Moneygram Problems

So glad you were able to get it figured out. /default_smile.png 

I wasn't as fortunate. 

 
I just tried to pay for an order with MG online and it was refused /default_sad.png really don't want to go to a shop to do it seems very intimidating.

Go to Walmart. It's fine. The people there are just doing their job. They don't care. It'll be fine.

 
So, not sure if I should make this its own thread, like a MG Vcom thread? Anyway, going forward it looks like Moneygram Vcom machines are no longer capable of sending to a different country (according to two different mg reps Ive talked to and personal experience). Face to face and the red phone are still good, but no more Vcom, at least going south of the border.

I wouldn't worry about a seperately thread. Probably not enough post activity on that specific element of MG. In fact, this would be a good time for me to work on rearranging and organizing the various payment threads anyway. Lots of odds and ends floating around in that area, LOL. Thanks for the update though. Yet more screw tightening where the flow of funds is concerned.

 
No problem. I think the sy guys are gonna have to get some stateside receivers or watch their business dry up.

That seems like a good idea - but - the cost to do an MG transfer from within USA to USA is $20 - and that is to only transfer $200.  So, by the time that you have shipping and transfer fees together, you would be spending between $75-$85.  Boo.

Ouch. I didn't realize state to state was so much. Still, better than not being able to do business at all, though, no? On the positive side, domestic receivers would open WU back up, too...

 
Apparently, Moneygram is down today. So I sent the money and now it is pending until they fix whatever issue they are having!! Ugh! I have the worst luck!

 
I guess no one else but me did. Right in the middle of the transaction, MG shut down! I had already paid so the gut calls MG, who told him that the transfer had gone through and gave him a reference # to give to me. I did not get a receipt or anything. So I checked later to see if MG was picked up and the customer service rep told me it had been cancelled!! Mind you, I already paid. So I went back to Walmart and they looked it up and it said "transaction pending"!?! The manager said they had issues with MG all day and that it should go through by tomorrow. She reassured me that it would be resolved one way or another(either receiver gets funds or I get refund). Damn! It is unbelievable how one person could have such bad luck!! Not just with this kind of thing but with everything lately! Ugh! I guess all I can do is hope it works out. Anyway, thanks for reading and if you have had a similar experience, please share!

Sorry to hear about all your trouble, Lucy. I would like to hear if others had any issues as well.

I know how you feel. Sometimes it seems that one thing goes wrong then bad luck keeps on coming.

Keep your chin up, it will get better!

is the MG transaction at a Walmart really better than a CVS? or Urban better than suburban? I've only noticed differences with the operator/agent i get. I use the same MG phone station repeatedly

 
does a minor spelling error in the sender's name matter that much? like to know, otherwise I'd have to go back and fix it with MG, takes a while

 
Spelling errors are a crucial mistake 

 
V74 I used to go to the big big box without any problems. Go when they're busy, less likely to ask questions. But in the end find some place you feel comfortable with. Also you may consider an a k a. Has it's pluses and minuses.

I just re-read your post and mistakenly thought receiver, which could be a big boo boo! however if you spelled your own name wrong or an AKA I would'nt worry. Hopefully you didn't spell your own name wrong /default_smile.png Just sayin' ya got to be careful.

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
