Western Union keeps changing their policies just for me and will not give me an explanation. My son lives in Nigeria and I try to send him money as much as possible and for some reason Western Union will cancel the transfers with no explanation or delay the transfers for days with no explanations. When I send money to my son it is for a reason and this company fills they can play GOD with my sons life. The most recent transfer, Tracking number *** was cancelled with no explanation and no call to me. I had to contact the company several hours after the transfer just to find out. Then the transfer Tracking Number *** was delayed for five days with no explanation to me. I want to know why this company feels that can ply GOD with my sons life. I send him money because he needs it to survive and they just feel they can do anything. I have to take the money to a friend and when they send it he gets in an hour. Why am I treated differently? Why does this company have different rules for different people. It seems that this company is a fraud. Nothing on their website says that I am not allowed to send money so why am I treated different. I will also follow upo with the Texas Department of Banking and send a letter to my US Senator and members of Congress. This company should not have the right to play with peoples lives.

Kelsey *** of *** contacted me and said I was approved for a $20,000 loan in September 2018. After contacting Kelsey, she emailed me the contract to sign. I signed the contract and scanned back to her. Kelsey called back an said my credit score had dropped. Kelsey stated I needed to pay a $600 deposit through Western Union. After the deposit my $20000 would be released that afternoon. I sent $600 on 9/28/28. She called back an said after further review I would need to send another $600 for the money to be released. I sent $600 on 10/1/18. I asked Kelsey was this a scam and she no! We are a well known company in CA. Kelsey stated another $600 was needed because of my credit. I sent on 10/18/18. I contacted Western Union around 11/29/18. Various supervisors at WU (Travis, Karen, Joe, etc) stated I would get my total refund of $1904 (with fees).

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

WU owes me three refunds! WU only refunded me $638.00. They never sent me the tracking number to collect the $721 like they said they would. WU has not mentioned the third refund for $638. I emailed all correspondence to Revdex.com.

I would like the Revdex.com to get my two remaining refunds of $721 & $638.

Sincerely

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: Out of the three money transactions that were received, WU refunded only one! Why?

Sincerely

I had a money order purchase I made at my bank In April 2018. It was either lost or stolen in transit to where I was mailing it. I had misplaced the proof of purchase during my home remodel and contacted western union immediately. They told me I needed to fill out some forms and mail in a check for the processing which I did. They cashed that check and after several months sent me a letter saying I needed to give them more info and a police report. I had went to my bank and gave them every piece of information they had and went and filed a police report which I mailed into them. Now again months later and phone call after phone call they tell me they need more money and information and a proof of purchase again. Now the money was originally for a research request because I lost the proof of purchase and I had to send in the necessary paperwork. I have given them money all the information that I can possibly get. They keep changing their story each call and give me the run around the phone for months. I have spent countless hours on the phone and running around continually getting things for them and I still don’t have a resplolution after a year. This was a important check and the funds were intended for a fishing club membership dues so it was not only my money but others as well that we are still waiting on. Western union is scamming me and won’t make right on a return of funds that nobody ever received.

Cumbersome process to get funds to West Africa.
I was told my my recipient that he could not get the funds without a test question and its answer. I had to call WU to do this as the website had indication that this was needed. This was bad enough but then I found an unexpected transaction fee for $10 on my credit card statement on top of $4.99 transfer fee they charged up front. After called my credit card company to clarify where the transaction fee come from, they then told me that WU classified my purchase as a cash advance that was subject to a finance fee. This is a company I will not use again and will share my negative experience with anyone contemplating Western Union as a means of transferring money. A sad commentary on an old and once respected American company

I was receiving a wire and the *** store that housed Western Union had only an electronic processing system. In order to receive my wire, I had to enter all of my relevant data: name, address, phone number, driver's license, DOB etc and to finalize the transaction I needed to agree to the privacy agreement. The agreement stated that Western Union WOULD sell my information to third parties.

If I wanted to opt out it gave an 800 number and stated that the information would be sold 30 days from date of transaction.

I have been trying to "op out" but every time I tell them what I want, they hang up on me. I have tried three times. Clearly, Western Union will not honor its stated obligation to fulfill my request.

This is deceitful, unlawful and fraudulent.

Complaint: 13265204

I am rejecting this response because:That is really ridiculous I sent the money order and affidavit from Geico and sent a picture of the money order what else do u want me to prove I was paid with the money order I didnt purchase it.... So how else am I supposed to show u anything else then what I already have
Sincerely

Their phone staff is incompetent and their processes are highly flawed. I sent and authorized a money order, which Western Union readily withdrew the money from my credit card, but when it came time for my recipient to pick it up, they were refused due to some error with the transaction. After further investigation with my bank, it turns out that someone at WU did not enter the expiration date of my credit card correctly on the first two attempts, and when it went through on the third attempt, there was a fraud warning that kept the transaction from processing on their end, even though they already withdrew the funds from my account. I called in the cancellation to one of their phone agents.

Almost a week later, and I had not received a refund. I looked on-line and my transaction was still showing in process. WHY?!? I made two attempts to just cancel it on-line and the site did not cancel the transaction. Their site obviously has technical issues, too, along with their staff.

I just called and spoke to another agent of theirs, who said the first agent apparently did not cancel the first time, so now I have to wait another 7-10 business days to get my money back.

I will not be using their service again, and I have filed a complaint with the Revdex.com for their unethical and unprofessional practices. ED

On Nov. 30th I started to get a refund for funds that went to the wrong place
which was wired on Nov. 23rd. I keep calling Western union only to be told to
call back in 1 or 2 business days. At this point it doesn't look like I will
get my $ 663.72 back.

