International money transfer Money was not available when promised Money was not available when promised Maryland

This is about Western Union money transfer to another country. I sent a money transfer in - -, 2015 to a relative who is not very mobile and is easily tired. My relative went to the Western Union agent in that country and was told that there was an error. I called up Western Union and was told to cancel the transaction and that the money will be refunded to my bank account and to make another WU transfer. I cancelled the first transaction and made another transfer. For this - transaction dated - -, 2015, my relative was told that there was an error but the agent can not tell what the error was. I verified with the Western Union here in the USA and was told that the money was ready for pickup and there was no error. I was told that my sister can go to the agent again -! ) and to call the customer service in that country if my relative is not able to get the money. The service I used was the transfer in minutes using my debit card. Knowing the condition of my relative, I thought it is best not to use Western Union anymore. So, I cancel this - transaction just now and ask for a refund. I am writing so that consumers know about this experience and that Western Union improves the services of their agents in other countries. Meanwhile, my relative and I faced inconvenience, wasted our time and agitated us.
