Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (2000, 6, 2015/06/26) */
Western Union provided me a 100% refund as I wished so everything is settled

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I understand that the delay was not caused by WU I also understand you do have an understanding with *** (as your customer service told me and you also provided in your prior response) that within five days funds should deposited to recipient account I need you to work with that overseas bank and provide me specifics why it took them days? Are they not in violation of their contract with WU? Please connect me with WU legal department, if possible
