ADMIN – Hi Elizabeth,
Your situation is not relevant to this case. Please read the settlement carefully.
And, just because you got scammed by someone using WU name, doesn’t mean they have to pay you back. The scammers themselves do, good luck with finding them!!

Thank you for your comment but note that a comment does not count as a claim, furthermore crank calls are not considered a key element of this settlement. Finally, the deadline for this settlement has passed. Please note that we are purely an educational/informational website we don’t send forms or return calls.
They are still sending me texts, now I get them 2 or 3 times a week, even more then before. This needs to stop!

ADMIN – Hi Sue,
The deadline for this settlement has passed. Even if you qualified you are no longer able to submit a claim.

If you are having trouble getting responses from the class action administrator consider reaching out to class counsel. Here is the link to the attorney

Where is the list of names for the class action?
ADMIN – Hi Khara,
What kind of list are you looking for?
I was sent a paper for my claim and someone stole it out of my purse at my job. I was wandering if i can get another paper so that i can mail it back to rhe company so that i can get my settlement for the amount of $575.46.
ADMIN – Hi Petula,
The deadline has passed. You are no longer able to claim.

ADMIN – Hi Marcia,
It is best that you contact the class action administrator using the information we provide on the settlement page.
What’s going on with the settlement case’ the date came and went. And have not seen or heard of any date on when claims will be sent out.. Have t seen anything posted as to when people will be sent there money.
ADMIN – Hi Charles,
Have you reached out to the admin to ask? When you do tell us what you found out.
Has the western union text message
Settlement has been finally approval by the trial judge??
ADMIN – Hi Leroy,
I will find out for you and post the update on Facebook.
Same question thank you
ADMIN – Hi Gerry,
Please email info@WesternUnionTCPASettlement.com with your questions.
WHEN WILL THEY SEND PAYMENTS? IT’S BEEN LIKE A YEAR SINCE I SENT THE PAPERWORK IN.
ADMIN – Hi,
Please contact the admin with your inquiry info@WesternUnionTCPASettlement.com
I would love to know an update on this case are we actually ever going to see a check. I filed a claim was before the deadline just wondering what is going on
ADMIN – Hi Nathan,
To get more info contact info@WesternUnionTCPASettlement.com
Hello,
I have emailed the people at the link you provided 3-4 times, and I have not gotten a reply back. Just curious as to what is going on with the settlement….thanks
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
At the moment I don’t have additional info.
Just wondering if we will actually EVER see a check??? I have emailed the admin 5x, NO RESPONSE!! go figure. Any updates would be greatly appreciated.
ADMIN – Hi Paulette,
If you are having barriers with the admin try contacting class counsel.
I had no luck with email either and submitted a request for information or update in writing. Got my response today and there is no update. Still waiting on court to approve the settlement and as indicated on the website there is apparently no time limit on that waiting period that can be provided to us by the Settlement Administrator. So, in this case news is just no news but I did at least feel better hearing something 13 months after the fairness hearing.
ADMIN – Hi Wendy,
Long waits can be frustrating I am glad you got a response.
So, there is a shred of hope we might see some refund by the end of the year. Would be a blessing if itvwould come in time for Christmas, but will not hold my breath. Guess all we can do is wait wait wait….
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
Class action settlements are all about waiting.
I was a very frequent user of Western Union and received more cards and text messages in one day then I cared to get. It blowed my phone up! It was aggravating!
ADMIN – Hi Anita,
Sadly the deadline for this settlement has passed and you may no longer file.
Amazing to me that there can be NO DEADLINE. I know that this class action may not be as financially detrimental as the other Western Union Class Actions currently going on but considering all they currently have to pay out with their other suits, how are we assured that we would ever be paid? I recently submitted another request in writing requesting an update and 2 months later got the same canned response: No update, no deadline, no help.
ADMIN – Hi Wendy,
Is that what your canned answer read?
Any update available at this time?
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
I don’t see any updates from the class action administrator.
I haven’t got any response after 5 e-mails what going on ..
ADMIN – Hi Lorenzo,
Consider reaching out to class counsel if the class action administrator is not getting back to you.
I was scammed for 788.00 western union did not do anything to help me i filed a claim in 2014 and im jus now receiving info on my check for 4 years i couldn’t send or receive money from western union i new something was wrong with this company. I feel we should be suieing them for millions
ADMIN – HI Christina,
If you feel Western Union did something illegal against you by all means reach out to a private attorney and follow up.
Not gonna growl or gripe…just checking in to see if there are any updates I can look forward too. Thanks…..
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
No updates at the moment.
was sent a card for the settlement
ADMIN – Hi Beverly,
That makes you a class member. Congrats!
Hello, just checking in to see if there are any updates. I submitted my claim when it first came out, and am yet to hear anything….
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
No updates at this time.
I filed a claim and have a confirmation number. Since 2016, I have moved. How am I notified of any updates or payouts?
ADMIN – Hi Kristina,
You can send a certified letter to the class action administrator.
Hi, I submitted a claim back in 2016 when all of this started has there been any word of a settlement?
ADMIN – Hi Kimberly,
Payments to valid claimants will be made only after the Court grants Final Approval to the Settlement and after any appeals are resolved
Update: Claim was granted approval on Aug. 25, 2018, now as of today claim form died line is Nov 25, 2018.
Hi, I have sent emails to the administrator, cluing him in on my new address….do you think they got it corrected? I filed a claim when this all was mailed out in the beings? I sure hope so..I have been one of the more patient people waiting to receive money.
ADMIN – Hi Carrie,
I would send a reminder via snail mail.
Any updates seems like this is dragging on for years?
ADMIN – Hi Jones,
No updates at the moment
