A question about Western Union.

[1nd]

I just placed an order using this method. I put their correct information down when on what I filled out, gave them the money, and then signed a piece of paper. They gave me a copy of what I filled out, and the receipt.

It wasn't until after I got home that I noticed that they put MY last name on the receiver's name. I looked at the copy I made, and I did in fact put THEIR name.

This cost me $280. Is the source going to have a problem getting the money, or is there any way to change this so that it has their name?

Go back to the store and tell them they messed up and need to fix it. I have had it happen where they misspelled something before and I was able to get it fixed when I called them.

Would it have to be the same store or could it be any of the same branch? The one I did it at was about an 2 hours away from the house checking out a few cars, and it would be nice if I could just go to the local one. If not, oh well the drive would be fine.

You have the receipt so any store should be fine.

Bingo. These issues have to be called in using the same phone number you put down on the form. Hopefully you used your real phone number...
If not, you're SOL.

I used a legit number, but I will have to drive a decent amount in order to pick up signal. But that's okay...at least now I know I didn't lose 280 bucks!

You are fine bro. Do as suggested above.

I've made worse mistakes on my past WU's since I'm filling those damn things out on nearly a weekly basis...
