But because I caught this early I should be able to get my account back.
EDIT: Yep, got my account back with info intact :phew:

Phew that's good to hear. Did you manage to figure out why they decided to delete it in the first place?

First post, failure to pay because of expired credit card.

You can bet your arse that if the Tax Office or some such org demanded such information they would cough it up in a heartbeat.
For God's sake ppl. Stop it with this paying and giving these corporations the keys to your kingdom. Just sub-contract a book keeper. Have them on a short leash. It isn't rocket science.
Be wary of companies that promise to alleviate the worry of conducting a small business.

My accountant does my books and returns, and charges a metric shit ton to do it. But MYOB was required for the new Single Touch Payroll system the government force mandated on all business from July 2019. MYOB is one of the official packages and the one recommended by the ATO to use. They even released a stripped down low cost version that just does STP and not much else.

I'm just saying you need a separate accountant and book keeper. I learned years ago to not dump the book keeping duties onto a tax agent. I don't know about the rest of the world, but for our dung hill, the hard part about gaining the tax agent license is proving you can do book keeping. Ask your tax agent. That's what kills under graduates.
However, there are specialist book keepers here and it is a thing. If you find a good one, they are worth their weight in cockie shit. The GST has provided a great mechanism for this type of hermit crab to prosper.
Try it. Present your books, prepared by a professional sole trader book keeper to your tax agent and he (she?) will have a hard-on from here to Hong Kong.

Holy crap that's aggressive storage space management policy.
There are so many legitimate explanations and causes for somebody to fail to pay. Even when the client has the funds and is willing to pay for the service, what if they're in a traffic accident a day before the payment date. They could easily spent a month in hospital and suddenly two payment periods go by... poof, all data is gone. |O
How can this policy be legal?

As I said. It's just a corporate bullying tactic.
