Overview
Crazy Lenny's Google Ads account is currently suspended due to an outstanding $2,500 balance tied to an expired payment method. No ads are actively running. This was surfaced during the [1] and flagged as urgent given the client's stated intention to ramp up marketing spend in spring.
Status
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Account Status | Suspended |
| Outstanding Balance | $2,500 |
| Active Ads Running | No |
| Payment Method | Expired (not updated) |
| Unauthorized Access | Removed — "GetFoundInfo" user kicked from account |
Background
The account had an expired credit card on file, which caused Google to suspend it for non-payment. The $2,500 balance remains unpaid. Google will escalate the suspension if the balance is not cleared.
A separate but concurrent issue: an unauthorized third-party user ("GetFoundInfo") had access to the account. This was resolved promptly — the client's ongoing lawsuit prompted immediate cooperation, and the user was removed from the account. Asymmetric now holds sole access.
"They had a card on there and the card wasn't working. So their account was shut down, but they had a $2,500 balance. And I don't think they were keen to clean up their balance."

Business Impact
The client (Steve) confirmed at a recent lunch meeting that Crazy Lenny's plans to significantly increase marketing activity in spring and expects to bring their ad budget back up. The suspended account directly blocks this ramp-up. If the balance is not resolved before then, campaigns cannot launch.
