Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues Other transaction issues Illinois

I was wired money by my sister across the country. I went to the nearest western union licensed against. There were probably - or - other customers in the store. I go to grab a slip that I 'm supposed to write my private information on including : my password, phone number, address, and that same information about my sister the sender of money. When I ask for a form to fill out he says do n't worry about just tell me the information. So I provide him with the information but because it is not written down I believe he put the password in wrong. He says " The passwords wrong I can help you '' and go 's to another person. As I 'm on the phone with customer service I hear him making derogatory and discriminating remarks about - and refusing to answer customer clients. He seemed to have - friends hanging out with him and was only interested in getting the rest of us out. When I reached customer service via phone I explained to the guy on the phone that I am attempting to receive money but the agent claims he 's locked out of


get the agent to talk to. the againt says " No, You should go. '' So then I tell the guy on the phone I 'd like to file a complaint about this again. The guy on the phone says he needs his name and agent license number. I have neither so I ask the agent and his reply is Get out. Ultimately I never got his name or license number, but I did get the store address and name, and he is the only guy behind the counter during the day time. He also Never gave me the money I came in for although now he and all of his friends in the store had the private information for withdrawing the transfer.
