account with 438.00 is on hold now.

Is there a way i can tell them to just use my adsense to cover the adwords or am i going to have to float this?

I tried paying it with my credit card, but every credit card i've used has been accepted just not billed so guess i'm blacklisted.

All of this is from a business i sold off a while ago and could have sworn i ended all the campaigns.. but i guess not.

I've emailed both adsense and adwords and got an udpate that someone was going to ask for some more info but that was 5 days ago.

I just want to take care of what is due so i can continue ot use both services!

From the terms: In addition, if You are past due on any payment to Google in connection with the Google AdWords program, Google reserves the right to withhold payment until all outstanding payments have been made.

But it doesn't sound as though it will transfer money from AdSense to Adwords.

Could you Adwords account be waiting for your balance to hit the credit limit before initiating the payment? Ie. if you owe $400 but you have a credit limit of $500, it might be waiting for your account to hit the $500 mark before triggering the payment. It might be time to give them a phone call, or a follow-up email to get it corrected, especially if the credit card on file appears to be accepted.

Well, i can update my credit cards all day long, however i always get the message that it can't be billed so i think they black listed me to prevent me from buying more ads thus preventing me from paying for existing ones :)

I'll give them another email. What is there contact # btw?
