The Western Union Company Reviews (%countItem)

Western Union is a terrible company. I purchased a money order that I was unable to use because of a change in the cost of the DMV charge. I cashed it and they returned it to my bank. When I called I could not talk to a representative because the automated system said a representative could not help me with my issue. I system did not know my issue because there was no prompt for my type of issue. I finally called the main western union number(which I found online) and they wanted me to call the same number as before. I refused and eventually after much arguing they transferred me to a person in the money order department. I was informed there that money orders deprecate and that my $35.50 was only worth $23.50 and I had to fill out paperwork online and then send it in for my refund. What is the point of the money order if not to guarantee the money? Also in what way is $35.50 in cash only worth $23.50? I paid $1.99 for the money order. I feel it is very dishonest and wrong for a company to claim cash money "deprecated" $12.00 after purchase. Shame on Western Union. I will never purchase another money order through them, even if I've to drive way out of my way. Lesson learned.

I filed a refund and they said it's been sent and I haven't received it. I've been trying to contact thme for 2 months about it and I feel like I'm being robbed. They have ignored every complaint/ customer service email/call I sent them. I just want my money back but I can't even get ahold of them.

Someone Stole my identity using their online option. When I spoke with them the phone number used on the form did not match. There are not enough checks in place to ensure that the person entering the information online is the person sending the money. I was told a *** received the money but to my knowledge a person can receive funds through Western Union without state issued ID. They simply have them sender add a "test Question".

On 26 Jul 2018 used Western Union to expedite money $150 to USAA. Paid an extra $10 to expedite funds. On 27 Jul, I read information and realize that I sent money to a non-wire transferable account (checking). Immediately called Western Union to change the account # to insurance account#. On 28 Jul I called to check on receipt of the $150 from Western Union to USAA. No money had not been on-hold or processed to either account (checking or insurance). To date each week I have spoken with either a representative or supervisor from both Western Union or USAA. Both are unable to make contact via email or phone to resolve this issue. I have also on 2 occasions given Western Union supervisors, the fax # to the ACH section at USAA, to no resolve.
Yesterday and today I have been on hold for 35 minutes waiting for a supervisor or someone to answer to inform me of the waiting period. The phone disconnects at a certain point in waiting. I have not received a return phone during this 2 and a half month period from either company.

To whom may it concern?
Respected Sir/Madam
I am a representative from ***. A customer came in our store and purchased a merchandise then he paid with a money order (MO # ***) with an issue date on it was 07/05/2018. After getting the merchandise he left. When we submit it to the bank they said there is a stop payment on it and in order to do the refund you have to fill out the form, notarized it and then submit to the Western Union. We did all the required procedures related to the refund. Then we received an email from Western Union that "WE are unable to process your request for a refund because of the stop payment placed on the indicated Money Order." After that I contact the head quarters and speak with one of the representative who said that they already refund the money on August 9, 2018. First they said there is a stop payment and then they already refund the money.
I submitted all the paperwork on August 30th, 2018 and until then they didn't tell us that the money is already refunded instead they sent me an email stated that a stop payment on it.
Instead of giving me the correct answer they are just providing different information. I do appreciate if you can look at the matter. I have the entire document accordingly based on the dates I mentioned in the issue.
Thank you

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: Thank you so much for the reply. Actually I submitted the email to the executive solutions department too. I am attaching the copy related to it. I did talk to them and after a complete conversation the solution from the executives is to contact the purchaser. I already mentioned that I don't have any information related to the purchaser as he was a walk-in customer. I do appreciate if you can look through the matter. The name of the person I spoke in the executive department is Mark G.

