International money transfer Money was not available when promised Virginia

I sent $30.00. to a friend in - via western union on -/-/2015 from home using my -. The charge was processed and I received a pop ip saying the transaction was being held for review. The funds are still held up and its been 12 days. I have e-mailed WU 3 times asking to either release or resend the funds back to me and they ignore my request. I have called them and still no satisfaction. My friend went to the WU office 3 times to collect the funds and was told they were being processed. After 30 days you cant get the funds back. I want my money put back into my bank account where they got it. I have sent money via WU many times and have a gold card with them and I have never received this kind of treatment. I was charged for money in minutes and do think I am due a refund of this charge. Transaction # -
