Dear Ms., Western Union is responding to your complaint
we received from Revdex.com dated 1/23/2020 which was
addressed to our corporate headquarters. In your complaint, you indicate
that you have been attempting to have Western Union remove your home address
from your brother's profile and you have not received the proper
assistance. On January 30th, 2019 during our phone conversation we advised
you that we were not able to locate an individual by their address alone
and therefore had no means by which to identify your brother who was using your
mailing address, and that all Western Union profiles and transactions
require an address. We are not able to delete the address without having a new,
verified address to input. You were able to provide us with further details and
we were able to establish contact with your brother who provided us with an
updated mailing address. Therefore, your mailing address has been removed from
your brother's profile. Please bear in mind that even though we proceeded with the
deletion of your mailing address it will not prevent your brother from
continuing to provide that address in the future. When a consumer reports to Western Union that they may have
been a victim of fraud, Western Union takes a report and is available to assist
your local law enforcement in their investigation. According to our records, a
fraud report was filed by you with Western Union on 01/31/2020, fraud case
number: ***

Western Union considers this case closed. If you have you have any
additional questions or concerns regarding this complaint or resolution, please

On September 13, 2019, I reported six money orders as lost. I paid $90 for six tracers. On November 13, I received the documentation that was originally sent to Western Union on 9/13/19 requesting for the original proof of purchase. On November 15, 2019, I went to the retailer to where I bought the money orders and asked for a proof of purchase in which they did provide and also proceeded with resending the documentation which consisted of six customer refund requests and six tracers for the missing money orders. I have been trying to obtain information in reference to the status of the case for over a month. However, the representatives as well as the supervisors are giving me a hard time.

I used the money transfer service to send $100US to GUYANA. The recipient was told that she could not uplift the money because THERE WAS AN ERROR IN THE SPELLING OF HER FIRST NAME. She contacted me and I went in person to one of the locations t make the correction of the spelling of the name. The agent informed me that the money was uplifted. I made contact with the intended recipient only to learn that she never was given the money. That meant that someone had illegally uplifted the money. I have made many attempts to get information of the merchant/ manager of the location where the money was uplifted but have been unsuccessful.
I am asking for contact information so I can speak with someone at the Guyana end to learn more about what exactly happened but Western Union is saying that they do not have such information.
The merchant must have a signed agreement which is a legal document of the name of the business owner and a telephone number filed with Western Union corporate office.

My grandmother sent me a transfer in the amount of 3200.00. I went to pick up the money at a local bank branch and they told me that there was no money available. I was instructed to have her call the 1-800 number and she did so, she gave the information that was needed and was hung up on. I called several times afterwards and was hung up on as was she. I hoped on the live chat and was given the story that the money would be credited to her account and all the fees would be given back. The kicker is she paid this in cash now the money is in limbo and so much for a service that prides themselves on sending money. She is 92 with very little technical experience. This has been the rudest and worst customer service I have had on several fronts. I will never use them again and hopefully you wont either.

I sent a money transfer and the confirmation email said the transfer will be ready in 5 business days. I called customer care but no one told me why are they holding the money

The Western Union Company Response • Feb 06, 2020

Dear ***,Western Union is writing in response to the complaint we received from you through the Revdex.com. In your complaint, you indicate that you sent a Money Transfer through Western Union that advertised it would be available in 5 business days; however, your indicate that your brother has yet to receive these funds and you believe this is false advertising.

Western Union has investigated your concerns; Our records indicate that in January 10, 2020 you sent a transaction via our WUPAY services from Canada totaling 210.00 CAD to a consumer located in Malaysia.

MTCN: XXX-XXX-***

On January 10, 2020 at 17:31 PM Eastern Standard Time, you initiated a transfer for 210.00 CAD to *** Hammad in Malaysia. The availability date provided was January 15, 2020; however, Western Union did not receive the funds from your bank until January 17, 2020. As a result, this caused a delay in your funds being delivered to your receiver as the 5 business days is from when Western Union receives the money from your bank. Since the funds were not received until January 17, 2020, the funds were not made available for your receiver until January 21, 2020.

