Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that I have no option but to accept this resolution.  There has never been a determination as to whom or why this occurred nor a guarantee that it will not happen again.  The only thing that is guaranteed is that my points were transferred,that I am now a new customer with Western Union after 11 plus years of business and that if I want any information concerning my account I have to jump through hoops and provide information on my first born but anyone else can call in and change the name on the account without any question.

Dear Mr. [redacted],This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com regarding a refund from a money transfer transaction.A refund was processed on October 5, 2016, and should have appeared in your bank account seven business days following its release. At...

this time, Western Union has not received notification that the transaction was rejected from your account. If we need to further research this matter, please reach out to Western Union. Sincerely,Western Union Executive Resolution Team

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Dear Resolution Team, While my "sending money ability" has been restored; no one from Western union ever bothered to contact me.  To claim here that no rejected transations can be found is a flat out lie.  As I respect Revdex.com policy I will not post all the emails here. In regards to the Gold Card being discountinued I never received any notice of that.   
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Dear [redacted],

This is in response to the complaint you filed with the Revdex.com.

We have reviewed the transaction that you attempted to send on August, 7, 2015, using the Telephone Money Transfer (TMT) service. Your...

transaction was declined due to failure to meet our validation requirements in compliance with our Anti-Money Laundering compliance program or similar legal requirements. Western Union works hard to provide money transfer services that meet the needs of the public while complying with government requirements and protecting consumers against fraud. In order to comply with government constraints and protect consumers against fraud, transfers may be blocked or limited. A previous transaction successfully sent does not guarantee that a future money transfer will be validated since each transfer is verified separately.
On your complaint you mentioned that you attempted to send funds online. We were unable to find any attempts made through our Web site, however, we did find attempts made through our Telephone Money Transfer (TMT) service. We confirmed that you were able to send funds at a Western Union location.
As a courtesy Western Union would like to provide you with a free promotion code to use when sending a money transfer transaction. This code will cover your fees on your next Western Union money transfer. This promotion code was sent to you via separate e-mail.
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.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I would like Western Union to reissue the letter with instructions of how to send them my "change of address" documentation so I can follow up with them.
I am sure it is not as easy as walking into a store with a check stub.
