The Western Union Company Reviews (%countItem)

First off, you need to fix your customer service team. I keep being routed to your call center in the Philippines even if I’m asking for your Escalation Team in Denver or anyone above them. I was advised a Sandra O is handling this case. She never picked up the phone and never reached out. I'm only getting responses from your escalacations team with canned responses that it will take 20 business days then got a response that this case is closed and you will not refund the money back.
This money was intended for my sister in law Analiza I. M (caregiver my first cousin that has stage 4 breast cancer) and she’s supposed to pick this up in Manila, Philippines. When she was about to pick up the money, she was advised that this has been picked up by her or a fake person rather in South Cotabato at 8:03 AM. South Cotabato is 862 miles from Manila. Are you even familiar with Philippine geography? And how can a Western Union branch be open this early? This money was raised via gofundme and intented for my first cousin that has stage 4 cancer. Reference the below gofundme account. ***
Now, the sender (I, your customer) deserve the right to demand what fake ID was presented in your South Cotabato branch because the money came from me. Why do I need to get the law enforcement involved per your response ,just to see proof of the fake IDs presented to you?I can show proof or documentation that my receiver, Analiza I. M was in Manila on Oct 17th at 8:03 AM. I can even get witnesses to vouch for me.
Is this how you treat your customers? It was obviously a scammer who claimed my money in South Cotabato with a fake ID.How can a company and is public can just dismiss a customer and say you are not refunding my money, and if I need more info ask a law enforcement to reach out? I know my truth and will not stop until you refund the money intended for a cancer patient. You need to review your processes as well. Have this escalated to Sandra’s boss or even get your CEO involved! Taking care of a cancer patient alone takes a lot of time and energy for the whole family and now we are dealing this stress of fraud! And btw, my receiver complained at your Western Union location in Manila and was advised that she does not have the right to complain or follow-up. My lawyer just called your location in Manila as well and was advised to reach out to me, the sender. Why are you giving us a hard time? Is your intention for us to give up the money? My answer is NO! We will not give up, and we will let media outlets know how you conduct business. STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE!

Sent money on 10/22/2018 as expedited. It was supposed to be delivered in 0-1 days. Here I am over a week later and the transaction is still pending review. I have asked for them to cancel and refund ... they are refusing to comply. They stole my $! Will not deliver it or refund it!

I bought a money order. I accidentally put the wrong account number on it. Called Western Union to see how to rectify the situation. I was told that if I corrected the account number the money order would be considered altered and would not be honored by Western Union. They told me to go to my bank and write “not used for intended purpose” on the back and my bank would deposit it in my checking account. My bank would not touch it and said that they didn’t know any bank that would. Now I have to send it back to Western Union along with $15 handling fee to get my money back. All because I accidentally wrote the wrong account number on my money order.

I send $300 US to my spouse to the US on 27 Oct 2018 and when he went to pick the money up he was told that it wasn’t available and to get me to call them. I call them about 5 times without getting an where or proper explanation on what was the issue. Finally I got hold of someone who told me that it is under review about 2-4 hrs and they will contact me. Today it is 29 Oct 2018 and I call back and the money is still under review with no explanation yet again and no assurance as to when this will be received.

I requested a refund from Western Union September 27, 2018 in the amount of 80 dollars, being sent to Capitol One. Capitol one responded to Western Union on 9/28 approving the refund of on 10/6 Capitol One processed the return of funds back to Western Union. I have a check number that was provided to me by Capitol one as well as the date and address the refund was sent to. I call Western Union every day to check the status of my refund, they say Capitol One never responded. I called Capital One refund payment department and had a representative "***" on three way with Western Union and when Western Union and Capitol one call connected and they both were on the line Western Union said they were not allowed to talk to Capitol One on the phone and they needed to respond to an email. They then proceeded to hang up and did no t continue the conversation with Capitol One Rep ***. Everyday Western Union says Capitol One hasn't responded call back in 48hrs. I have been waiting on my refund since 9/27/2018 and they are giving me the run around. The 80$ is already affected in my Capitol One credit card balance which is 500$ plus 80$ that Capitol Returned to Western Union so my total Balance Owed to Capitol One is 580$ and Western Umion still has my 80$ and I would certainly like it back now!