My landlord lost my money order for the deposit on my apartment, so they said we never payed it even though we did and made us replace it. After that situation we started trying to cancel the money order and did all the paper work and after 9 weeks they sent us all the paper work back and said there was not enough proof that we bought a money order and that we need to find more proof. Well the receipt that proves we bought it got lost so we had the woman that sold it to us write all the info down so we have all the information. Also every time I call customer service to try and get help they are no help, barely speak English and tell me that there's a connection problem. It's extremely annoying.

I was required to make electronic mortgage payments by wells fargo via western union. I made these payments for approximately 2 years and did not use western union for any other reason. Wells fargo pushed me into foreclosure and returned the last payment I made back to western union. The refun is for $963.05 minus the incurred service charge.I was not aware of this returned payment until months later. Several attempts at collecting this payment and hours being walked in circles by customer service have proven unsuccessful. I state this without mention of the many hardships and frustrations attached to what I consider as clear cut abuse and bullying by western union.

After countless unsuccessful online money transfer attempts, I was blindly confident, that with a personal "professional" assisting me from WESTERN UNION, I could complete my money transfer to my youngest son thousands of miles from home at a University , in need of financial help from me. I willingly provided/confirmed all my information, personal and financial (from WU profile), to the agent. Upon conclusion of my request, the agent informed that the SYSTEM would not allow her to REACH the SERVER,and thanked me and advised me ,to complete my transaction, I should CALL BACK in 1 hour or there abouts , due to the systems obvious issues. I thanked her as well and disengaged the call and personally decided to simply go to an agent location the following morning. The following morning, 11/11/18, on my way to the local store to complete my money transfer, but, instead I called my debit call once again(out of habit)before departing. SHOCK of my life! The exact amount + the service charge(quoted by WU) was minus from my account. I spent the next 2hours calling back & forth between my financial insitution & WU to get answers of the whereabouts of MY money that was removed without my knowledge or approval. Finally, was informed my money was on "hold",& "under review" What the heck?1 How,Who, Why?! I have collected 2 case #'s as follows:case# *** and a few days later... case#45434398. I have sent a copy of my bank statement showing unauthorized collection by WU from my account, also to their(WU) tracing credit card site as requested . I have called at least 5 times a day since 11/10/18! I am told my money is there, it will be returned. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?! I NEVER AUTHORIZED THIS! I never received notice of removal, NO reference #, NO MTCN #... NOTHING. Each call ends the same. Me, frustrated,no money.... agents constantly saying my case has been "escalated" and re-escalted countless times. Money in minutes has become Money in months! PLease help. Respectfully-RNP

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:Western Union did wire me the $44.00 back, yes, I absolutly picked it up. Unfortunatly, sadly ,I expected them to slap a quick fix to this. I look at it like this: Had I refused the money, it would be like they have tried to finally appease me and I refuse to be in compliance, raising cane for no reason. However, they are NOT trueful with their response and intentionally choose to deceive and ignore the one key fact that over shadows it all....THE FUNDS WERE REMOVED FROM MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION OR KNOWLEDGE. After a week of constant calling, 3-4 times daily, after I had to provide a statement copy from my financial institution, after I had to comply with credittcard.tracedesk.com.. After countless agents,supervisors,and escalation personnel assured and agreed it was a technical error. Unfortunatly, my financial situation shifted greatly to the negitive, and caused ne great emotional anguish, hardship & distress. I trusted this money transfer company, like thousands of others to be professional,honest and courtious. Yes, I did originally want a transfer to my youngest son, thousands of miles away from all family and friends , which was urgent need that never got fillied and cost me money I had to borrow and still must repay. Western Union SHOULD not be allowed to commt these types of financial errors on innocent , trusting people.

Sincerely,

***.

I have had a horrible experience with Western Union and doubt I will ever use their services again in the future. I attempted to use their services to send funds to a friend which they were unable to retrieve and were given an error message. I called and was suggested that I get a refund and the representative ASSURED me that I would receive a full refund including my fee. When I went to retrieve the money I was not given a full refund and was told that I would have to call back. Since I’ve just been given a run around. Customer service representatives continuously hang up in my face. How can you charge for a service that has not been provided or held up on your end? It seems like a scam to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens to many others. They literally have just kept my money.

I sent money to my Mother in Mexico online using one of the options that she could pick it up at the convenience store close by her house. She never wasn't able to pick up the money because said it was on hold for some reason. I chatted with a representative and told me it was fixed. My mother and myself we texted each other to see if she was able to pick up the money I sent her and still wasn't able to do it. I told this to representative and he told that the option I chose it wasn't available. I told him that I got a confirmation e-mail to prove it and still he argues with me that it was a system failure and that option supposed to be there in the first place. I ask for his Supervisor/Manager and she told me the same excuse but could fix so she could be able to pick it up at another location. My mother went to another location and still wasn't able to pick it up. I called the line and they told me that the money was ready to pick up, told them the issue and wanted to talk to a manager, I was on hold over 10 minutes and hang up on them. I called again to ask my money back and recommend me to go to a location to send the money and told them, if they can't solve this issue from the beginning? how you expect to go somewhere else to have this kind of issues or worst. Never going to send money on WU. It was a first time customer and it was on of the worst experience in my life.

I made a payment thru Western Union for $600 to Kia Motor Finance Oct 23, 2018. On Nov 2, 2018, Kia repossessed my car due to not receiving that payment. Western Union says they have no record of it either. The driver that repossessed my vehicle said I am the 4th person in the past few months who has been towed due to western union not delivering payment. I also checked with where I made the payment at and they said they couldn’t go back and look.
