The Western Union Company Money Transfers Complaint

International money transfer Money was not available when promised

The Western Union Company Money transfers department,

International money transfer Money was not available when promised California

I used western union services and they took the money out of the account and sent me a completed transaction letter. When my dad went to pick up the money they denied the transaction. When following up with WU, they said oh yeah, the transaction did n't go through. This was a transaction completed -/-/2016, this is now -/-/2016 and I still do not have my money back! This is not the first time I got this problem, initially I thought mistakes happen in the system, now I believe they are making money on denying transactions and keeping money for weeks making interest on the customers! There was no communication from WU telling me sorry and what went wrong, in fact when calling them I got very limited info, saying may be the recepie by reached some limit, but never a definite answer, never giving a direct answer to the declined transaction. Terrible service. The managers had no answer why transaction was cancelled by western union. Telling me to write to the headquarters. This is weeks now and my money is still held by them.
