      I made a transaction on 9/30/2022 for 100, came out to 108. For whatever reason it was refunded back to me on 10/05/2022 so I assumed as one would they transaction didnt go through. I sent the money again. On 10/12/2022 the original amount that was sent back was again taken out of my account , along with $50 when no transact has even been made for the amount on this date. Again today , 10/17/2022 another $30 was trying to be charged on my card. Theres no transaction on my account at all that would account for this. Is is completely unacceptable and the system errors are not my fault . I want my money refunded back to me. The transactions in question that I know are are MTCN 442-150-5947 , and 661-048-2992 which still show pending after a month.

      Hi there, I am having yet another issue with This company, they will do anything to NOT refund your hard earned money! The last time I had an uncollected transfer and requested a refund! It took me speaking to 6 different agents, and two months and many lies, this time same thing! I made a transfer for $207 on the on 12/ 10/22 the very next day I saw another withdrawal of $62.60 by western union I called them, same run around like before, they say the fraud department would get back to me within 24 hours to fix the issue as they have been having issues with double charging customers, no one got back to me like before.. there is Absolutely No transfer from me to anyone on the 13/10/22, I made a transfer of $62.60 on the 12th of September which was deducted out of my account and was picked up by the receiver! All my records bank as well as western union s shows when and how much i transferred and it was received by receiver, my issue is why is Western union freely hopping into my bank account when they please, without my consent, my consent is strictly when I am making a transfer! Otherwise they are committing a crime .. I would like my money back into my account immediately. I am including records of my transactions .. $62.60 may seem like a small amount but imagine if these companies steal $62 from everyone! They give you the run around so you get winded and do not pursue the matter .. I want my money back Immediately.

      When I was new to Western Union around 8/18, I was the victim of fraud because I didn't know any better. I let it go and continued using Western Union safely, legally and ethically for over 3 years after that without any problems. Then in 12/21, it was brought to my attention you could report fraud to them and they'd ban the person who committed it. Figuring it was my duty to protect others, I called in and reported what happened to me. The next time I tried to Western Union, I found out my account was deactivated and I had to send in information proving it was me. I did, waited a few weeks then find out it's me who got banned. On top of that they won't provide a reason or let me appeal. This is retaliation and the whistleblower should be protected.

      Complaint: 18171249

      I am rejecting this response because: the tracking number you have provided to me is not valid. I have gone to several Western Union stores and all have rejected this tracking number stating that it is not valid. Please provide a valid tracking number so that I can retrieve my money. This money is for medical expenses for my brother and I need it back as it is my money. Thank you!

      Sincerely,

      *******************

      I transferred about $600 to Western Union via the online transfer process on 9/21/2022. I used the Engish application so that I could understand everything (there was an option for Japanese and an option for English). Once I entered all of my information, the transfer went into the review stage. Then, it was accepted, or so I thought. 9/21/2022 I received an email saying they received my transfer. A few days later I received an email saying that they were unable to go ahead with the transfer because my address did not match exactly with that of my ID. The reason they don't match is that I typed it in English, but my ID was in Japanese. Had I known this would happen then I would not have used the English application. I then followed the instructions for requesting a digital refund to my bank account. I received another email on 9/27/2022 saying that the documents uploaded for a digital refund are being reviewed. I went to an agent location of Western Union and talked to a person there. He called customer service on the phone and they told me that the refund was in process and just to wait a while. 9/28/2022 I received another email stating that they could not verify my uploaded documents and have initiated a retail refund. 10/1/2022 I called the customer service number which I received in an email and explained the situation. The woman could not help me, so she directed me to the higher office of customer service. 10/4/2022 I went back to the Western Union agent location. The same man called again for me on the phone. They told him that they had initiated a retail refund and that I just need to wait to get the cash. My credit card payment is now late by over a week because of this problem and I am being charged a late fee.
