Resolved Xoom.com — money transfer

Not the best customer service and please note they don't allow commercial transaction which is BS. No one contacted us informing the money transfer is on hold unless if you call them. They asked bunch of questions like how you related to the recipient and reason you send money. This is not the first bad experience with them thought I give them a second chance but still UNHAPPY and went to different company which is more reliable especially if it is urgent.

      Xoom.com charges for every single transaction which of course its fair. However their exchange rate is usually 60 to 70 pesos less that the official exchange rate ( I send money to Colombia) which mean that they kept a percentage over the amount that you sent plus their charge per transaction and like if they were just having so much fun with costumers their TV adds show a pig that its traumatized because of companies like them. SHAME for XOOM.

    Xoom — Closed my account for no reason

    I had a Xoom account that I used to send money to personal acquaintences in The Phillipines. Saturday I tried to use the account and it was not accepting my password. When I called customer service, they told me that I violated the terms of service (a totally outrageous lie), but they cannot tell me what term I violated. They then told me I would be getting an email explaining it. Today I got the email, which said that they decided to close my account because of their boldfaced lie that I somehow violated the terms of service. The emial did not say what that term was (not surprising since their cliam is a total lie), and it also said that there was no further information, no appeal, and any email to them will be unanswered.

    Who the hell do these high and mighty worthless pieces of garbage think they are? Who appointed them as God? To cancel the account of an innocent consumer based on total lies and then hide behind a wall of silence? Where did they learn banking, North Korea? Or was it Nazi Germany?

    Do not do business with Xoom. If you have an account, cancel it now.

        They did the same to me. I submitted all that they asked for and instead I received a cancellation notice. I discovered that they cancel accounts when senders try to send larger amounts. They prefer small remittances where they can charge more fees.

      Xoom — Not reliable

      First time user of Xoom service. Initiated a transfer on Friday evening and on Sat morning the transaction still didn't complete. Called customer service several times and they weren't very helpful in providing status or making an effort to complete the transaction. Eventually, I lost confidence in Xoom ability to complete this transfer and cancelled the transaction. I went to Western Union to make the money transfer and that completed immediately. The Western Union fee was higher, but the exchange rate was better than Xoom.

      In summary, Xoom did not perform as advertised and based on my experience I would caution others using their service if your money transfer requirements are immediate.

        Xoom — Worst Customer Service

        Hi,

        I had raised a request to Xoom (a service provider which provides money transfer services from United States to India) for increasing my transfer limit. To my surprise, the request got denied. I called up their compliance department to check the reason why this happened. The customer service officials are very very rude in answering the questions and were shouting on me

        They told their corporate office denied it because my income didn't match the eligibility to increase my transfer limit. That's absolutely fine and I understand that. I was trying to explain her that one of my friends got it approved, when the official started yelling literally "You can't compare yourself with others". Its a simple answer "You do not get qualified because your earnings are not sufficient to increase your transfer limit". It is that simple. The first representative who spoke to me was too rude. She hung up on me and also never let me talk. I told her "If I had known the customer service would be so rude, I would not have opened an account with Xoom". She was asking me if I wish to close my account and she could do it right away

        WHAT THE HELL? BECAUSE A CUSTOMER HAS A CONCERN, YOU WOULD JUST LET THAT PERSON WALK AWAY DISSATISFIED?

        The second one was equally rude. At one extent, I got pissed off and told her to stop and let me talk. Then, when I finished asking my questions, there was no answer from the other end. I thought even she hung up on me and said "Hello" for couple of times. You know what her answer was? "Sir, why do you keep saying hello hello? You don't want me to talk. Shall I answer your question now?". Is this the way to talk to a person?

        Xoom customer service sucks. The service officials are arrogant and rude. I was totally disappointed. I would NEVER EVER RECOMMEND XOOM to anyone. I am looking for other vendors who offer service

              Matt,
              I received my reward after putting the above statement on complaint boards. I could not have wasted my time in emailing you guys to get my referral reward. It took so long that I could not wait any longer and had to take this step of commenting it here. As per the transaction, my first referral had finished their transaction long time ago, around 4 months and it took so long to remit that referral reward to me. Just a piece of advice if you feel comfortable considering it, is to make that process faster and make customers happy, that in return benefits Xoom.com to get more people via this offer!!!

              Hello Derek,

              I am sorry if there has been some issue in getting you your reward. However, your statements are completely untrue. Xoom pays 100% of all eligible referrals. If you have an eligible referral that you have not received a reward for we can help resolve that. You can send an email to [email protected] and I will gladly review your case and see to it that you get your reward.

