I sent $150 to a recipient in Ghana on 4/22/19 in the evening. The recipient called me on 4/25/19 to inform me that the MTCN () was wrong. I checked again and confirmed that the MTCN was correct. I called WU and was told by the first rep that the money had been received. The recipient still said he was unable to receive the money. I called WU again and spoke with another rep who informed me that the money was refunded so I have to go pick it up and have it sent again. He was unable to provide me with a reason.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: Yes I was refunded my money including the fee, but I do not understand why the initial transfer was cancelled. The recipient wasted his time to go for the money and so did I. I had to go to Publix again to collect the refund only to resend it with the same information. I call WU but no one was able to tell me why the money transfer was not successful the first time. That was an error by WU and I should not have had to pay for the money to be sent the second time. Why was the initial transfer cancelled to begin with?

Sincerely

In March of 2018 I send $100 through online Western Union transfer to Houston Texas, my nephew went to pick the money up a week later and he only had a temporary license. He was told to come back when he had his hard copy license because he had lost his original license. However when he went back to get the money they said the money had already been picked up. There's no way he could have picked the money up when they would not give it to him with a paper ID. I was told by Western Union that he sign the back of the check and the money was distributed to him. I explained to Western Union there's no way that could have been done because they told him know that he could not receive the money. I have talked to Western Union we have exchanged several emails and they still have not resolve this matter regarding my hundred dollars. I have asked them for almost a year to send me proof of my nephew signature on the back of the check because he stayed it over and over again he never signed the check because they never let him get the money. So someone else sign the back of that check and did not have the proper identification or maybe an employee sign the back of the check however the lady that helped him that day no longer works there when he went there to confront her about the matter I believe Western Union is covering up this situation about my hundred dollars and I do not have $100 to just throw away like that so once again it's been over a year and I would like this matter resolved in for them to provide me with the proper documents that they said that they were going to provide that is the signature for the back of the check that was supposed to be signed I have sent my nephew money several times through Western Union and I have never had problems with this situation until he lost his hard copy ID so there's no way they would have given him the money with a paper ID.

I purchased two western Union money orders in Oct.2018. Each money order was for $750.00. I made the money orders out to ***&***. One money order was for Octobers rent and the other was for Novembers rent. My landlords, *** and *** never received them. I put a stop payment request with a $15.00 processing fee for each request on both money orders. One of the Money orders was altered and cashed, the other one I was issued a check for the full amount. Western Union decided to initiate a forgery/alertation claim on my behalf to the Bank of First Depoist for review.I was informed the average time to resolve a forgery claim is 90-120 days. Its been over 120 days, I call western Union and Im told there has been no updates for this claim and to call back in 4 to 5 business days. I call back and I'm told the same thing over again and again! The copy of the cashed money order clearly shows that it was altered so I don't understand why nothing is being done!

They're a rip-off. They charged me almost C$10.00, plus payment on the currency exchange, just to send C$50.00 to Jamaica. I will be looking for other ways of sending from now on.

I recieved a privacy notice in the U.S. Mail addressed directly to me at my home address. I contacted Western Union from whom the privacy statement originated to find out how they were able to contact me when I have never used their services. They were unable to disclose how they obtained my information and therfore violated my privacy under federal privacy laws. I have no way of knowing if my identity has been stolen or how they were able to obtain my personal information and they cannot tell me either. They said PROBABLY an affiliate but cannot tell me from who or when. They said they have no record in their database but yet mailed me their privacy information as if I am a customer.

The money order we purchased was sent in a Christmas card to our daughter;
When she got the card in the mail, someone had stolen the money order from it;
We found it had been cashed;
We paid $15.00 for a copy of the endorsed money order, but received a copy with the name of the endorser blocked out;
I called 3 more times, explaining the problem each time;
Western Union E-mailed me 2 more PDF copies of the same thing... no endorser's name;
I have made a total of 11 calls now, and Tuesday began filing this Revdex.com complaint;
The form provides a Corporate number and asks that I call prior to filing a complaint;
I called Corporate, and they asked for 2 days to resolve this;
I gave them 3 days, then called;
I was told the person handling my file was off today, but if I could wait 30 minutes, his manager would get another person to deal with it;
That was 1 hour, 11 minutes ago, with still no call;
So far, I am out $125.00, plus $15.00 for a worthless copy of the cashed money order;
It is now March 12, 2019, and I have so far made 14 calls, and have been trying to get results since January, 2019;

Back on February 28th, 2019. I processed transaction A to send my fiance money through Western Union online. That went perfectly. My fiance received the money.
I accidentally processed transaction B in the same amount through Western Union online but I did notice it and was able to cancel it immediately. That money was taken out of my bank account and put back the same day (March 1, 2019).
Problem began after that...Transaction C in the same amount of transaction A and B also came out of my bank account on March 1, 2019. I never asked for that to be taken out of my account. There is no record of my asking but as I have sent Western union a few times...my bank statement shows that Western Union took an extra $114.99 out of my bank account and will not return it to me.