We highly suggest that you follow up with your financial institution to inquire why it took 7 days for Western Union to receive the funds as this is out of our control.

Having considered the matters raised in your complaint and evidence available; Western Union does not believe that there has been lapse in Customer Service or misconduct on our part. We hope this helps clear up any concerns you have about our service.Western Union considers this case closed.

I used WU to send $75 to my family in Ukraine on 01/05/2020. When they tried to pick it up (trip to a bank, line of people, time off work for that), they were told that the transfer number didn’t exist. They told me, and I immediately called Western Union CS. The operator I spoke to during my first call told me that the transfer has been canceled, but he wasn’t able to explain why it had been canceled. He kept repeating that I exceeded the limit, but he wouldn’t say the limit of what. I’ve used WU for small transfers to Ukraine 5-6 times in the past 10 years. Never used it for anything else. Since he wasn’t able to explain anything clearly and just kept telling me that I’ve been refunded, I asked him to transfer me to the supervisor. He put me on hold and then hung up in a few seconds. I dialed WU again and asked to transfer me to the supervisor right away. The person put me on hold and then transferred me to the line that no one picked up in the next 14 minutes. I hung up and dialed again, with the same result.
Being unable to reach a supervisor, I submitted a complaint on WU website. The next day I decided to give another try calling. This time after some wait I was connected to a supervisor. However, he wasn’t able to provide any additional information, and told me exactly what I’ve already heard, with no explanation as to what the reason for canceling was and whether I can do anything to change the outcome (including sending money again, but to a different person). He said that he just didn’t know whether the limit was on a particular person (me or family member), country-receiver or amount of money. He said that since I have a case now, someone from a different department will contact me. 4 days later at 7.20 in the morning I got a call from Frankfurt, Germany, and, was left a voicemail, since I wasn’t able to pick up my phone at that early morning time. I couldn’t hear pretty much anything on that voicemail, nor the lady left a phone number to call back (and I won’t be calling to Germany). I’ll submit the voicemail transcript below:
“Hi _?_?_?_?_ this is _?_?_?_ company _?_?_?_ ID _?_?_ one of the supervisors for a global customer care of for a senior since _?_?_?_?_?_ in able to reach you this call is our first _?_?_?_?_ think you will transpire during the _?_?_ my _?_?_?_ transfer for action thank you very much and have a great day…”
Suffice it to say, I used *** to successfully transfer the money, that was intended to be a Birthday present. Unfortunately, it was a late one. My family abroad and me here in US now wasted a whole lot of time dealing with this gross incompetence and a lack of any decent knowledgeable Customer Service.
AND, in addition to that I still don’t have a refund for this canceled transfer (sent on 01/05/20). Needless to say, they’ve lost a loyal customer.

Revdex.com:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID. I have indeed collected the refund (they actually made it into a money transfer to me) - they suggested that the only way would me to go to the store I originally used to send it. So I did - and was told that the transfer was to be collected in a different state, and not in the store I originally sent the money from. The cashier was kind enough to call WU herself, and whatever explanation she was given she wasn’t able to understand. Then they asked to speak to me, and I was told that they are transferring it to the store now. Finally, I was able to get the money back - all after 6 calls, a Revdex.com complaint, a separate trip to the store, 1 more call from the store cashier. Ridiculous customer service on the market, where there are other providers of the same services.

Sincerely

I purchased a money order on 10-31-19 from QuikTrip (QT) in the amount of $100.00. The same day, I deposited the money order into my bank account. A few days later, my bank sent me a return item letter and charged me $10.00 on a return item. The letter advised that the money order was returned due to "Refer to Maker". I contacted QT and was advised to call Western Union. Upon contacting Western Union I was directed to file a dispute using the back of the money order stub. I mailed the dispute stub to Western Union on 11-04-19. On 11-27-19 I called Western Union and the recorded line advised that I'd hear something in 10 days. I never received a response. I called again and spoke with a live representative who stated that I'd receive an email. On 12-31-19 I received an email advising that this was a banking error for the following reason; IRD (several presentment may occur when it is thought that the first presentment was not credited). I presented the letter to my bank. My bank advised that Western Union need to provide me with a copy of; date cashed, name, amount, who money order was presented too, and how money order was cashed. I contacted Western Union to inform them on what my bank advised. Western Union is advising that my case has been resolved. They sent me a copy of the front and back of the money order which is the same image I already have when I sent them the dispute.

