getting idle money back from western union

[lucius]

i have found that a lot of times after sending money to an iop, they can take a while to pick up and send your package.sometimes during that wait you may come across new bad info on the provider or you are just tired of waiting on them.is there a way to reverse the funds back to yourself if they never picked up your money?

yeah. either go to the location you made the payment or call western union if you made the payment online. I don't think the fee is refundable./

If you paid with cash at a B&M, you can call WU over the phone and have them change the receiver name to your own, then you go and pick up your money. Of course, the fee is never refundable. Usually, once you do that though, you burn the bridge with that vendor forever.
