Domestic (US) money transfer Other transaction issues North Dakota

On -/-/2016 I sent $300.00 plus a $10.00 service fee through my savings account at - Bank to Western Union via online. I was to receive an email with the tracking # but no email arrived. I did not have a tracking # and when my son went to pick up the money he was unable to get it. Online at both my bank and Western Union ( using my cell phone # at WU ) I was informed the money was transferred from my account and was at WU. I went online to WU and after 2 hours online and on the phone the rep told me they would resend the email with the tracking # within 24 hours. An email again did n't arrive and on -/-/2016 I called WU again. I was told they never resend an email but they could refund my money and I could resend the money again. After being on the phone for 30 minutes the rep said he had to transfer the call so I could get a tracking # for the refund. I spent another 1/2hr on the phone to finally be told WU can not refund the money and I would have to do that thru my bank. I finally resolved my issue by calling my bank. WU lied to me from the beginning about everything. If I had n't pursued thru my bank they would have kept my money. Their reps do not speak good - and lie to the consumers.