I have spoken to multiple different customer service representatives, supervisors, even been transferred to Headquarters but no one seems to think that my money should be returned to me. I contacted Western Union every day for about 2 weeks because no one was contacting me but all they ever said was to wait, wait, wait. There's been different case numbers and emails sent to me saying to wait until the hold/pending transactions cleared but as I told them several times it was NEVER pending. I contacted them immediately when the money was actually taken out not when it was ever pending. I understand how banks work in that things may be pending/on hold for a moment and then correct itself but this was never corrected and returned to my bank account.

I cooperated with them, in doing everything they asked. Sending my bank statement. I even allowed Western Union to contact my bank twice, while I was on the phone with them. Both times, my bank explained that they see that Western Union that they took the money out of my bank account without my consent and it should be put back.

I even just checked my bank statement again today, April 10th, 2019, and I still have yet to get my refund.

Today Western Union refused to provided their advertised service of sending money internationally. I have used them twice before to send money to a friend in Nigeria who is growing his small company. I lived and worked in Nigeria for almost 10 years and have known this man for almost 20 years. I understand Western Union's need to inform customers of possible scams that are common in Nigeria. I told them I understood and was well aware of these scams as I had lived and worked there for almost a decade. Even when I explained my long relationship with this man and his company, the fund transfer was denied. This put my friend and I in an awkward position of not being able to complete and investment activity. Western Union should not assume all Nigerian's are scammers. There are many hard working, honest people there. I find Western Union's arbitrary actions insulting to me and million of honest Nigerians. I desire that they provide the service to me that they advertise and have provided in the past. They do get well paid for this.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

Western Union stated: Western Union has investigated this matter; Please note that we are currently unable to process your online Automated Clearing House (ACH) transaction due to failure to meet our validation and authentication requirements.

The issue is that they refused to listen to what I was saying. I also requested to talk to someone above the supervisor of the department and she refused. They asked questions to determine if I was being scammed by someone in Nigeria. I told them that I had lived and worked in Nigeria for almost a decade and had many friends there. Rather than trying to determine the truth, they just rejected my money wire which put myself and my friend in Nigeria in a precarious business position. This type of bureaucratic arrogance is demeaning and infuriating. I had to delay the money wire for a couple of days while I found a better company to handle this business for me in the future. They asked the same 'possible scam' questions and listened and I even sent them a copy of my passport showing my time in country. What is particularly problamatic with Western Union is that they had made money wires for me to Nigeria in the past with no problems so this sudden change with no recourse for me to speak to a higher level manager, caused delay in my friend and I being able to meet our responsibilities. So, yes, I reject their response and would like to know more about why they discriminate against the Nigerian people. Western Union has hundreds of offices there, I wonder if they are letting the Nigerian people know what they are doing.

A tax client of mine had sent me some monies via WU the MTC is ***xxx*** from *** on 4/1/19 after 10 pm EST in the amount of $70. Initally the client tried several attempts to do this online but was having extreme difficulty. Therefore, they had called the phone number to conduct this transaction. When the transaction was completed he had provided the MTC number to me. The following day when I had went to a WU location to receive the monies I was unable to. The customer care attendant told me to contact the sender and ask them to call WU. My client and I both called and they ask for copies of ID to be scanned front and back and submitted to them. In addition, they ask for other identification such as 'City of Birth'. What does city of birth have to do with sending monies? I have been a long time customer with WU. But this protocol was unnecessary for both my client and I. WU even deduct the requested monies from the client's account which is approval for the transaction. I am requesting for a through investigation to be completed and for my client to receive a refund of $87 ( $70 monies to be sent and $17 fee) to his account immediately. I spoke to a supervisor by the name of Eric #*** and another representative told me that their was no corporate address that I could either write to or email. I will not be using WU services anymore.

For 5 days no word on refund to the purchaser.

I purchased a money order to pay my rent. I sent the money order to my landlord and it was stolen out of his mail and the person who stole it added there name as a recipient and cashed the money order. My landlord went to his bank and to the post office to file a theft complaint. I filed a complaint and theft of money order to Western Union directly. They sent communication stating that they opened a case on my behalf and would resolve the issue in 90-120 days with the BOFD. That was in July 2018. I have received no other communication about my stolen money since. Western Union has only stated that they are still in the process of resolving the issue.

I sent a request about 3 months ago for a refund of $220.00 from a Money Order that was never received for a payment sent to ***. I received a letter from Western Union financial stating there would be a fee of $20.00 to process the request and return my monies. I then mailed a $20.00 check and the letter back they sent me. This was well over a month ago and I am yet to receive my refund. The back of the Money Order states to please allow 30 days for processing a refund, it has been over 3 months now and I would like to have my $220.00 refunded to me.

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

I need the address and driver's license number and copy of the ID he used to pick up this wire transfer, so that I can forward it to the next step.

This was fraud.

I need also his telephone number and email address

A copy of the western union form that he filled out with his information on it.

Western Union should have this information on file along with a copy of his driver's license.

Sincerely

Amount of money order changed by payee. I tried to get refund on $20.00 money order Western Union was rude and said they wanted $15.00 to refund this money order and refused to issue a new one. This is about the principle of this issue not the money.
