MoneyGram Money Transfers Complaint

International money transfer Money was not available when promised

MoneyGram Money transfers department,

International money transfer Money was not available when promised Missouri

I have been trying to send a money transfer of $120.00 - to - for the 2nd time after having to cancel the 1st time due to pick up delays. Basically, although the transaction shows as " ready for pick up '' in the online app, and Moneygram has even collected the funds from my account, my sender has been unable to pick the money twice at large banking institution ( - ) affiliated with Moneygram International. The recipient is basically being told that the number most be incorrect. Then, after having to send recipient the number for pick twice to no avail, I had to called the service line and to my surprise again they needed to verify my identify apparently due to suspicious activity. At the same time, I was transferred several times from the Hold Dept. ( Rep. named - ), then Online Dept. ( Rep. named - ), and finally they wanted me transferred back to Hold Dept. when I decided to end the call, and file this complaint. The issue is that this is not the first time that I have to verify my identify, and it seems that Moneygram is not taking any steps to update their system after having re-verify my identity several times before. And, I am instead being told that this issue will persist and that they are sorry, which seems unfair to to say the least especially when we are talking a mere $120.00 -. Bottom-line, I know of no basis to put me or my family through this needless hassle, and basically labeled as a " bad actor '' each time even after releasing the funds, and re-verifying my identity.