I purchased a money order on June 1st 2018. Because the payee refused the money order I returned it to Western Union for a refund on September 18th 2018. The money order was $600, a $15 processing fee was deducted from the refund and a check for $585 was issues on October 17th 2018. I receive the check in the mail on October 23rd 2018. On October 24th 2018 I brought the check to the issuing bank to cash it. The issuing bank, Wells Fargo, could not locate the account number where the check was drawn from and I was told to contact Western Union. Not only was I unable to to get in touch with a representative at Western Union to resolve this matter, Wells Fargo tried to contact them twice and was transferred several times to a line that rang indefinitely.

Western Union used to be a fair company to use for Canada and training money all over the world. But today they do not support all cards for anyone to use it. I called in to complain and try my transfer on phone but they are not allowing Canadians to send it on telephone as they used to. Their services are not being free of discrimination either. When I asked them on the phone why no explanation was given.

I found them full of hate and disrespectful behaviour racism was apparent. I want their policies to regain convenience as now it is impossible to use their services at all now even to and from the USA to family and friends.

Sadly western union has turned out to be an unlikely false advertising company now as many can not use their services freely, without of any prejudice and freely to send money to our families is becoming an impossible task as western union is changing to a bad word in many countries. The false advertising is about they make it easy and to all countries around the world.

Many times it is been a horrible experience especially when we call customer service they are so rude and prejudiced against many cultures I had many not even try to be kind at all on phone. What happened with the nice company I used often in the past well it is gone.

On June 24, 2018, we, *** and ***, were given bad checks as recipients of a Western Union Money Order. The total amount of the transaction was $5,000. We were issued ten (10) money order checks worth $500 each. We deposited the checks down the street at a *** ATM (***) that same day. Although the ATM received the checks, *** and I, ***, each received a written notice from *** J. *** from *** on June 26 for adjustments made to our accounts. The funds were not credited. Seven (7) of the ten (10) checks proved to be bad checks. *** confirmed the bad checks and advised us to resolve it at the origin. $3,500 is owed to us by Western Union and Ralphs. The checks were picked up at *** in Irvine (***). Leah, the manager and individual in charge of foreseeing Western Union transactions, processed our transaction on June 24. I returned to this *** location in an attempt to resolve the issue, twice. However, Leah refused to discuss the issue each time, turning the attention away from herself to avoid accountability. ***, a *** cashier, of the same store is a witness and spoke to us regarding the issue on October 14, 2018, to an extent.

Three months ago I downloaded a Western Union app to pay for my house payment.Western union took out 3 payments like they were suppose to. October 10th Western union took out $659.35 twice they credited me back $659.035 and took 659.35 out again. I called the company and they told give me to give them 48 hours and they would credit me the money .I also sent a copy of bank statement where they took it out and I sent them it by email so they could give me credit which they never did.Then Oct.12 they took out another $659.35.These amounts had no tracking number to them and our bank couldn't figure out where the money went with no trace or tracking on it. We blocked the account so they couldn't withdraw anymore money. I called the company and a Representative hung up on me so I called back and the representative told me that I would have to wait 7 days that's it under review. I told them that I needed my money back. So Western union took a total of 1,318.07 that does not include the overdraft fees of $70.This has caused a huge problem. I have no money at all. My paychecks are going in account to pay this amount off. Because our bank said that these amount needs to be paid back to them.So we really could use the help in getting our money back.