The Western Union Company Response • Jan 17, 2020

Dear ***, Western Union is writing in response to the compliant received through the Revdex.com, regarding your Money Order request. Western Union has investigated this matter. Please be advised that our records reflect that the Money Order was presented to Western Union on the same day more than one time and the item was paid clean in banking terms on the first presentment. Several presentments may occur when it is thought that the first presentment was not credited. The payment processing bank may have presented the image of the Money Order multiple times. In this case subsequent presentments are returned as unpaid because credit has already been given for the first presentment. A refund will not be issued to you as we cannot pay for the same item more than once because the funds are only available one time. You must pursue this matter further with the Bank of first Deposit where the item was presented for payment using the letter attached. Western Union considers this case closed.

on 10th Jan'2020 (Friday), I made a transfer of $2827 using Western Union app after my friend recommended the service. Since the wait time shown was 5 days, I cancelled the transfer and made another transfer of $1425 using Xoom (paypal) on 11th Jan'2020 (Saturday).
But strangely enough, on 13th Jan'2020 (Monday), my bank was charged $2827 by Western Union for the cancelled transaction !!!
That leaved no balance to honor the Xoom transfer. I was not only charged the return charges by my bank, but now I am running from pillar to post to get my money back from Western Union. It is not only difficult to reach their customer care (long wait times), but they are also not upto the task.
I am in a soup now as I do not have my own money to pay for the transaction I made. I have never been charged for canceled transactions by Xoom; but Western Union is a cheater firm taking your money and rolling it over which means your money is used by the firm- Outrageous !!!
Please guide me whether I shall sue them over for I have wasted my time & money over them for last two days to get my own money back!

I sent a money to Western Union online, see to it that I have the correct information of my recipient name and updated it, and system said information updated. So I sent the money, but it turns out that their website has a problem and didn't update the name of recipient, so I called the western union and they told to cancel the transaction and send a new one, so I did what they told me. the 2nd transaction was successfully sent, and they said that the money will refunded in 5 - 7 days. Its been 10 days already I called them so many times and talk to different people, one said that they have refunded the money already and I need to call my bank, but when I call my bank they said that they haven't return it yet so I called the western union for the 5th times and they said that refund is on hold. I don't know why they have to hold it and in the first place it wasn't my fault why the transaction didn't go through, its faulty website and system.

Once more I come by because of the lack of interest from WU to solve issues in a peaceful way. On December 21st I made a transaction and sent U$241.01 to my Brazilian account with an exchange rate of 1U$ = BRL 4.03 and that should make BRL 996.05. On December 23rd I received the money on my account however with a way too lower exchange rate (1U$ = BRL 3.90) and that made the amount of money decrease to BRL 967.75 (minus the Brazilian tax). At first I understand that the rates can be estimated but this time the change has been too big and made me loose nearly 10U$, that's not acceptable. I sent an email to WU on December 23rd and they replied telling me that I should call 1-800-325-6000 with a case number 80981337. On December 29th (because my job requires me to travel sometimes) I managed to contact WU and after 30 MINUTES OF A CALL where the attendant barely could speak and essentially gagged the whole call, named Ana, she informs that I had to call a different number and explain ALL OVER AGAIN! After that she gave a new case number 81453366. What's the first one for then??? Still no resolution to my problem and WU has a strong tendency to tell costumers that they have to go around looking for the right department. I guess it should totally the opposite! Let me point out that this is not the first time that WU has no intention to solve issues on first contact and apparently only by coming here something really happens.

The Western Union Company Response • Jan 13, 2020

Dear Mr.,

This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com we received from you dated 1/13/2019 which was addressed to our corporate headquarters. In your complaint, you indicate that you processed a transfer via your bank to your bank in Brazil and received a lower exchange rate and you are requesting a refund for the difference.