              Thank you,

            Xoom — Acct Closed ????

            They offer what appears to be a great service, very reasonably priced money transfers. I lucked out, they closed my acct before they transferred money. I was trying to send funds to a friend in the Philippines for Christmas. They put a stop on my acct because they said the funds were being used for sexual activities or gambling. From what I have read on this board, its probably the best thing they could have done for me. Their customer service line is absolutely useless with reps speaking what seems to be very heavy Jamaican accented English. They will always transfer you to the "correct department", but the "correct department" never picks up the phone. BEFORE EVEN THINKING OF USING THIS "SERVICE". READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS HERE and then USE WESTERN UNION!!!

                I've heard that customer service is one of the most important aspects a company should focus on in order to ensure the best customer experience. ATMCash is a money transfer service that boasts the best customer support team. They ensure that during business hours, you will never talk to a machine and you will get prompt service every time you call in or chat with a live representative. If you're tired of bad customer service and would like to have a better experience when sending money online, www.atmcash.com [protected] is the best choice for you. Please note: office hours are Mondy - Friday 8 - 6:30 PST.

              Xoom.com — terminated account

              XOOM.COM is a joke! Having been a customer with them since 2005, they decided to close my account. With no explanation, per their service agreement, they can do that without notice or explanation. They questioned the recipient of the remittances -- MY FIANCE!! I said I've been doing this for years and now you question it? They said they randomly do this to accounts. Then they asked questions about who the person is and can I provide receipts that my fiance was real. I said she probably doesn't keep receipts. Also, the obvious fact, I had this account for years and she obviously has been approved by me, right? So the Xoom rep kept going on about it's part of their policy to do this randomly. I said fine, just tell me how to reactivate my account. Once again he asked me to provide receipts of her home (i.e., utility bill, etc.). T'hen he said he would send me an email detailing what they want. I said I'll check my email when I can. Once I checked my email, I was floored to get the following message: Your Xoom account has been disabled.

              Pursuant to the User Agreement, Xoom may, at any time and in its sole discretion, refuse any Transaction, and reserves the right at any time, and from time to time, to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) with or without notice.

              I think this company should be investigated by the Feds. That's the stupidest so-called policy if I ever read one. Now I have to see if MoneyGram or locate another service. I won't use Western Union cause of their crazy sky high fees! Be aware and stay away from Xoom!

                    I wanted to change me email address from my work to my personal one, The person in Customer service said that i cant change them because my personal email, was associated with another xoom account, which was probably me several years ago, but not one transaction was done using it. she said that i would have to transfer all the banking information I had to another account. Set up a new email address and use that. I work in IT and I know what is required to change from one email to another, I also understand the security issues too, but they said there systems doesn't allow them to delete old accounts or change emails on existing accounts.
                    My old email address was set up in xoom in 2010, ( 4 years ago) they have told me that they keep all dormant accounts and that each person is only allowed to have one xoom account. Despite me saying i only have 1 active account, that I have had with them for the past 4 years, associated with my work email address they cannot delete my old one. My advise for anyone is DONT USE XOOM WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS UNLESS YOU PLAN ON USING IT FOR LIFE. other wise you will have to set up new banking information to each person you intend to send money too, each time you change your email. to put a very simple solution to this problem JUST DONT USE XOOM, find another provider

                    Their customer service representatives don't have a clue about their job. Xoom is the most incompetent and worthless company to send money; I will rather use western union or even bank wire, more expensive but more serious, companies like xoom really need to be out of the business

                    Xoom.com / Money Transfer — Lies on 15 minute transfer

                    I have the need of sending money to Mexico due to an emergency, so I use the service xoom.com, they claim to deliver the money in 15 minutes, so I did it, the story is as follow:
                    March 4th, 2011.- I use xoom.com to send $200.00 U.S. dlls. to Mexico for only $4.95
                    March 5th, 2011.- My family called me telling me there was no money sent to them yet
                    March 7th, 2011.- I checked up in xoom.com under my account and they just live a message saying that it will take 5 to 7 business days to clear the money from my bank
                    March 8th, 2011.- I called xoom customer care, they just apologize for the inconvenience and claim it will take 3 to 5 business days to clear the transaction on my bank (it seems to be this the number of days they say to all their customers). I tried to cancel the transaction but they said it will take 30 to 60 days to get the refund of my money!
                    BOTTOM LINE IS NOT TO USE THIS SERVICE ANYMORE IS MY ADVICE, TRY TO EXPLORE SOME OTHER OPTIONS, Western Union is very expensive, but at least it has worked ok in the past to me.
