This is a critical issue regarding a recent transaction I made through Xoom Money Transfer. Below are the details of the transaction in question:Transfer Amount: 1250 USD Transaction ID: XY7M5N3M Date of Transfer: 06/07/2024 ******************** of ******* ***** Due to an error in the account number provided, the funds were erroneously deposited into an incorrect account. Despite the mismatch between the account number and the recipient's name, the transfer was still processed and deposited into the wrong account.A company of ********************'s stature should have robust verification systems in place to ensure that such discrepancies are flagged and addressed before completing a transfer. In my previous experience with another money transfer service, any inconsistency between the account name and number halted the transaction, preventing such issues. It is alarming that this safeguard appears to be lacking in Xoom's procedures.Furthermore, I have not received any invoices or confirmations of the deposit, which further complicates my efforts to resolve this matter. The absence of proper documentation is a significant oversight that needs to be rectified.I have reached out to Xoom's customer ********************** multiple times to address this issue and to request the necessary documents. Unfortunately, my concerns have not been properly addressed, and I feel ignored. Each time I call, a new customer representative handles my case, forcing me to repeatedly explain the situation, which is incredibly frustrating and time-consuming.I kindly request immediate assistance in ensuring that the funds are correctly deposited into the intended recipient's account or refunding the amount to me. Prompt action on this matter would not only restore my faith in Xoom's services but also prevent potential hardships caused by this error.Initial Complaint

I tried to buy an item online and the company suggested to use Xoom to send the payment. I tried to send the payment on May 2 and was told the payment will be deposited on May 6. As of today, May 22, 2024, the payment has not been received. I tried to contact Xoom to cancel the transaction, but they not willing to cancel and saying the payment was made on May 5. I have attached the date, the transaction was made and an email where they said the payment will be made on May 26 and coming back and lying saying they made the payment on May 5. I have called them and sent them emails to refund the money but they haven't done that.Initial Complaint

I was using this service to send money to ******, after using this service for a while they locked my account. I called them and sent due to fraud I was no longer able to send money using this service. I asked them what I can do to find out what kind of fraud or how to clear this up. They told me there can be nothing done and will never be able to use the service again. SO I made another account but because my debit card information is associated with the account that is claimed to have fraud on, I am not able to make another account I called them to have them remove my debit card information and they refuse to help meInitial Complaint

Transaction Number: XEWWZT2N Transaction Date: April 1, 2024 Complaint Description:I initiated a transaction of $2,000 from the *** to ***** using Xoom.com (a PayPal company) on April 1, 2024. Despite Xoom's confirmation that the money was deposited into the recipient's ICICI **** account in *****, the funds have not been credited. Concurrently, the amount was deducted from my **** of America account.Upon contacting Xoom customer **********************, I was informed of a technical issue affecting not only my transaction but also hundreds of others. Despite this acknowledgment, there has been a significant lack of communication from Xoom, with only one update on April 3 stating that the transaction was still under investigation. As of April 10, the funds have neither been credited to the recipient's account in ***** nor returned to me.This delay and lack of transparency are particularly distressing as the funds are urgently needed for my father's hospital expenses in *****. The ongoing situation raises several concerns about Xoom's business practices, including: The handling and status of funds during transaction delays. Accountability in updating customers regarding the status of their transactions. The general approach to customer ********************** in situations of urgency and distress.Resolution Sought:I urgently request a transparent and immediate resolution to this matter, including: A detailed explanation of the delay. Immediate crediting of the $2,000 to the intended recipient's account in ***** or a full refund to my account. An explanation of measures Xoom will take to prevent such occurrences in the future.Your assistance in resolving this urgent matter would be greatly appreciated, as it significantly impacts my family's well-being during a critical time.Initial Complaint

On 5th December, I was trying to send money from my ************ account to my mobile banking account in ***** as I am in ******* on holidays and wanted to transfer my remaining funds to my ****** mobile banking service. The amount was 300 euros. I used PayPal and xoom for this transaction, however a few minutes after sending the transaction I realized I had made an error. I submitted a request to cancel the transaction with Xoom, they canceled the transaction and said I would have my money back in my ************ account in 3 business days. It has now been a week and they still havent issued the refund, however on PayPal it says the refund is completed but I have not received anything in my bank account. I was able to contact customer care twice but now they completely ignore my emails.