Hello, thank you for your time. I have been dealing with Western Union on case # *** and they have email with a different case #***. This case was started on Sept 4, 2018. Which is the first email after filing and informing them of a fraud. The first email I sent to them had all the information along with of a copy of *** passport. The receiver of the money. As I wouldn’t send the money to her for the product without it. Western Union has sent me half a dozen emails telling me that they were working on my case and that I should hear back from them in 24 to 48 hours. I have never heard back from them! I have called Western Union 4 and maybe 5 times. Each time the representative tells me that they are working on the case. And I’m assured that I will hear from the department in 24-48 hours. Which never happens. Today when I called, I’m informed that no one is working on this case. And that everything thing has to be started again. And that all the people I talked to and emails should have informed me of this. I can’t help but feel that Western Union is working with these scammers. The MTCN is 3

I am rejecting this response because:The date in which the are reporting the fraud case was started is incorrect. I informed Western Union two days after the money was sent. After multiple attempts to contact them I got zero response other then emails saying they would get back to me in 24-48 hours. After many phone calls with Western Union only to be told that their fraud department was working on my case. At no time did they inform me to file a police report till very much later. Two months later I’m told that I need to file a police report. Again 2 months later! The person or persons could have moved their entire family in that time. The police will say how come you now took 3 months to report it. There is little anyone can do for a crime that happened 90 days ago. I hold Western Union responsible for this. Had they not given me a runaround from the beginning maybe something could have been done. So I hold Western Union the sole problem. They owe me the $920 that was sent and $100 plus dollars that they charged me to send it. If Western Union would have done anything that their emails said they would do, this could have all been avoided. Telling me in emails that they respond in 24-48 hours, which never happened!

Sincerely

On June 24, 2018, myself and *** were given bad checks as recipients of a Western Union Money Order. The transaction total amount was $5,000, we received ten (10) money order checks worth $500 each, and seven (7) came up as bad after our separate deposits. $3,500 is owed to us by Western Union and ***. Checks were picked up at *** Irvine, CA and manager Leah processed our transaction. On June 26, we each received written notice from *** J. ***, *** for adjustments made to our accounts. The funds were not credited. *** confirmed the bad checks and advised us to resolve it at the origin. Manager Leah from *** refuses to discuss the issue after several visits and attempts to talk. Cashier Nick of the same store is a witness and has talked to us to an extent. Over the last four months, we have filed multiple cases through Western Union and *** customer assistance, but all have been closed and handled poorly. We have not filed a lawsuit or arbitration for this issue.

I would give you NO stars! You aloud my stolen money orders to get cashed after I overnighted the refund request. Sent you an extra $18 to do it and now I have to worry aboyt where my lot rent went.

I was the victim of fraud using this companies money orders. When I requested to have a research request form for my money orders which is a service western union claims is a viable service I was upset to find that this appears to be a fraudulent service. I have called almost 30 representatives to have this order resolved and I was dismissed, insulted, or just lied to. This lead to a lot of misinformation and a lot of frustration. A police report has been filed regarding this case and this companies slow and disgusting practice is a hindrance on this criminal being found and brought to justice. I have filed a complaint about this business with the FTC as well as the Florida Attorney General, I submitted these research request forms about two weeks ago and I have not been acknowledged or given any peace of mind that this order has even begun to be processed and I was told I would be notified within 24 hours by multiple "Supervisors" and employees.

Western union stopped my last 4 transactions and banned me from using their service. They told me I was sending too much money. They said it would take 7 days for them to refund my money. It's been a month and they have not. I've called my bank and they said there are no pending refunds from Western Union. Every time I call them, they assure me it's been refunded.

M ***,Western *** is writing in response to the complaint we received from you dated 10/12/2018 which was addressed to the Revdex.com. In your complaint, you indicate that there is an unauthorized charge to your bank card.Please be advised that online transactions are sent to the bank for authorization and if the payment details have been entered correctly, the bank will accept the charge allowing Western *** to process the transaction. If we had received a decline from the bank, the transaction would not have been able to complete, and therefore, the draft from your account would not have occurred. Please also note that you may reach-out to your bank for a charge-back request from your bank. Once the request is received, Western *** will further investigate the concern.***Executive ResolutionsWestern ***7001 East Belleview Avenue, Denver, CO 80237Direct line: Tell us why here...
