WorldRemit Resolving a problem (see below)

My name is Stephen Thorne #WR6659319. I have been using World Remit for years. For the last month, on trying to transact but continue to get a message when I go to "review and pay", that states "Something went wrong Bad request error occurred for resource of type createpayment". I need to resolve this if I am to continue using the WR platform. I have called the SA number many times, but I have been either unable to get through for 20 calls or more, and when I have got through to the menu it does not cover my issue. Please help me, I dislike having to use expensive Western Union as an alternative. Greetings Steve

Desired outcome: Clear Advice on resolution of problem

WorldRemit Cannot use debit card for payment

My name is Sajid Hashmi my email [protected]@hotmail.com. I tried few weeks back to send money by using Santander debit card was my payment was refused I tried again today and again I could not, so I contacted Santander and was told the problem is with worldremit who have not updated some security concern. I was able to make the payment by using Santander bank transfer. I would appreciate it, if you could look into this as I found by using debit card the amount transferred reached quickly. The amount I transfer today was just over £150.

I hope I have given you enough information, if not please contact me with the registered email address [protected]@hotmail.com

Regards

WorldRemit I have been hacked and I want to delete this account

A person posing as from Bank of America fraud opened an account in my name (Brenda Kuder) to try to get money back from someone who hacked me. That was his story. He is trying to transfer money. Please refuse that and close my account. Both of my bank accounts are frozen right now because of the original hack so I am afraid that when I unfreeze my accounts this transfer will go through. I had a chat with someone who wanted me to fill out a form for $1 to get more help but my accounts are frozen. Please respond to this.

Desired outcome: Close my account

WorldRemit Money transfer to Philippines, 25th and 26th of November each day 3-4 trials at different times on the 25th also during tyhe evening

After selecting amount, pick up and where to pick up as well as the person to transfer to, You are supposed to select payment method. I usually use credit card but when clicking pay the system just hang and you see a rotating circle.

I have tried with 2 different computers as well as 2 different browsers. Google and Edge. The result is the same, when selecting pay by credit card and click pay all that happen is that you see a circle rotating. After that nothing happen. I have given up after 5 mins.

Both on 25th and 26th of November each day I had 3-4 trials at different times on the 25th also during the evening.

I have also tried to change person to where i send just to see if there was something related to the person but the result has been the same.

to say it short, the transfer do not work.

Desired outcome: I like to be able to transfer money again

It is second time in a short while that it is not possible to make payment, Again, it is impossible to make money transfer as the system hangs immediately when clicking for payment. All you see is a rotating cicle.

I compained about this short time ago and it worked for like 2 days and then the same [censored] happen. It is very annoying and can wonder if there are no more interest getting things in order at World Remit

My probably has been solved. All in all, I have been using World Remit for many years, and this has never happened before. I will continue to use and trust them in the future, as long as this doesn't happened again.

WorldRemit My transfer to the Philippines

I have transfered $3,000 aud to the Philippines several times and this one transaction never was sorted out and my gf told me it wasn't their. i have rang several times costing me lots of money and have emailed world remit several times and they always ask the same questions instead of looking up what was transcribed before. My case number once wasn't even there one customer service officer told me and this last time the lady hang up on me. Very rude people. First was told on the 4th it was still in processing stage and would take a week, well its been 15 days and still no joy. Iam in the Philippines now and still haven't gotten my money. How pissed you think Iam?

Desired outcome: Want to get my money what else. Need more professional people dealing with cases like mines. Iam depending on that money and its sitting my plans back now.

WorldRemit Account has been disabled

I have used Worldremit for so long, but today i tried to log into my account and it says it has been disabled.

I did not receive any notifification whatsoever why it has been disabled.

I did successfully verify my account many months ago by supplying my ID and proof of address and even Payslips from my job.

At least a notifification or any kind of message would be nice.

Desired outcome: Enable my account.

WorldRemit Lack of credible Customer Service

I made a money transfer on the evening of 07.11/22. There was a problem with the transfer and you said to contact you. How is it possible to contact you when one of your phones is registering as an Invalid Number and the other simply rings out then goes dead

What an appalling system of Customer Care you have. , even whern you ask people to comtact you.

Desired outcome: Getting a transfer stopped and the money returned to my bank

WorldRemit Money transfer

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to you to raise an issue about: Money Transfer

The issue that I have experienced was:

Money not delivered, 3 emails, many many phone calls. On the phone: apologies, the local agent reported by mistake (?) the transaction as PAID. They told me there was a technical delay to refund me. Every phone call was: apology and technical delay necessary for reimbursement, that never came. Now I cannot any more call them (the call is not accepted any more) or send them email.

The FACTS.

October 6. I send 280 dirham (28€) to my friend in Moroco, as I did previously many other times.

He went to the usual bank (BaridCash) but the cashier said the transfer code MAR140959722 was not valid. He tryed many other banks, unsuccessfully.

I sent an email to worldremit.com. On my side the transaction was reported ad "PENDING" on the worldremit website.

The next day my friend tryed again, unsuccessfully.

I looked at my worldremit account and found the status changed in "PAID".

Then I wrote 2 other emails and make a lot of phone calls, as previously stated: many apologies and was told about a technical delay necessary to refund the money.

It occurred on: 2022-10-06

This meant that Lost 28€ and a lot of time in phone calls.

My friend needed urgently the money for a doctor visit.