I purchaed a money order on 7/20/2018 it was returned by the bank on 8/7/2018. I called Western Union customer Service and spoke with Operator ID #*** and was told the store had cancled the money order. I filled a police report and sent W.U. the information they requested. I was told I would receive a refund with in 10 to 15 days. On 8/20/2018 I was told it was processing and it eould be 15 to receive refund. On 9/11/2018 after still not receiving refund I called W.U. back spoke with "Derrick" ID#*** who said it wpuld be mailed on the 18th. On 9/27/2018 after receiving nothing I called W.U. again spoke with "Lula" ID#*** and "Penelope" an account managet who was rude and hung up on me. I called back and spoke with "Amber" account manager ID#*** who gave me case number *** and said would be processed in 24 to 48 hours. On 10/8/2018 I still had not received anything from W.U. called and spoke with "Max" ID#*** asked for a manager. Spoke with "miya" manager ID#*** who told me it was processing and to give 15 days. This was at least the 5th time I had been told it was processing and I should receive in 15 days. I got the number to the W.U. corporate office from thr Revdex.com website when I started to file my complaint. I contacted W.U. at 1-732-694-2184 and spoke with "April" ID#*** who said they eould create another case [case #***] and someone would call me back by Wednesday or I could call them back. It has been 3 months and W.U. has consistently put me off, lied to me and given me the run around. I havr not received my refund and everytime I call them I am told it will be 15 days and I will receive my refund. This seems to be a deliberate stall tactic in hopes that customers will eventually give up and go away. I have been lied to on multiple occasions and their customer service reps. have consistently been rude, uninforned, and unhelpful.

I made a money transfer through Western Union (WU) from my US bank account to my nieces bank account in the UK on 7/24/18 for $213.78. She never received the money in her account! On 8/11/18 I provided copies of her bank statements, 7/24/18 thru 8/9/18 to WU stating if a resolution could not be made that the funds be pulled back and refunded to me ASAP.

I have lost track of how many times I have called and spoken with customer service only to be told the funds were put in my nieces bank account on 7/31/18 even though they had copies of her bank statements. I eventually received a phone call and was told they were having system issues getting bank to bank transactions to UK banks and I would be getting a full refund. (I did get one for $2.99 transaction fee)

Multiple phone calls later, still being told the money was put in my nieces bank account, I requested an audit. I received an email 9/14/18 that my refund was processed for $213.78 and would be in my bank account within 7 business days. I also received a phone call telling me the same thing. I have yet to receive this refund. I called yet again this morning (10/7/18) only to be told the money was put in my nieces account on 7/31/18.

I GIVE UP! Can you please help me?

Revdex.com:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, I have written to them since they sent me two different emails, two different explanations, two different MTCN #'s and two different refund amounts. I have picked up my refund against one of the MTCN #s and notified them of their error.

I very much appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Sincerely

financial gave me an option to pay my final payment for my acct#924778583 via check or credit card. They were eager to receive the payment and to use the credit card for that. So I chose to do so and they transferred me to western union to process it. When I spoke to the WU rep., he simply went straight to the point and asked for my card info to process a onetime payment of $706.
When I looked at my credit card statement, I noticed a cash advance fee. It turns out to be that WU has completed the payment as a cash advance payment for ***.
I spoke to my Credit Card and they cant do anything. *** said that they didn't know that that is how WU processes the payment as a Cash Advance and not a regular credit card payment, and they can't do anything about it and blamed WU.
Neither *** Financial nor WU has DISCLOSED to me that processing the payment using my credit card would be done as a cash advance. I would have made *** wait and mailed out a check (which would've cost me a postage) instead of using the credit card.

I am rejecting this response because:

I received letter from your support:

"Please be advised that the refunds for your trades Deal IDs *** and *** have been initiated and the funds shall reach your source bank accounts within 2-3 business days."

this letter I received 29 October in the morning, 4 business days have passed I have not received money in my bank accounts, this situation is outrageous i'm waiting for 3 months for a refund.

I have been trying to transfer funds to my father in a different state. Not only did I have to travel to different locations to send the amount, now my father is having difficulty in retrieving the funds in Maryland. I called several times. I was placed on hold for over 30 minutes each time to have someone discourteously hang up on me twice when they could not provide a simple answer to my questions 1) why is my father not able to get the transfer and 2) what location would you suggest he go that can give him the money I have transferred. It has been hell on earth with this company. If he is not able to get the money, I will call tomorrow for an immediate refund (we will see how that goes). I encourage everyone to NEVER EVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY EVER. They have an F rating for a reason and have been involved in various fraudulent actions as can be seen on the Revdex.com website. This is the first and last time using this service. I would rather mail a check. NEVER AGAIN! I will attempt to file a formal complaint. The service is beyond garbage.