When choosing a money transmitter, carefully compare both transfer fees and exchange rates. Fees and foreign exchange rates may vary by brand, channel and location based on a number of factors. Fees and rates are subject to change without notice. The typical exchange rate is adjusted 1-3 times a day, but exchange rates can change at any given time of day, any number of times, subject to the currency volatility. The exchange rate between our online services and retail agent locations may also vary depending on the aforementioned factors.

At this time, we have confirmed that no errors were made by Western Union with regards to your transactions exchange rate.

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'd like to point out how confusing for a costumer when he / she trusts a service and that service can be manipulated without any kind of transparency. When it's not visible how rates are dealt with it's a matter of the company's decision of how to charge a costumer.

Sincerely

Hello,
I use Western Union services for some personal and very small business amount money transfer needs..
Suddenly I found my name blocked, called the local customer service in Jordan and they asked me to go to the website and fill a customer service support form and I did so.
They replied me with a request for ID, Passport, Last number of transactions and the person that I receive or sent money to, and also I sent all the document and information that they asked for... after they got all the data they replied me that I can't use their services anymore without any reason!!!!
I asked again about a reason but they didn't say any reason
I did nothing for this.. and I will sue them in the court if it needs to
This is exactly what discrimination means

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:This message gives no reason for blocking my name, they know clearly that I have submitted the documents that they asked for, also I will take an action for that because its only a discrimination act.

I can send you publicly all the transactions that I made lately (Images), with all the contact details.. I have nothing to hide

Its not about using there system its all about the concept it self

Feel soooo bad

Sincerely

I had attempted to send money to Mexico to purchase property that was on sale, however due to certain policies I was told I couldn’t so I decided I would do it through the bank. Western Union returned partial money back to me and is going nearly to 3 weeks and I am still waiting for the rest of the money. I keep calling the numbers they tell me to call but I just keep getting told conflicting information.

I purchased two money orders in the amount of $1000 and $407.85 on October 30, 2019. This were thrown away mistakenly and was for my rent. I have contacted WU multiple times and kept getting sent to an overseas customer service department. I was initially told the money orders had not been cashed. I completed a refund request form and sent that with a $30 processing fee as well as documentation showing I am the purchaser. When I called again to check on the status of this I was told one of the money orders had been cashed on 10/29/19 and I would be mailed photos of where it had been cashed. I called again and explained these were not purchased until 10/30/19 so there was no way they could have been cashed. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to a line that just kept ringing. I called the customer service line again and was told neither money order had been cashed yet. I explained I already sent in the request for a refund weeks ago and was told they had not received the request. I spoke to someone else on 12/26/19 and was told to email them the documentation. I did this and was told it was take 24-48 hours to appear in their system, and would take 5 business days to process, and another 10-15 days for a refund to be received. My landlord has now filed for eviction and I am dangerously close to being homeless with five children.

I made a money order on 10.11.2019 at Fry`s *** location (***) amount $500.00 and I send it to the future landlord with USPS mail. She tried to deposit at *** on her account but she couldn`t because the bank claims the money order was stoped. Thay took the original money order from her, and they give her a copy of the money order (legal copy of check). Then, she called me and she told me about a problem. Then I checked the status of my money order and got the answer that money order is chased out on 10.17.2019. The payee didn`t deposit or cash out MO, and I (purchaser) didn`t stop MO, also I could not refund my MO. *** (BOFD) claims the MO is stoped, WU claims MO is cashed out. She didn`t get the money I sent to her.

On November 28, 2019 I sent money to my husband in Jamaica to pay his rent in the amount of $400.00,on the same date they sent me an email and stated the transaction was cancelled for no reason and a refund would be issued within 5-7 business days.I waited the 5-7 days and then a rep stated it went to my bank account. I contacted my bank who told me there was no refund and the transaction was completed on their end so western union would be responsible.I contacted western union back and they told me they would escalate refund to refund department and to wait 48 hours. I waited another 48 hours and at this point I know longer bank with my previous bank and explained to representative I would no longer have access o the bank ad she at that point stated I would be allowed a cash pick up and be provided a new tracking number to go collect the refund. To this very day I have called back to back and get the runaround with no refund and I need my money this has been close to a month now.
