Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/22 my wife purchased a western union money order at XXXX XXXX in XXXX nm for XXXX usd for our rent payment it was lost or stolen at XXXX we called western union after XXXX said we needed to contact them to cancel it. Wesyern union said they do not cancel money orders and would refund in 7 days if not cashed We filed a claim XXXX XXXX we were told bye a representitive to do XXXX case number is XXXX. And were told it would be refunded in 7 days. On XX/XX/XXXX after talking to a representitive we were told it was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX and we cpuld not be refunded. Instead we would have to sighn a affidavid that removes liability for the funds and they could only give us details on who and where the mo was cashed if we sighned the forms I feel this violates ftc guidelines. And western union is being fraudulent and misleading it is very difficult to reach them ive spent hours on hold hu g up on and bounced around in the system
