I wanted the recurring sending of money cancelled

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Its hard to cancel recurring sending of money. It made me anxious because it automatically sends $100. As for the customer service, she was helpful but seemed in a hurry and detached.

Yall are holding money from my fience in the Philippines

What you did is fine, but my fiancee has to get a ride for 35 minutes to claim the money I sent her for my vacation with her in two weeks. She has to take off work even to go get it and stand in line on top of that.

Is it the amount that gets the money stopped or just the transaction that does it? It is a good thing you all do, it's just the timing of it.

Please, from now on, call me then we can get this settled before she leaves to claim the funds. Thanks, James Enochs.

Western Union error on funding

Western Union error on funding
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I paid for my money order, it was issues and mailed. Then denied by bank.

Checked with my bank and wal mart where I bought money order and no funds returned. The person I sent money order to cannot cash it. YOU screwed up and now I cannot get ahold of a live person to help.

Absolutely horrible customer service and after many many year of using your service, this will be the last time. *** poor in your part.

YOU screwed up when you paid money for an essentially non-negotiable instrument. Nobody is under any obligation to accept any form of payment other than U.S.

currency which reads "This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private".

Everything else is just a gentlemen's agreement which has been rejected by another entity. That rejection is perfectly legal even though "they" won't tell you that.

Track a money otser

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased a money order and can't find the receipt stub. I'm being told I have to send them $30 in order to get a photocopy of it.

It seems like another way to get more money from a customer.

Also, you can't even talk to a live agent to get something taken care of. I will never again buy a Western Union money order or use them for anything.
