The Western Union Company Reviews (1762)

Dear Ms. [redacted], This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com. We sincerely apologize for the problems you have experienced.We have reviewed your concerns. The Money Order department confirmed that on February 3, 2016 they received a three pages fax that did...

not include the front part of the stubs, that show the details of the check (money order number and amount). According to the instructions on the Web site “The money order receipt must accompany each request. If the purchaser's receipt is not enclosed, your request will be delayed and may be denied. This information is also located on the tracer form portion of the money order receipt.”The Money Order department successfully received the required documentation on February 10, 2016. The full refund has been processed and should arrive the week of February 15-19.As a courtesy and because of the inconvenience you have gone through, we processed the refund of fees for $30.00. This should also arrive the week of February 15-19.Quality service to our consumers is our primary concern at Western Union.  Our apologies for your overall experience and for the struggles you faced trying to obtain your refund.  As we are a global company, we have several customer service centers throughout the world where your call may be handled. Please know that we monitor and evaluate operators to ensure quality customer service is provided to our customers.  We regret any inconvenience this matter may have caused. Sincerely, Executive Resolutions Group

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:I do not want to ever use Western Union again. It has been 2 months since my first email, and NOTHING has been done to compensate me for the money I spent, the money my wife spent, the time that my wife spent and the 5 hours that I spent!!!!!!! If it took me two months to send a customer of mine a response, I wouldn't have any customers. Western Union by far is the WORST COMPANY THAT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH IN REGARDS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! I am not sure if they even know what customer service is about. I understand all about security and fraud and I applaud your strategic ways to deal with this problem, but please REREAD MY ORIGINAL EMAIL, AND TELL ME IF YOU THINK THAT IS THE WAY TO HANDLE THINGS......I don't have time in  my life to deal with company's that don't know how to properly deal with their customers, and when a mistake is made, they don't even apologize or try to compensate the customer!!!! You say there is no amount listed for compensation, well 5 hours out of my day alone is worth $200.00, besides the $  17.86 in fares, now my wife spent $15.00 in fares and her time was worth $50.00, which is a grand total of $ 282.86

Dear Ms. [redacted] This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com. We sincerely apologize for the problems you have experienced.The transaction is a Direct to Bank Money Transfer. We obtained confirmation from the bank partner that the bank account that was specified...

at the time of send was successfully credited by the time indicated on the send receipt, December 29, 2016.We appreciate the feedback you provided regarding your experience over the telephone.

Dear Mr. [redacted], This is in response to the rebuttal to a complaint you filed with the Revdex.com. Western Union did not overcharge you or illegally keep funds from you. The service was provided and your receiver did collect without any issues. To reiterate our previous communication, the letter that you received explained that our customer service representative that assisted you sending funds by the telephone (Telephone Money Transfer/TMT) may have not provided adequate oral disclosures during the telephone portion of your transaction and for that sole reason, Western Union decided to reimburse the fee.Quality service to our consumers is our primary concern at Western Union. Our apologies for your overall experience and for the struggles you faced trying to obtain your funds back. Please know that we monitor and evaluate operators to ensure quality customer service is provided to our customers. As a courtesy, we have added 150 points to your MYWU account *-*-[redacted]. You can redeem the points to cover the fees when sending a future money transfer.We regret any inconvenience this matter may have caused. Sincerely, Executive Resolutions Group

Initial Business Response /* (1000, 4, 2015/08/20) */
Dear Ms. **,

This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com. We sincerely apologize for the problems you have experienced.

We have reviewed the transaction that you sent on February 8, 2015. According to...

the comments on the transfer, you called Western Union on June 17, 2015 to request a refund because your receiver was unable to collect the funds. There was a technical glitch on the first refund attempt processed on June 17, 2015. Our records indicate that a manual refund to your bank account was processed on August 10, 2015.
We contacted you by phone on August 20, 2015 and you confirmed that you have received your refund.

We regret any inconvenience this matter has caused. It is our hope that you will not base your opinion of us on this incident, but that you will provide us with the opportunity in the future to serve you in the manner which has made Western Union a global leader in the money transfer industry.

Sincerely,

Executive Resolutions Group

Dear Mr. [redacted],
This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com. We sincerely apologize for the problems you have experienced.

We have reviewed the transaction that you sent on July 22, 2015. We also...

reviewed the call recording where you indicated that you were unable to provide the money transfer control number (MTCN) to your receiver.
Western Union did honor the contract by making the funds available for pick-up as you originally specified.
The refund of the principal amount was processed on September 3, 2015 and you confirmed having received the check.
We regret any inconvenience this matter has caused.
Sincerely,
Executive Resolutions Group
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 6, 2015/10/26) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
This is the same non-response I got when talking ti Western Union before filing the complaint. The "MTCN" number was something that Western Union was supposed to supply me with via text immediately after sending the $125, and they never did. I kept calling and asking for it and they said "we cannot give that to you" - then they would ask me for it each time I called -?! Which is immaterial anyway; I paid an additional fee to have the funds made available the same day. The transfer never went through. Western Union's claim that "they honored their contract" is completely without merit; if that were the case, they wouldn't have refunded anything. Refunding the principle recognizes that no transfer occurred' therefor ALL fees associated should be refunded. They can't have it both ways. IN any event, this was my first experience with Western Union, and it will certainly be my last and I will steer everyone I know away from them. They ought to realize that, in the 21st Century, there are increasingly plenty of other options to transfer funds.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 8, 2015/11/10) */
Dear Mr. [redacted],
This is in response to the rebuttal to a complaint you filed with the Revdex.com.
Your transaction was recorded at an authorized Western Union location. The money transfer control number (MTCN) is provided in the receipt. The MTCN is not to be provided by telephone for security reasons.
To reiterate our previous communication, as you originally indicated, Western Union did honor the contract by making the funds available for pick-up.
Western Union proceeded with the refund of principal as per your request.
Western Union apologizes that you found difficulty using this service.
We regret any inconvenience this matter may have caused.

Sincerely,

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I never revisited the location. I tried to get refund from my location near my home and was told transaction cannot be found. The reason they are unable to contact me is that the incompetent, non-english speaking agent did not record my information correctly. I addressed this with WU customer service ANG PROVIDED CORRECT INFO. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND.
Sincerely,
[redacted]