H. *** (the sender) sent $200 to her Brother who has a name *** since Sept 4th. he lives in ***. the Western Union put the money on hold. since then we called and exchanged emails a hundred times. they asked for IDs and I sent and then they said there may be a similarity in names with one unpreferable entity. if you google the name (***) you will find 150 Million in the Middle East. the Western Union asked for another ID I sent them one in Arabic because when I sent the Passport which is in both languages they ask for more.
when I called the 1st time the person I talked to gave me a ***@gmail.com. which is %100 is a scam but the phone number I called was the number on the website.
then I called again and I got the right email.
this is it has been going since the 4 th of September. whenever I sent an email I get an automatic reply saying we will replay in 2 Hours.
days went by and no answer yet.
we are so sorry to deal with Western Union. we need our money back. I will advise all ***s do not send money through Western Unions.
Thank you

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because: Although I was finaly able to retrieve a $60.00 refund after spending countless hours on the phone with western union and being hung up on several times, it took me over three day's of calling western union, going back and forth to the bank, having the bank call western union! Honestly they should have refunded my notary charges as well $15.00 for each request, "$30.00" Although I am happy to get my $60. back I will never do buisness with this company agian. They really need to make it clean in the money order requist form "maybe in bold print at the top" Without a reciept are stub dont waste your time and hard earned $ trying to get a refund!!! I did everything I could to try and get my $1000.00 back with western union "even though I had the money order number's and they knew they were never cashed" I spent countless hour's on the phone to 20 different people at western union since mid June 2018, been hung up on a lot transfered to every department thinkable all for a stupid $1000.00 wich I did not get back from western union "$60.00" thank's ! I spent over four month's dealing with this company. They have the worste customer servise I have ever delt with. You call them and when you finally talk with someone it sound's like a big party in the background. I wish I would have wrote down all the rude employees ID # at western union but the list would be to long! I did finally talk to a couple helpfull people this past week trying to get my $60. but 2 out of over twenty is not good. I wasted so much time and energy dealing with this Horrible copany, truly I don't understand how stores and bank's allow this company to exist in there stores? "I guess because people have no other way of sending $ out of the country. As for Georgina, Not helpfull at all. Spoke with her one time, "left coutless voice massages, never called back. Called her a few times last week when having trouble trying to get my $60. refund! Mailbox full! Are you kidding me someone at corparate office has a full mail box?

I am tired of writing, and dealing with Western Union. I think I may try and open a company with good customer and employee service skills that make it easier and more plesant for people to send and recieve $ and to talk with a nice human being when trying to get a refund are deal with any other issues they may have.

My issue is resolved for my refund with western union, but my complaint with the Revdex.com No! Western Union is the worste company I ever dealt with and will try my best to never deal with them agian!

Sincerely

I mail my *** payment every month. I use Western Union money orders. I mailed the payment for September 2018 on August 8,2018 ,apparently it was not received. Lost in the mail. I mailed the receipt and the 15 dollar processing fee. Well, they cashed the processing fee September 19, 2018 , but did not put a stop payment on the lost money order. I emailed Western Union and received an answer; stating if the form is ,on the back of the receipt is complete and legible . Which it is complete and legible. I have the documentation, Why wouldn't they check that first before cashing the processing fee. Apparently it seems ,they plan on absconding with my money and not address the issue of refunding the lost money order. I just want to let everyone know, beware of using Western Union money orders . I hope ,I receive my refund.

I bought a money order filled it out and wasn't used for purpose intended.Been seeking a refund and customer service is very poor they refuse to give me my money back. Very complicated nobody knows anything. Seeking refund in full.

I purchased the money order but lost it. They now have 156 dollars of my money and I have been trying to get it back. They have had me jumping through hoops and still wont refund my money.

Per Tracking number (MTCN) *** I initiated a Western Union wire by phone. Once the transaction was completed I was informed it would take 4 or 5 business days. For this reason I immediately called Western Union to cancel. However, two weeks later this charge is still showing up on my bank s*ent.

I sent $924.99 to Germany for my family and the person who was picking up the money couldn’t get it because of her ID didn’t match what WesternUnion had on their information so she was unable to get the money, However later that night it was posted as being picked up by the receiver which is untrue. I contacted WesternUnion and filed a claim stating it wasn’t picked up. They spent over a month investigating it and I called them and they said to give them 5 more days. So I called back today 9/17/2018 in the morning and their trying to say that the receiver picked it up so I’m asking for a signed documentation with the signature from her. I am very unsatisfied with the way they handlers my claim and I wanted a refund for the money they still owe me.
